The Sugar Mountain Festival line-up has been revealed! We loooove it.
Since 2011, an ever-growing mound of sweet treats has been accumulating. A mass of delicious chocolates, succulent lollies and mind-boggingly fizzy drinks, it's one so indulgent, you feel you best stay away before it lures you into a life of bad health and rotten teeth.
But alas, it's not that deceivingly bittersweet forest you're envisioning. In fact, it's actually quite good for you to consume, as it's none other than the Sugar Mountain Festival!
Celebrating diversity within our artistic range, Sugar Mountain constructs a line-up consisting of musicians and visual artists, curated by the Australian superheroes behind labels and collectives To and Fro Family, Two Bright Lakes, Wing + Gill and Pete Keen.
Since buddying up with music entertainment and publishing syndicate Mushroom Group in 2013, the powerheads of Sugar Mountain have been hard at work for the past 18 months, and are now finally ready and able to involve the festival audience with their grand vision for the event's 2015 return.
