Prior to the Get Out Of My Fridge album launch, Fat Picnic released their music video for single I Don't Wanna Get Up.
The clip features Fat Picnic's broad colour palette and chaotic shenanigans paired with an optimistic party groove, signature catchy hooks and horn riffs. It might be a peak into Fat Picnic's crazy alternate reality universe, but it's only a small taste of the sounds featured on the brand new album Get Out Of My Fridge.
Cholesterol too high? TIME FOR SOME SKADIO!

—HOPE DEE—
Hailing from Brisbane, alt pop-rock artist Hope D began writing and playing music at the early age of 9 years old. The second she turned 18 she began incessantly hitting the stages across the city, growing her live performances into an infectious and compelling mix of free flowing lyrics and layered acoustic guitar riffs.
Now with passionate 4-piece band behind her, Hope D’s shows have become more engaging and energetic than ever. They hit the ground running earlier in May this year with their debut single release “Swim”, which caught the attention of triple j unearthed, triple j, Spotify, and a wash of new fans across Australia.

Our aim is to create nothing short of a life changing, transformative experience!

Nestled amongst the surrounding mountains in the Byron Bay hinterland, this diverse community of just over 3000 people has embraced this very different type of music event. The last decade has seen more than 600 world-class artists and thousands of people make their way to the festival, not bad for a little festival that started on the night of the electrical storm of the decade.
Over the past decade Mullum Music Festival has evolved into one of the most successful boutique festivals in the country, proving small isn't just beautiful, it's also economically & environmental sustainable.
No gates. No big headlines. No VIP areas. Basically a ‘No hassle’ festival. A festival where artists and performers mingle, where shows are held in halls, clubs and pubs rather than tents, and instead of driving hours to park in a field and trudge on site, patrons become enmeshed in the spirit of a vibrant village.
The town’s array of boutique performance spaces, cafés, parks, buses and streets are filled with some of the world’s finest international musicians alongside the regions incredibly diverse and talented artists.
