Will Sparks, Hot Dub Time Machine & More Join Vanfest 2016 Line-up

The regional event is just around the corner

More Will Sparks Will Sparks

New South Wales regional music festival Vanfest has announced even more acts to this year’s line-up and confirmed some cool extra on-site activities.

Melbourne producer and Australia’s 2014 #1 DJ, Will Sparks, leads the latest additions, along with bona fide party starter Hot Dub Time Machine, buzz Sydney deep-house and techno crafters Set Mo, funk and ‘dirty roots’ outfit ManaLion, psych-reggae darlings Ocean Alley, one of Australia’s most soulful voices and multi-instrumentalists Morgan Bain, and the country rock sounds of the Jane Martin Band.

The seven additions will join a bustling Aussie line-up featuring Angus & Julia Stone, The Rubens, Xavier Rudd, Drapht, Dead Letter Circus, Vera Blue, and more.

As well as a killer roster, festival-goers can enjoy carnival rides, wine tasting, team sports, market stalls, and extreme activities including Australia’s biggest inflatable water slide!

According to organisers the weather is set to be perfect and warm, so all those choosing to camp (or glamp!) should be able to fully enjoy their communal common areas, luxury amenity installations, games room, and of course the festival’s live music relatively mud-free. Just remember to slip-slop-slap!

Vanfest 2016 is proudly presented by The Music, and will run from 25-26 November in the NSW town of Forbes.
