Although larger music festivals have quickly become an endangered species in Australia, the smaller ones are alive and kicking like nothing else. Yours & Owls is one of them. This year’s festival has just announced its first details, revealing that it is set to take place on during the long weekend of October 1st and 2nd at Stuart Park, North Wollongong.
While the lineup is still to be confirmed on June 14th, we can start clearing out schedules for the journey to Wollongong – if last year’s line up is anything to go by (Gang of Youths, Delta Riggs, The Preatures, Smith Street Band, Saskwatch and more), in addition to the news that the venue has expanded the festival space to allow for a second stage – it’s safe to say that we can only assume this year’s will be bigger and better than ever.
At a time where the larger events are closing their doors more and more often, it’s great to see smaller events popping up in their absence – especially when these smaller events continue to grow each year, and when they feature stellar Australian acts.
Watch the trailer for the festival below and stand by for the lineup announcement on June 14th.
Tickets will be on sale on June 20th.
