On October 15 Springfest, the festival which celebrates up-and-coming local acts, will return to Hinton’s Victoria Hotel.
“We're celebrating these thriving local live music scenes by rounding up a handful of them and putting them all in the same place at the same time, at our grass roots music festival in Hinton,” organisers wrote online.
Headlining the festival will be Newcastle’s tropical-indie kings, The Treehouse Children. They will also be joined by Maitland indie-rockers Arcades and Lions.
Also on the Springfest II line-up: Red Slim, Midnight Movers, Auxfire, Swamp to Sahara, Lennie Tranter And The Bagism Revelation, Jones The Cat, Maple Moths, Ben Bradly, In Motion and Stephanie Grace.
Tickets for Springfest II, which cost $25 each, are available at facebook.com/SpringfestII.
