Melbourne singer-songwriter Lior will also be returning in duo format with the internationally renowned musician Paul Grabowsky.  Adding to that classical flavour are guitar legends, The Grigoryan Brothers, who are teaming up with multi-instrumentalist Adam Page. Also gracing our stages will be Australian legend Archie Roach and his band as well as Sydney’s The Backsliders who are making a long awaited return.

Heading up the 17 international acts are Harry Manx (Can), Steve Poltz (Can), While & Matthews (UK) and Braebach (Scot).  Also adding a distinctive Bluegrass flavour for 2018 are Peter Rowan Band (US),Nashville’s 10 String Symphony, Flats and Sharps (UK) and Brothers Comatose (US).
