True to it’s name Rollercoaster is a wild ride this year with plenty of dance floor action and fun acts through the day as it rolls into a glorious high energy rock and roll love-in to close out the big day.

There will also be a major line up additionally announced on December 1.

So Rollercoaster 4 is back with an awesome line up in its majestic location with its greatest line up to date. Part music festival - part barbeque - part party but 100% Australian summer fun. Where super sounds mix with the sun, the salt and the sea!

All the way from the United States of America we have two of the most decorated groove-makers on this floating round ball they call Planet Earth: the sizzling Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings and saucey Santogold.

We’re blessed Blue King Brown could make it back for the big weekend, and they’ve brought countrymen and hip hop renegades Bliss N Eso along for the journey.

We’re chuffed some of our British cousins have saddled up for the ride; meet The Cribs and Late Of The Pier.

And while we’re getting all European there’s Lykke Li from Sweden. There’s Murs and South Rakkas Crew fighting for the microphone; they’re all the way from the USA.

There’re CW Stoneking and Ash Grunwald strumming around the campfire, and it’s wonderful to see the Kiwi kin are represented with Cut Off Your Hands.

And here comes the conga-line, with Grafton Primary, Tame Impala, Dash And Will, Violent Soho, Drapht and The Autumn Isles.

And finally there’s End Of Fashion.

These latest Southbounders join Franz Ferdinand, The Hives, The Kooks, The Cat Empire, Gomez, Pete Murray, Tegan And Sara, The Grates, Architecture In Helsinki, Donavon Frankenreiter, Atmosphere featuring Brother Ali, Faker, Birds Of Tokyo, Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed And The True Loves, Jamie Lidell, Liam Finn, Karnivool, The Drones, TZU, Mystery Jets, Soko, A-Trak and Wolf & Cub in the New Year feast that is Southbound.
