Listen Out fans slammed the festival on Tuesday for it’s ‘mediocre’ line-up and expensive tickets which start at $190 for general admission.

Festivalgoers flocked to Instagram as the music fest announced its 2024 line-up which boasts 21 Savage, Skepta, Lil Tjay and Tyla as the Hip Hop headliners. 

Flo Milli, Jessie Reyez, Teezo Touchdown and Lithe will also take to the stage, with the electronic genre being represented by John Summit and Sub Focus. 

‘How do the prices keep going up but the lineups keep getting worse?’ one disgruntled festivalgoer wrote.

Another said: ‘Wow could this be any worse? Skepta is the only good act and his festival sets are historically mediocre.

‘Aus festivals clearly have no pull anymore but continue to charge through the roof. Guess all the basic ahh people will love that you got John summit.’

A disappointed follower added: ‘Is that it for the hip hop lineup?’

‘Ain’t nobody listening to 21 savage man,’ one person said of the number one headliner act.
