Local legends Angus & Julia Stone and Cloud Control have been announced to lead the live entertainment lineup at this year’s Australian Open of Surfing on the stunning Manly beachfront.

Cloud Control couldn’t be a better fit for the event, which each year combines feats on the surfboard with featured performances from some of the best acts in the country. They’ll headline on Friday March 4, supported by Mansionair, and continuing a resurgence of live tour dates from the band already in 2016.

The Northern Beaches sibling duo, Angus & Julia Stone, will arrive on Saturday March 5, performing a set in front of legions of friends and family. Kita Alexander will warm the stage. Both the Cloud Control and Angus & Julia Stone gigs will be followed by DJ sets from renowned party-starters Didier and Jesabel.

The 2016 Australian Open of Surfing takes over Manly Beach from Saturday February 27 – Sunday March 6.
