Australia’s most successful Indigenous outfit, Yothu Yindi, will headline the event, bringing their fusion of traditional music and performance with contemporary rock to the main stage.

Local songstress and Darwin fave, Caiti Baker, will also take to the stage with her unique contemporary take on urban inspire indie soul.
Adrian Eagle rounds out the line-up, ready to bring his energy and feel-good anthem A.O.K to the Top End.
