Pigsty In July has announced their first group of artists.

The little sister of The Gum Ball and Dashville Skyline is a one-day bush bash with a second-hand formal dress code.

This year’s festival will be headlined by New Zealand rockers Shihad, who are currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 1996 self-titled album. Fans can expect a set of old and new tunes, as Shihad slot tracks from recent record FVEY amongst their live classics.

Also featured on the first lineup announcement are King Tide, Masco Sound System, Lepers and Crooks, Justin Ngariki & the Darstardly Bastards and Claire Anne Taylor.

As well as great tunes, the event also provides a feast of quality boutique beers, fine wines, naughty cocktails and mouth-watering food.

Pigsty In July will take over Dashville in the Hunter Valley on Saturday July 2. Tickets go on sale Friday April 22 through Dashville.
