The line-up for Soulfest — billed as Australia's first annual neo-soul, jazz and hip hop festival — has been unveiled.
The bill features nine international artists with an astonishing 52 combined Grammy nominations. Over 20 live acts and DJs will be featured across two stages, and there'll reportedly be no scheduling conflicts, allowing ticket holders to view every artist on the bill.
Soulfest will also feature an expansive array of cuisine, with Eat Street serving as the central food hub and featuring authentic New Orleans soul food and pop-up eateries. There'll also be an official Chili Cook-Off, which will naturally be judged by festival punters.
