Golden Plains 2017 kicked things off in a big way last month after announcing the dates and ticketing ballot for next year, as well as a massive and altogether legendary headliner in the form of Split Enz and Crowded House icon Neil Finn.

Now, punters gathered in the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre underneath the full moon will also be treated to a performance from UK music veterans The Specials, one of the most revered and pioneering bands in the genre of 2-Tone ska.

The annual Golden Plains ticketing ballot is also still open. You can check below for all the dates and ticketing details and feel free to get really excited about one of the biggest dates on the annual Aussie festival calendar.

The Ballot for Golden Plains XI is open until 10pm Monday, 17th October, so make sure you act fast. As for the event, organisers are promising the same Golden Plains you know and love with a few improvements like a new sound system, new campground, new foods, and “new kids under 12 free”.
