Peats Ridge Festival 2012

Overview

You could spend one hour trying to get a cab to some party where you might be able to hear some fireworks, or you could spend it heading up to the beautiful Glenworth Valley for Peats Ridge.

This year Sydney’s alternative to a New Years spent in the city is hardcore delivering on their promise to be all about the vibes. The (huge) musical lineup will be headlined by John Butler Trio, who are pretty much Peats Ridge in the form of three musically-adept men. Other acts sure to get the vibes flourishing include NZ’s Unknown Mortal Orchestra, our own Deep Sea Arcade, techno guy Luke Slater and Friendly Fires in DJ mode.

On the arts side there’s a new theatre, a trippy Derivan Art Tunnel, an actual circus complete with trapeze artists and a slew of interactive installations. Have your eyes and ears wowed, put your bottles in the bins provided and don’t forget to meet at 6pm for the infamous New Years Eve Fancy Dress Masquerade Party.
