TV On The Radio, Atarashii Gakko! and Perfume Genius lead stellar December bill.
Meredith Music Festival has unveiled its lineup for the 33rd edition this December.
The independent festival returns to the Supernatural Amphitheatre from 5-7 December with an eclectic mix of international headliners and emerging talent. Meredith Music Festival continues its reputation for curating genre-defying lineups, bringing together art-rock legends TV On The Radio, Japanese sensation Atarashii Gakko! and acclaimed songwriter Perfume Genius as major drawcards for the three-day event.
TV On The Radio will make their debut at the festival, bringing their influential art-rock sound that emerged from Brooklyn’s underground scene in the 2000s. The band’s anthems including Wolf Like Me and Staring At The Sun have defined alternative music for over two decades. Meredith Music Festival also welcomes Japan’s Atarashii Gakko!, whose hyperkinetic performances blend j-pop with acidcore and butoh theatre, creating something entirely unique for Australian audiences.

Meredith’s ticket allocation operates through a ballot system designed to distribute access equitably, with the second round closing on 19 August.
