Play on the Plains will turn Deniliquin's famous ute muster site into a chilled music festival featuring top Australian Indie artists.
The all-ages inaugural festival will be headlined by Fremantle's own four-piece indie pop group San Cisco, alongside five other artists and bands including Spacey Jane, Ruby Fields, WAAX, Benny Walker and Taylah King.
The event will be held in line with COVID-19 guidelines on March 7, with tickets on sale from 10am today.
Play on the Plains' General Manager Vicky Lowry said the festival was a "long term vision" of theirs.
"Play On The Plains will bring a new young genre of music to Deniliquin to be added to the long list of International and Australian artists to have graced our great stage," she said.
"[The festival] will of course be complying with all COVID guidelines in place so tickets will be limited and fans should get in quick when they go on sale today to avoid disappointment."
With gates opening at 12 noon, licensed bars, food vans and free, on-site parking, Play on the Plains will be fully cashless with RFID wristbands and top-up stations on site and the opportunity for online top-ups prior to the event. Once the festival is over, attendees can retrieve their unused funds online.
Tickets are $100 plus booking fee, with children under 13 free. Local bus company, Dyson Group, will be operating charter buses to and from Echuca/Moama, Mathoura, Hay, Cobram, Baroonga, Tocumwal and Finley as well as a shuttle service to and from Deniliquin Town Centre.
