Fairgrounds Festival

The picturesque township of Berry, NSW is set to come alive with a diverse mix of local and international artists, when the country's newest festival, Fairgrounds, hits the South Coast on Saturday 5 December, 2015.

Fairgrounds will be an adventure for the senses. Artisan food, an array of boutique beverages, markets, movies and music all converge in a melting pot of awe-inspiring activities – in one of Australia's most breathtaking regions.

The Festival's line-up strides the worlds of folk, indie rock, soul and everything in between. Pray at the altar of LA-based crooner Father John Misty as he brings his confessional lyricism to the stage, proving why he's hailed as one of today's best songwriters.

Brooklyn electronic duo RATATAT will bring their acclaimed live show to Berry, combining bedrock beats and primordial riffs to create an audio and visual feast of sonic exploration and production prowess.

Dream pop veterans Mercury Rev will be celebrating their twenty sixth anniversary with favourites from their classic catalogue and brand new songs.

Informed by the folk-rock of ages past, singer songwriter Jessica Pratt's heartfelt guitar melodies and warm, soulful voice will captivate with her absorbing, melancholy-tinged songs, while San Francisco indie funk outfit Unknown Mortal Orchestra's intoxicating cloud of psych-soul ballads will envelope their fans.

Representing Sydney on the bill is internationally acclaimed garage pop outfit, Royal Headache. Expect an adrenaline shot of melodic energy and heart-on-sleeve romanticism from these rockers. From the Northern Territory comes the intoxicating rock -n' gospel dancehall blues of C.W. Stoneking, whose electric lilt and drawl is set to mesmerise.

And that's just the beginning; more acts are set to be announced.
