Opiuo, Beardyman and Luke Redford join #SxRTD2016 lineup

Rocking the Daisies, in partnership with Superbalist, has announced three more international acts set to take place at the annual four-day festival at Cloof Wine Estate, Darling, from 6-9 October 2016.

The lineup for the Electronic Dome adds Australian-based act, Opiuo.

Multi-vocalist and musician, Beardyman, will be beat boxing and live looping his way onto the Main Stage. An innovative performer, Beardyman has ceaselessly pushed the boundaries of what the human voice can deliver.

Hailing from Switzerland, Luke Redford will join the Caribbean Twist Beach Bar lineup. Finding the sweet spot between deep house, techno and electronica, Redford’s musical journey is all about collecting music from all over the world and arranging it to a dense mix of soundscapes, noises patterns and melodies.
