"A reduced capacity means patrons will enjoy less queuing for food, drinks, toilets and enjoy a more intimate experience with the performers," Self said. "It is all about the experience and making the most of a fabulous, central, waterside location. With two evenings of fabulous music, food and entertainment, festival goers get to enjoy it all at an affordable price and still sleep in a comfortable bed.”
The date should align with the coming of warmer weather and is the first weekend following University exams. It's a great time to celebrate and Princes Wharf Shed 1 right on Salamanca is the perfect location. This way we have the best of both worlds, central location and protection from bad weather."
The full line-up announcement will drop Monday 13 August.
