Hayden James & Thomas Jack Lead 2018 For The Love Line-up

The boutique festival hits Melbourne waterside amphitheatre Riva in February.

Electronic music extraordinaires Hayden James and Thomas Jack have been announced as the headliners for boutique event For The Love 2018.

Taking place at Melbourne's waterside amphitheatre of Riva this coming February, the eight-hour party returns with a stacked line-up that also includes the likes of Touch Sensitive, Airling, Dom Dolla, London Topaz, Lastlings, Piero and more.

The event will feature a heavy focus on fashion and lifestyle — being partially backed by clothing label Nana Judy — and a stunning setting to take in the afternoon and evening's musical offerings.

"For The Love is all about polished music, trending fashion and positive lifestyle while honouring the fine line between keeping the event capacity at a size where guests and musicians can experience a more intimate setting, yet still being large and visually stunning enough to create those ‘wow’ moments," For The Love co-director Ben Tucker said in a statement.

It's an ethos the global party has proudly adhered to previously — this year's event attracted the likes of Flight Facilities and Duke Dumont on the bill, not to mention its A-list guest attendees — and it looks like For The Love is setting itself up as a supremely distinct way for punters to keep early 2018 rolling along on a high note.

For The Love 2018 will be held at Riva on 17 February from 2pm to 10pm.
