Along with a massive arts spread to keep your grey matter happy
Boutique festival Strawberry Fields has rounded out the roster of artists set to hit the banks of the Murray River for the annual outdoor orgy of music and arts in November, with Berlin buzz act Max Graef and accomplished Parisian performer FKJ (aka French Kiwi Juice) joining the bill this morning.
Beloved Aussie electronic outfit Seekae are also heading along to the event in place of their Future Classic label-mate Charles Murdoch, offering up a DJ set to fill the void left by the latter when he was forced to withdraw due to scheduling conflicts, while a bunch of new presenting crews get their name up in lights including include: DANCE TECHNIQUE (presenting Post Percy, Harold & Thomas Touche), House Of Mince (presenting Discodromo), Sunshine People (presenting Skatebård, Ben Fester & Donald), The Foreign Brothers (presenting the CoreTet & guests, Laneous, So.Crates Sound System, DJ Hussey, Danny OSX and J Love) and Soul A Go Go featuring DJ Manchild & Miss Goldie.
The folks at the festival have also dropped a huge local line-up, including 6AM At The Garage, Black Cat, Blue Shift, BOSCO, Bryce Lawrence, Chant Down Sound, Citipower, Dan Bentley, Dan White, Dance Party and many more.
If you find yourself at a loss for musical curiosities at any stage, though, there's a big ol' visual arts component to keep you occupied, including work from newly announced additions The Pier Group, best known for their work as sculptors for cult yearly mecca Burning Man, as well as Barcelona-based street artist OKUDA and Melburnian multimedia wizards ENESS. Read up about the arts offerings here to get across the spread in advance.

Strawberry Fields will be held outside of Tocumwal from 17-20 November; final-round tickets are on sale now and, given that early-bird, first- and second-round passes all sold out, if you've left it this long, you'll not want to leave it much, if any, longer. Head this way to secure your pass.
