Meredith lineup additions and notable changes
The Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir, initially scheduled to perform, can no longer make the trip. However, the final additions to the Meredith set times include several fresh names that reinforce the festival’s eclectic nature.
Maple Glider
Known for emotionally resonant and woozy romantic songs, Maple Glider will perform on Saturday. Tori Zietsch’s velvety vocals paired with acoustic guitar and piano create an intimate atmosphere, perfect for the Amphitheatre’s unique setting.
Cool Sounds
Dainis Lacey and his band will bring polished hooks and summery grooves to the Sunday lineup. Their blend of indie rock, ‘80s pop, and alt-country is sure to delight fans looking for something light and upbeat.
Don Glori
Melbourne-born and now London-based, Don Glori (an anagram of Gordon Li) offers a mix of jazz, funk, samba, and soul. His Sunday performance before The Gift promises music that’s equally at home on the dance floor or a relaxed afternoon.
Hot Tubs Time Machine
Hot Tubs Time Machine’s quirky blend of minimal bass, 808 beats, and humorous lyrics will close out Sunday with their unique energy. Expect anecdotes and odes to Melbourne landmarks alongside captivating beats.
