Staff Writer

HUGE!

More The Shins The Shins

Beloved NSW event Fairgrounds Festival has produced one of its biggest and best line-ups to date, including international stars The Shins and Future Islands alongside local favourites Jen Cloher, Hockey Dad and more.

Returning to the picturesque surrounds of Berry from 8-9 December, the family friendly event two hours out of Sydney will also feature a swimming pool, markets, epic food and drink and more.

Here's the 2017 line-up:

Aldous Harding, Client Liaison, DD Dumbo, Future Islands, Hockey Dad, Holly Throsby, Japanese Breakfast, Jen Cloher, Jess Locke, Leah Senior, Marlon Williams, Noname, Press Club, The Shins, Shogun (Royal Headache), Spiral Stairs (Pavement), The Teskey Brothers, You Am I

“As it stands, Fairgrounds is an excellent experience, a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable gig removed from the modern maximalist mindset,” said The Music's Matt MacMaster of last year’s event.

Tickets go on sale next Tuesday, August 22, and you can find more info via the festival’s website.
