Hilltop Hoods on festival line-up

Australian hip hop kings Hilltop Hoods are set to headline the inaugural North West Festival in Port Hedland later this year.

Hilltop Hoods recently announced a national tour on the back of their platinum-selling album Drinking From the Sun, and will stop in at Port Hedland to unleash their acclaimed brand of Aussie hip hop.

The group are promising hits from the new album, including I Love It, Rattling the Keys to the Kingdom and new single Speaking in Tongues, as well as some old favourites for the fans.

The festival, to be held at the McGregor Street Reserve on August 18, is set to kick off at 2pm and will feature a string of artists to be announced in coming weeks.

The one-day festival will also include camping facilities in the ticket price.

Tickets go on sale through moshtix at 9am on May 10. For more information, visit www.northwestfestival.com.au.
