Camping festival favourite Playground Weekender have added a second wave of acts to their impressive lineup including locals Lunars, Paper Scissors, Cat Call, who will be joining the likes of Boy and Bear, Neon Indian, and the Black Lips.
The news is bittersweet however as organisers have also broken to sad news that previously announce headliner Fat Freddy’s Drop has been forced to pull out of the festival along with Modeselektor. According to FasterLouder, organisers hope to replace the headliners as soon as possible and are “waiting on a couple of juicy acts to sign on the dotted line” before they can announce them.
They aren’t the only changes being made to the festival. Promoters announced to fans in August that they would be moving from mid-February to early March to help combat the extreme heat experienced by patrons in earlier years. You can see the lineup so far below.
