Considering Nile Rodgers and Melvins had already been announced as headliners, it's safe to say expectations were high for this year's bill — and festival organisers have exceeded them. As always, this year's event features a BYO policy, the world famous Meredith Gift, and Meredith's famous "No Dickheads" policy; it'll also feature the following artists:

500 fewer tickets will be sold this year than usual. Keeping things simple, only one type of ticket is available — three days and two nights, including camping and parking, for $309 + $10 booking fee.
The ticket ballot for existing subscribers will be drawn today; newcomers can still enter the second ballot, which will be drawn in a week's time.
