You & Me Fest Drops The Line-Up For Its First Mega New Year’s Festival

It’s been a rough run for Australian music festivals these last few years, with beloved industry staples being axed such as Falls Festival, Groovin the Moo, Bluesfest and most recently Fridayz Live.

But newcomer You & Me Fest is looking to turn this around, with a music, camping, and arts festival set to help ring in the new year in Bunbury (Goomburrup), in Western Australia’s South West.

Scheduled across 29 December to 31 December, You & Me Fest has a line-up tailored to the taste of Aussie noughties babies, with American rapper Soulja Boy headlining next to local acts such as Ra Ra Viper, Dear Sunday and DICE.

You & Me Fest will mark Soulja Boy’s first foray to Australia, and he is expected to play fan-favourite tracks such as Crank That (Soulja Boy) and Kiss Me Thru The Phone.

Joining Soulja in our reminiscence of noughties club classics, Aussie pop royalty The Veronicas will also be taking to the stage with iconic scream-along anthems like Untouched.

It’s seemingly impossible to pick standouts from this line-up, which includes Golden Features, Ruel, Hayden James, and Middle Kids – and the festival’s organisers say more artists are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

You & Me Fest also promises a variety of other activities to get around, such as teasing art installations and performers, market stalls, tattoos, carnival rides, and much more. 

Well, we think that sorts our plans for New Year’s! What do you say? You? Me? You & Me Fest?

You & Me Fest runs from Sunday, 29 December 2024 – Wednesday, 1 January 2025, at Hay Park in Kaniyang Country, Bunbury (Goomburrup), WA.

General ticket sales begin at 8 AM AWST on Thursday, September 26, with early access available the day before. The festival's website has more information and the full lineup.
