As we do each year, we proudly hold a coveted spot on our amazing line up for our Breakthrough to Blues ‘n’ Roots competition. Local, unsigned bands are encouraged to submit an application through Sonicbids, where a handful of chosen bands will have the chance to battle it out for the final spot on the bill!

We had HEAPS of entries and the calibre was amazing. Needless to say it was a hard task narrowing it down to three finalists. And it was even tougher for our judges to determine the winner on Wednesday 21st March. The competition was tight between Spoonful of Sugar, Morgan Bain and The Seals, however we’re pleased to announce that The Seals will be opening up the festival proceedings.

CONGRATS!
