Bakar, Broods and Chet Faker lead the huge festival lineup for the October festival.
It may still be months away but organisers of Wollongong’s two-day party Yours & Owls have been busying themselves getting plans in place for the festival’s 2023 edition, announcing a wildly exciting lineup to help the festival christen their new all-weather home for the next three years, The University of Wollongong.
Having only just announced its 2023 dates last month, revealing its new home and the new date of October 14 & 15th, 2023, Yours & Owls Festival is keeping up the hype, delivering a damn fine lineup, welcoming international artists back for the first time since 2020!
The festival will be headed up by the likes of Platinum-selling, Helpmann and multiple ARIA Award-winning Chet Faker, Aotearoa’s introspective ethereal pop duo Broods, SAFIA, Vera Blue, Hip-Hop royalty Hilltop Hoods, and genre-bending British artist Bakar.
