After successfully announcing the return of Sprung Festival last week, punters can now quench thier long awaited thirst for an all hip hop music festival…Australian nonetheless. Announced on triple j, Sprung showcased the premier crop of hip hop talent in Australia from 2011 but unfortunately decided to close its gates in 2013. Returning in 2017 organisers have released General Admission and VIP tickets after selling out pre-sale in record time.
Featuring 2012 headliner ILLY, as well as 2013 festival newcomer turned megastar ALLDAY, along with critically acclaimed A.B. ORIGINAL, international break out star TKAY MAIDZA, and ARIA Award Nominees and Aussie hip-hop favourites SPIT SYNDICATE (+ HEAPS more) the line-up for SPRUNG Festival 2017 is a collection of Australia’s most exciting and diverse voices.
SPRUNG Festival continues its tradition of creating a platform for new and upcoming acts to take the stage, as well as reflecting the new sounds coming out of Hip Hop in Australia. No longer just spitting rhymes over a beat track, SPRUNG Festival is excited to showcase artists diversifying the genre, such as JESSWAR, CAMOUFLAGE ROSE, CAITI BAKER, and MIDAS.GOLD, and bringing elements of electronic, funk, soul, RnB, blues, gospel, and even rock N roll to the mix.
Plucking artists from all corners of the country, SPRUNG Festival is the one and only premier Hip Hop Festival in Australia showcasing this exceptional calibre of artists in one location.
