The Lost Lands festival, which will be held at Werribee Park later this year, has announced a musical line-up that will include Tim Finn, You Am I, Kate Miller-Heidke and Claire Bowditch.
The annual festival, which includes music, art, installations, food, circus acts, comedy, wine and children’s entertainment, will be held on November 3 and 4.
The event, described as a festival for the “whole family”, will also feature music from The Jungle Giants, The Tesky Brothers, Boo Seeka, All Our Exes Live In Texas, Baker Boy, Jess Locke and Amaru Tribe.
Festival founder Simon Daly said organisers were also aiming for the event to become a single-use plastic bag free event by next year and were hoping to achieve a 95 per cent reduction in single-use plastic bag use this year.
“The Lost Lands is an event focused on family and fun,” Mr Daly said.
“With that comes a responsibility to pass on environmentally-aware values and actions on to our young ones.
“This move will set a benchmark for how festivals can run successfully, whilst minimising their footprint.”
Recyclable waste bags will be supplied to campers.
Mr Daly said organisers aimed to “inspire a celebration of creativity”.
“It’s important that The Lost Lands supports and celebrates all forms of diversity in the music scene, ensuring the next generation of Australians are exposed to a variety of musical talent,” he said.
