After sweeping up Sandstone Point and Newcastle in a storm of party starter acts, colossal headliners and top-notch party vibes earlier this year, THIS THAT is returning to both venues. THIS THAT is the biggest festival ever held at Sandstone Point Hotel and organisers are poised to do it all again. The event touches down at its sunny, water-side second home of Sandstone Point Hotel, QLD on Saturday 29 October before kick ons in Newcastle NSW on Saturday 5 November. Today, the team behind THIS THAT can finally unveil the colossal lineup of local and global talents who will be hitting the iconic THIS stage, THAT stage and the THE OTHER stage. 

Good news, fam! Borders are open and international acts are back. This year, THIS THAT is rolling out the red carpet for none other than HipHop titan Earl Sweatshirt. Punters are warned to brace themselves for explosive beats and powerful bars as the USA rapper throws down classics and newbies from his new album SICK! Closing out both events, it’s wheels up for Flight Facilities! The dynamic duo will be cruising into THIS THAT to share their expansive electronic sounds and breathtaking light show. Keen to share the love around, festival organisers have pulled an almighty headliner swap. After closing THIS THAT Newcastle with a bang earlier this year, What So Not is returning home from the UK to exclusively treat Sandstone Point to his face-melting, earth shattering set. Meanwhile, past-Sandstone point headliners and Aussie electronic legends, The Presets, will be showing Newcastle how it’s done. Offering up just a ‘Regular Touch’ of rousing sing-alongs and heartfelt ballads is none other than Vera Blue. Craving a boogie? It’s a darn good thing that the genre-blending geniuses of Winston Surfshirt have shimmied their way on to the lineup. Exclusive to Newcastle is everyone’s favourite trio, and honourary Brits, DMA’S, while Lady Jesus herself – America’s almighty UPSAHL has the ‘Time of Her Life’ in both locations.
