Located in the Glenworth Valley an hour north of Sydney, the family-friendly camping festival happens from December 29 to January 1.
Last year’s event, headlined by Gotye, Xavier Rudd and Stanton Warriors, drew 10,000 patrons per day.
Festival Director Matt Grant said the promoters of the event are excited at the diverse lineup this year.
“You have the festival king in John Butler, but then we have great new experimental sounds, like the one man orchestra from France, Chapelier Fou.”
General tickets go on sale at 10am Monday 20 August at www.peatsridgefestival.com.au at $340 for adult season passes.
