The Shack is Playground Weekender’s dive bar sanctuary for lovers of rockabilly, 50’s grunge and blues – the perfect festival location to dance, brood and pash – and today festival organisers announced the line up of locals gracing The Shack’s ramshackle stage. Artists include super handsome folk crooner Andrew Morris, fantastic indie upstarts Fait Accompli and the gorgeous Lanie Lane among others.
If Blues, 50’s grunge, country, folk, pop, rockabilly, swing, vintage and classic hits sounds like your thing The Shack is the destination for you. If that is not your thing you are a robot and you must be destroyed.
