Big names abound in this year's line-up, with Peking Duk, John Butler Trio, Rudimental and Birds of Tokyo all set to grace the VanFest stage.

Former Charles Sturt University student Matt Boylan-Smith will also perform, and said audiences could expect a "much bigger, more ambitious sound".

This weekend Matt will be backed by three of his childhood friends: Chris Sherley on lead and backing vocals, Max Simmons on bass and backing vocals and Sam Reid on drums.

"This is the first time we've performed in this formation, which I'm excited to show fans," Matt said.

"It's... great to be part of such a great line-up in a rural area and shows that there is a demand for these types of events outside of the main city," Matt said.

While tickets will be available at the door, organiser Grant Clifton encouraged everyone to organise tickets and accommodation as soon as possible.
