Playing their first Australian shows in three years are experimental New Yorkers TV On The Radio who meld post-punk, soul and elements of psychedelic free jazz to incredible effect. With their new album, Nine Types of Light, released earlier this year, the band are making headlines and wowing fans all over again.

Also joining are awe-inspiring, mountainous Scottish post-rockers Mogwai. Artful indie pop sensations Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will also be here hot on the back of the September release of their 3rd LP, Hysterical.

Bringing a touch of the Dylanesque troubadour to Harvest is Kevin Devine. Devine is almost unique amongst his contemporary singer songwriters in his genius ability to display his heart on his sleeve without ever coming across as disingenuous or cynical. “When he sings about love, faith, and other weighty subjects in that sweetly tender way, you just want to give him an encouraging noogie” (Spin Magazine, a publication not known for “encouraging noogies”)

Last but not least, Harvest is pleased to announce the addition of Australian organic electronica wunderkinds Seekae. The band have been making waves in 2011 with the release of their brilliant second album +Dome, and have just sold out their biggest headline shows to date in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Today’s bands join the previously announced gathering of the planet’s most outstanding and unique artists and performers
