As The Gum Ball quickly approaches its first ever sold-out event, the Dashville-based event’s “quaint yet sinister sister event”, PigSty In July, is gearing up for its latest instalment.

The festival is set to return to the well-trodden Hunter Valley venue of Dashville on Saturday, 2nd July and organisers are promising something special for its fourth iteration.

Having sold out three years in a row, the ‘second hand formal’-themed winter party is hoping to have its biggest year in 2016 with the perfect mix of “fine food, boutique beverages, live music, and warm fires”.

If you happen to be attending The Gum Ball this year, you’re in luck, the 2016 lineup and pre-sale tickets for PigSty In July will be released at the merch tent on opening day on 22nd April.

“This year we’ll be changing things up a little, slightly bigger stages, more food, more beer, more wine, more bands, and somehow… more fun,” says event organiser Magpie Johnston.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, 26th April via the Dashville website or pigstyinjuly.com.au.
