Triple j has announced the set times for its 40th anniversary concert Beat The Drum, taking place during Sydney Festival next week.

There’s only one stage at this event, so need to worry about hopping about.

At 4:40pm Ball Park Music will kick off the festival, followed by Vance Joy at 5:30pm and everybody’s new darlings, The Preatures, at 6:20pm.

After that it’ll be You Am I at 7:10pm, The Cat Empire at 8:10pm, The Presets at 9:10pm, with the Hilltop Hoods, at 10:10pm, capping off the night.

The rest of the billed artists – the likes of Briggs, Daniel Johns, Gotye, Illy, Megan Washingston, Sarah Blasko, Thundamentals and Tkay Maidza, among others – will make short and special guest appearances. Nina Las Vegas and KLP will be doing DJ sets throughout as well.

Beat The Drum takes place on Friday January 16 at The Domain. For more information, visitabc.net.au/triplej/events/beatthedrum/concert/
