PEATS RIDGE 2012 3rd LINEUP ANOUNCEMENT!:
Posted December 8 2012
With the Festival fast approaching we thought it was about time to drop our third and final musical artist release, and boy it's a humdinger. As well as that we've got some top news on the beer front with Coopers on tap across all our high dispense bars at the Festival!
With over 90 acts joining you this New Years, we've stuck to our commitment of not only bringing you the top shelf of well known acts but also the Cream of Australia's up and coming talent. As well as this we're also releasing the full lineup for the Dub Shack and Pirates Lair.
Festival Director, Matt Grant says there’s a whole smorgasbord of great acts for patrons to keep a watchful eye on. “If you’ve never seen a full brass band dropping hip-hop beats then make sure you check out the Hi-Tops Brass Band. I’d also urge everyone to check out the heavy rhythms of Svelt, nothing sets a mood like a bit of jungle dub hip-hop, these boys first played Peats several years back as a renegade act on Biffo’s Blow Up Bonanza and they’ve been a favourite of mine ever since”.

PEATS RIDGE 2012 MASSIVE ARTS ANOUNCEMENT!:
Posted November 29 2012
The past few weeks have been super colourful in the Peats office, we've been working day and night to finalise our massive arts lineup. In 2012, we are proud to bring you our biggest Arts lineup to date, combining your favourites whilst adding some amazing new arts features to this years roster. Here’s some more reasons to skip the long lines to bars and clubs this New Years Eve.
If you like your art edgy and interactive its a must to check out the The Night Odditorium! Brought to you by The Pork Collective, The Night Odditorium is a curatorial project that leaves space for individual creative responses and collaboration. A twisted neo-carny festival in itself, The Night Odditorium puts elements of the sideshow genre through a bent filter to create immersive theatrical worlds where both the audience and the performers are given permission to act and think differently.

PEATS 1ST MUSIC ANNOUNCED:
Posted August 3 2012
The latest from the Peats Ridge festival organisers:
Things are hotting up over here at Peats HQ. Yesterday we announced the first instalment of our lineup for 2012 and the reaction has been off the hook!
We are super excited about a selection of artists that is eclectic and unexpected and it seems we are not the only ones!
We've had some fantastic reviews and comments, more of that later, but for now let's have a look at some of those artists. The band you've all been waiting for, the John Butler Trio, will be headlining the coveted NYE Midnight Set.
Triple J caught up with JB yesterday during a special about Peats Ridge on the Drive Time show with The Doctor to hear his thoughts and he was stoked! "We can't wait to finally get to play at Peats Ridge as part of what's looking like a great line up." he said.
Festival Director, Matt Grant said. "We're over the moon to have John join us at Peats, he's by far the most requested artist from our audience and energetically and musically he is the perfect fit for the vibe of the Festival. To have him count in New Years for us is going to be wicked!"
It's a date that has been a long time coming, so by the time John takes to the stage you can bet the atmosphere at the Festival will be utterly electric!
