The crater lakes of Mount Gambier are taking Melbourne's underground music scene out of the big smoke to create an all natural open air festival. As Melbourne continues to flock to the woods for the best in musical experiences, this inaugural festival is out there to join the ranks to bridge the gap between rural youth and their city counterparts.

The line up includes Redcoats, Boy + Girl, Dozers, Teen Archer, Wolfie & the Bat Cubs, Jumpin' Jack William, Learn the Splits, Dancing Heals, Guests of Ghosts, Ross de Chene Hurricanes, Neil Wilkinson, Lucy Roleff, James Kane (DJ set), Simon Fire (DJ set) and Post Percy (DJ set) with more to be announced.
