After dropping their first line-up announcement in December (which included REMI, The Aints and Butterfingers), Hunter Valley festival The Gum Ball has added more musical treats to the 27-29 April event.
The new additions include British indie legends The Cribs, soul-funksters The Bamboos, kings of organ rock Rocket Science, French-Canadian psych-rock band Les Hôtesses d’Hilaire (which translates as The Hosts of Humour) and one of Australia's hidden songwriting gems Ben Salter.
Other acts headed to The Gum Ball in 2018 include The Resignators, Thunder Fox, V Tribe, Letters to Lions, Baghead, Hana& Jessie-Lee, Dave Wells, Nicholas Connors, Lennie Tranter & The Bagism Revelation and Dashville Progress Society.
Early Bird tickets sold out in record time for 2018. Standard tickets and discount bundles are now selling and available via The Gum Ball website.
