WHEN DO TICKETS GO ON SALE?
There is no more fitting a headliner for Here Comes The Sun 2024 than Australia’s beloved psychedelic-surf-rockers, Ocean Alley. For the last decade they have sold out shows across Australia, North America, Europe, UK, and New Zealand – headlining to over 75,000 people globally in 2023 alone – including spots at Splendour In The Grass, Reading & Leeds (UK), and BottleRock (USA). The winner of 2018's Hottest 100 for their anthem 'Confidence' (now certified quadruple-platinum!), Ocean Alley released their epic fourth album 'Low Altitude Living' last year – captivating audiences with their psychedelic beauty. Citing their love for the ocean as their biggest inspiration, could there be a more apt musical accompaniment to Australia's best surfing competitions? We think not!

Melancholic masters Ball Park Music are one of Australia's most successful acts – producing six incredible albums in nine years (five of which debuted in the ARIA Top 10). Festival veterans, the beloved Brisbane five-piece have made sold-out appearances at Summer Sounds and Neck Of The Woods (to name but two) as well as recently joining icon Paul Kelly's Making Gravy concert series.

When Ruby Fields' aptly-titled debut album 'Been Doin' It For A Bit' debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts, it confirmed that Australia absolutely loves the silky-voiced singer-songwriter. Shortly after, the world followed suit. One of the most talented and emotionally-moving artists in the country, Ruby Fields switches from a haunting solo delivery to a cyclonic full-band attack in the blink of an eye.

The image of Jack Botts surfing at sunset is one of the most perfect depictions of his aura as a human. His debut album 'Sucker For Sunsets' is a genre-bending masterpiece that delves deep into his soul – displaying personal lyrics that run the gamut from pain to elation. Laid-back and blissfully breezy, his music is summer incarnate; filled with the highs, lows and inbetweens of real life.

WA's five-piece indie/reggae band South Summit are the perfect soundtrack to summer on the coast. Melding the diverse sounds of Aboriginal, Māori and Western culture; South Summit have taken off since forming during lockdown – surpassing over two million streams, earning a nomination for Triple J Unearthed ‘Artist Of The Year’, and impressing crowds at Groovin The Moo, Falls, and Rolling Sets.
SOUTH SUMMIT
Clews are one of the most exciting new artists in Australia – fronted by the sibling power of Lily and Grace Richardson, whose love for '90s anthems shows in their incredible songwriting and lush dual vocals. Amassing fans all over the globe, Clews are well on their way to becoming a festival staple – wielding grungey melodic power that sits somewhere between PJ Harvey and Warpaint.
