Sydney’s only live-in festival, The Great Escape, is back for another cracking Easter in 2007!!

The rolling hills and historic bunkers of the Newington Armory, a riverfront haven in Sydney’s Olympic Park, will again host a jam-packed Easter long weekend of music, camping and heaps more!

The Great Escape brings the long tradition of live-in festivals like Glastonbury, Coachella and The Falls to the heart of Sydney. An easy 20 minutes from the city, The Great Escape features stacks of leading international and Aussie acts over three non-stop days and nights.

So this Easter, ditch your rellies, grab your mates, nab a tent, pack your car and make your great escape!

Lineup:
Wolfmother, Gomez, The Living End, Hilltop Hoods, Missy Higgins, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Feist, Ziggy Marley, Ben Kweller, Lee Scratch Perry, Bob Evans, The Vines, Fishbone, The Fumes… and more still to be announced!!
