Staff Writer

Beaches will also perform at the event

More Urthboy Urthboy

The Coopers Amp Australia Day event Shortlisted! is just around the corner and today we know a few more artists who will be involved.

Hosting the day will be Tim Levinson aka Urthboy and singer-songwriter Ella Hooper, while Melbourne psych-rock outfit Beaches have been confirmed to perform at the event. The band are one of the longlisted acts in the running for this year's $30,000 Coopers Amp prize with their album She Beats.

Last year's prize winners Hermitude are headlining the gig, with Dialectrix and Jen Cloher - also in the running this year - set to perform as well. The shortlist acts will be announced at the free event, held at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Sunday 26 January.

In other Coopers Amp news, fans can win the chance to go to a house party with one of the shortlisted bands of their choice - with free Coopers beer flowing of course! Go to the AMP's Facebook page to enter.
