The evening headline slots over the three days belong to a stunning line up of artists including Three Houses Down, Kinetic, Naram, Sunshine Soundsystem, The Black Seeds, State Of Mind, Third 3ye, Killamanraro, and The Nudge.
However the festival final line-up features many more international and local artists such as Sticky Fingers, State of Mind, Tiki Taane, Deadly Hunta, Trinity Roots, Stickybuds, Herman Saiz, Bobby Alu, Cornerstone Roots, Weird Together, and Anna Coddington, to name a few.
The festival officially ends on Sunday at 3.00pm with The Nudge who will bring their swampy blues tones and magical psychedelic ambience to the Soundsplash crowd. Following the festival there will be an After Party at Yot Club from 5pm to 1am.
