Psych Fest has gained a reputation as one of the nations most enthralling boutique music festivals, championing all things fuzzed out, hazy and delayed.
After the roaring and reverberating success of 2017’s installment of the festival, 2018 is here boasting a slew of international and local favourites set to take the stage. Topping off the roster of incredible acts will be the USA’s Flavor Crystals and Italy’s New Candy’s who’ll be playing in Australia for the very first time.
With the success of huge acts like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Tame Impala, there’s no hiding Australia has a burgeoning thirst and talent for delay-drenched tunes and fuzzed out tracks – Psych Fest will be a massive celebration of this awesome musical community.
