Vanfest, the regional festival returning to the New South Wales town of Forbes in December, has added two big names to its 2015 lineup.

UK four-piece Rudimental, making their way Down Under for a run of headlining shows as well as support slots for megastar Ed Sheeran, have been locked in to perform at a special evening event on Friday December 4, the night before the one-day festival kicks off proper.

The mini-festival on Vanfest eve will also feature Aussie dance trendsetters Peking Duk, who hit the heights with their singles ‘Take Me Over’ and ‘High’, and production talent Kilter.

Vanfest itself already boasts a huge lineup of acts including headliners John Butler Trio, Birds Of Tokyo, Illy, Sticky Fingers, Sheppard and more.

Vanfest takes over Forbes on Saturday December 5. The Friday night tickets for Rudimental, Peking Duk and Kilter go on sale Tuesday September 22.
