Yours and Owls 2022 — CANCELLED

Overview

Update Tuesday, March 29: Yours and Owls has been cancelled due to the continual wet weather causing the grounds to be unusable. You'll find all the details in our news story and the festival's statement.

When Wollongong's Yours and Owls last took place back in April 2021, it hailed a couple of huge pandemic-era milestones. Firstly, because of lockdowns and restrictions, it was the first major music festival that New South Wales had seen in over a year. Secondly, it was the first to allow dancing. Now Yours and Owls is coming back for an even bigger, staggeringly impressive local lineup.

Topping the bill for 2022: Hilltop Hoods, Benee, Bliss & Eso, Flight Facilities, The Jungle Giants, Peking Duk and Violent Soho, giving festival-goers a huge genre-swapping mix of big-name acts. And yes, Benee will be making the trip from New Zealand, thanks to international border restrictions easing.

The hefty lineup goes on, including Faker, Ruby Fields, San Cisco, The Meanies, Sycco and more. Check out the full lineup after the jump.

Yours and Owls is also moving to a bigger site, too — both in terms of space, and being able to accommodate more people.

If you've forgotten how to dance over the last couple of years, you can refresh your moves with San Cisco's video for 'Messages' below.
