Organisers were now being inundated with requests from bands to play at the Festival.
The bill included Dirty Three, and this next clip gives a small insight into how phenomenal this performance was. It goes for ten minutes but it’s worth watching the whole thing, mainly because it’s amazing live music, but also for some headbanging stage invaders and Warren Ellis’s interaction with them.

Also on the bill: Magic Dirt, Spiderbait, Powder Monkeys, Fireballs and The Fauves to name a few.
Anyone who witnessed the Dirty Three’s soaring sonic emotions swirling around among the giant Ghost Gums or the Powder Monkeys seemingly never-ending incendiary rock workout at 3 in the morning got their money’s worth. RIP Tim Hemensley.
This was another wild year on stage, where the bands on the LineUp all seemed to form a perfect ‘set’.
