Hunx & His Punx Replace Vic Simms At Boogie 8

With the eighth edition of Victoria's Boogie festival under a month away, the festival was added two more internationals to the bill.

Loose garage/'60s rockers Hunx & His Punx and Shannon & The Clams have both been drafted in as Vic Simms & Halfway Allstars have been forced to withdraw.

According to organisers, “Several personal issues have arisen that make the trip impossible at this time.”

Hunx and Shannon announced their own Australian dates earlier this month.

That leaves the line-up as:

Gary Clark Jr., Pond, Jason Isbell, Vic Hunx & His Punx, Chris Russell's Chicken Walk, The Frowning Clouds, Shannon & The Clams Lindi Ortega, Bed Wettin' Bad Boys, Machine Translations, Bloods, Saint Jude, Batpiss, The Mastersons, Teeth & Tongue, The Creases, Mustered Courage, Tift Merritt, Bad//Dreems, Warmth Crashes In, Day Ravies, The Bottles Of Confidence, The Ocean Party, Luke Legs & The Midnight Specials, Stella Angelico, Boxwars

Boogie 8 will take place one again at Bruzzy's Farm in Tallarook, Victoria from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 April. Tickets are available now.
