The line-up for the brand new Dark Mofo festival has been revealed and it looks like it will be a mammoth event encompassing all sorts of intriguing artistic endeavours and, of course, a massive amount of great music.
Big Aussie acts like The Presets, You Am I, The Drones and Jeff Lang stand alongside quality international acts like Boris, Mono and Martha Wainwright and artists like Alfredo Jaar and Mathieu Briand.
The events that make up the festival sound enthralling in themselves; Mick Thomas' tales of Tasmanian convict history, the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra performing a live soundtrack to Fantasia and Satanalia, merely described as "a big day of darkness".
It looks like it will be an enriching experience for anyone who takes the trip to Hobart when the festival happens from Thursday 13 June to Sunday 23.
If you can't afford the trip, there is still some hope for you as the festival is giving away 1000 flights to Hobart so from around the country can experience the event. We'd like to go on the record as saying we want those flights please.
