And, in case you've been living under a rock, one of the finest Australian film clips in recent memory…

This is just the first announcement, with over 40 bands set to perform across five stages at the event when it hits the recently revamped Jubilee Hotel on Saturday 13 July. As usual, punters are strongly encouraged to dress up in their most evil fancy dress to make sure the vibe is just right.

Grab your tickets through OzTix from Wednesday morning.
