A handful of acts have been added to the lineup for the 33rd Meredith Music Festival, which returns to Wadawurrung Country in Victoria from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 December.
Chet Faker leads the second lineup announcement, along with US hip hop veteran Oddisee, and Chapter Music founder and pop aesthete Guy Blackman. Ninajirachi will cap off a banner year with a set in the Supernatural Amphitheatre on the festival’s opening night.
June Jones also joins the Meredith lineup, teed up for a Saturday arvo slot on the back of her new EP, the electronic pop release Would that it were a fortress. Power pop outfit The Prize will also perform on the Saturday, while indie rock quintet Rhysics will bring the festival to a close after the Meredith Gift on Sunday afternoon.
TV on the Radio are the 2025 Meredith headliners. Indie darling Perfume Genius is also the bill, and so are Daptone ensemble Thee Sacred Souls, Coventry rapper Pa Salieu, J-pop group Atarashii Gakko!, London alt-rockers Bar Italia, Canadian alt-pop songwriter Saya Grey, and Detroit pop singer Sam Austins.
Local acts on the lineup include psych-jazz crew Mildlife, harmonising threesome Folk Bitch Trio, Kaytetye DJ and producer RONA., indie outfit Radio Free Alice, Yolngu Balearica musician Drifting Clouds, Vancouver-based, former Sydneysider Jack J, and Men At Work’s Colin Hay.
There are a bunch of dance acts on the bill, including Wax’o Paradiso, HAAi, footwork originator RP Boo, and Syrian wedding singer Omar Souleyman. Find the complete lineup below.
