Secret Garden Reveals First Ten Artists from 2016 Music Lineup
A sneaky peek into Sydney's notoriously 'under lock and key' lineup.
Start coordinating your crew's dress-ups — one of Australia's best and most beloved festivals, Secret Garden Festival, is back for another year. Returning to the festival's hallowed and not-so-secret-anymore location outside of Sydney, Secret Garden is celebrating its eighth year over February 26 and 27. And now, with just 17 days to go, the team have revealed the first 10 of the 50+ artists on their music lineup.
While the full lineup, as SG tradition goes, will remain under lock and key until the festival sells out, the crew have given a sneak peek into what to expect. Melbourne's Grammy-nominated neo-soul powerhouse Haitus Kaiyote will be there alongside Sydney's synthy dance duke Hayden James, the unstoppable hip hop/R&B force that is Sampa The Great, Adelaide raw garage outfit Bad // Dreems, absolute Australian party legends Stereogamus, Sydney art pop wunderkind Montaigne, smooth electronic hardworker Roland Tings, Sydney super duo The Meeting Tree, alt-pop ten-piece Dorsal Fins and the fast-climbing World Champion.
