In addition to the aforementioned lineup, there’ll be a battle of the bands competition for young musicians in the local area. Play on the Plains will also feature licensed bars and food vans, beach volleyball, silent disco and more. There’ll be on-site camping available for those who want to make a weekend of it.

“We are thrilled to be back for our third year, adding to and growing the event with camping on site and a Battle of the Bands,” the festival’s general manager, Vicky Lowry, said in a statement. “Play on the Plains was created for a younger audience through to families, bringing them all together to experience the best of our young Australian talent. Come and Play and Stay On The Plains!”

Mauboy and King Stingray recently shared a stage at the inaugural First & Forever, a “celebration of Blak excellence” that took place at Hanging Rock in Victoria in November. King Stingray released their debut, self-titled album last year after previewing it with the singles ‘Hey Wanhaka’, ‘Get Me Out’, ‘Milkumana’ and ‘Camp Dog’.

Northeast Party House, meanwhile, released latest album Shelf Life back in 2020. Last November, they returned with the single ‘Cranky Boy’, the band’s first new music in over two years. Last year saw Lahey release a pair of singles, ‘Congratulations’ and ‘Shit Talkin”, both of which are expected to be on the singer-songwriter’s next release.
