The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra, Claude Hay Added To Peak Festival Line-Up

The festival is just two months away

More artists have been named for the upcoming Peak Festival, with Melbourne-based collective The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra among the new acts confirmed for the winter event.

The hip hop, roots and Afro-beat ensemble will be joined by singer-songwriter Claude Hay, but he won't be riding solo - his new band Claude Hay & The Gentle Enemies will perform at the event. They recently announced their first run of live headline shows.

Local jazz and swing muso Jordan C Thomas and teenage singer Vendulka have also been added to the bill, which includes the previously announced The Herd, The Little Stevies, Glenn Cardier and Shellie Morris. Relive the first two announcements below:
