Following a decade away from touring, Basement Jaxx are set to bring a bigger than life production to the stage, with banger after banger of hits including ‘Where’s Your Head At’, ‘Romeo’ and ‘Red Alert’. It brings the princes of London underground, Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, back to the top.

The deep pocketed lineup dips into all oceans with Marlon Williams heading across the Tasman with The Yarra Benders and Ngā Mātai Pūrua, Norwegian duo Smerz slide in with their latest album Big city life, and Brooklyn-based Water From You Eyes will whirlpool in with It’s A Beautiful Place. ‘Lights and Music’ makers Cut Copy will slice the Saturday in half with a euphoric set of club classics.

The lineup also offers up Jalen Ngonda, Ty Segall, Afro-beats extraordinaire Obongjayar, François K (Live Stems), Frost Children, Djrum, Bleak Squad, Nourished by Time, Crazy P (DJ), This Is Lorelei, OK Williams, and Upchuck.

You also have tastemaker and talent-oozer, Kee’ahn along with Georgia Knight, Paquita Gordon, Becca Hatch, Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek, Sidney Phillips, Public Figures and a glorious session of Storytelling with Uncle Barry.

The legal adult is bold and in bloom! Maintaining their entirely independent structure, Golden Plains continues to be at the forefront of community-centred curation. The second round of the ballot system for ticketing is open until Monday 20 October at 10:18pm AEDT.
