The bill also includes Sydney-based alt-punk hip hop act Shady Nasty, who will be performing tracks from their latest release, Trek, and rising alt-folk rockers Bones & Jones, who are making a name for themselves after the release of their new record In Colour.
Throw in emerging punk rockers Xiao Xiao, who are bringing their rauakwas brand of East Coast noise to Adelaide for the very first time alongside prog-rock-rap trio Deluna, performing live for the very first time, and you’ve got one hell of a lineup. But wait, there’s more!
Throwing a light on local talent, Future Sounds’ is rounded out by Adelaide's surf-psych-reggae duo Witch Hunt, femme punk noise behemoths Babyteeth and post-hardcore favourites FREEGOLF. Local DJs will keep the tunes pumping in between sets.
