South Gippsland drawcard event, The Hills Are Alive, celebrates 10 years in 2017 and the organisers have grouped together a great line up of artists to mark the occasion and bring punters good times next March.
The Farm is hosting the likes of BOAT SHOW, Ziggy Ramo, Timberwolf, Alex the Astronaut and more this year, and as co-producer Aidan McLaren has explained of The Hills Are Alive, the festival has continued to come more into its own as well as reflecting their core ethics surrounding the event.
“We’d spend the whole year going to out to 3-4 gigs a week, arriving early, watching all the supports and then inviting the bands we loved to come and play on the Hill. For us it didn’t matter if there were five people or five-hundred people there. If we loved the music and the show and thought the Hills community would love it, we’d invite them to play.”
Keeping things relatively intimate – as far as festivals go – The Hills Are Alive only sell 2,500 tickets to the event, a pass that includes free camping through the whole event and the option for BYO alcohol. Check out the line up below!
