Tyler, The Creator To Headline New Brisbane Festival Wildlands

With the teams behind Victoria’s Beyond The Valley and Perth’s Origin Fields at the helm of new Aussie festival Wildlands, the line-up was always going to be packed with international and local talent, and today’s artist reveal delivers.

Hitting Brisbane Showgrounds on December 28, the inaugural event will feature a headline set from Tyler, The Creator, who will bring his acclaimed new LP Igor along for the ride, while RÜFÜS DU SOL, Ella Mai, Mallrat, RL Grime and stacks more have also been confirmed.

Here’s the full line-up:

Tyler, The Creator, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Ella Mai, Green Velvet, Jauz, Mallrat, RL Grime, Skepta, What So Not, 16 Bit Lolitas, Big Words, Claptone, Dom Dolla, Gunna, Hobo Johnson & The Lovemakers, Jordan Brando, Lastlings, Lion Babe, Made In Paris, Shoreline Mafia, Willaris K

When announcing the festival back in June, Origin Fields’ Saran Bajaj said: Being able to curate a broader musical programme with our partners at BTV has been one of the most enjoyable booking experiences I’ve personally have ever had. 

“With the strengths of the two festivals, I feel, that we will be able to create an event that is unique to Brisbane as Beyond The Valley is unique to Melbourne and Origin is to Perth.”

Back in 2015, Tyler, The Creator claimed via Twitter that he had been “banned” from entering Australia, apparently due to a petition by feminist activist group Collective Shout.

Shortly after, the tour was cancelled, with Tyler stating: "We would much rather come to Australia when it isn't surrounded in controversy. I love my fans there and hopefully I'll be back soon.”

The Music has reached out to the Department of Home Affairs for comment.
