Wine Machine Announces SA Lineup And National Tickets Onsale Date

Hot Dub's spectacle Wine Machine returns home to South Australia in December this year, hosting their third annual, wine-cheese-hug-fuelled evening of live music and celebrations at Penny's Hill in MacLaren Vale with a wineup that focuses in on inclusivity; bringing women to the front of the crowd and the stage.

Set in the unsurpassable luscious wine country of McLaren Vale at Penny's Hill Winery (just 10 minutes from Aldinga beach), Wine Machine once again offers the opportunity for the people of Adelaide to venture south into the country's wine heartland for a day of feasting. Capturing the essence of the region, Wine Machine again promises to offer the finest fare with local produce to the forefront...we aren't just talking about the food and wine either...

Overseeing the proceedings, your master of ceremonies as always will be international festival sensation Hot Dub Time Machine, who'll be bringing his time entangling, party starting antics once again to the grapevines of South Australia. Introducing the guitars will be indie-rock legends San Cisco, and dance floor starters Confidence Man will have wine-enthusiasts dancing their rosé's away. Rounding out the day we welcome the incredible Jack River who will be fresh off the back of her stellar album and sold out national tour. Getting us started will be the incredible Kira Puru, Kinder and and many more.

"We're very excited to return to the birthplace of Wine Machine in the mighty McLaren Vale, SA with our most exciting wineup to date! This year's bill is strongly dominated by the ladies which I'm very happy about considering females already account for the majority of our audience and crew." - Tom Loud, Co-founder and owner of Hot Dub Wine Machine.

With the announce of the South Australian lineup today, organisers are thrilled to let the rest of the country know that tickets for all other 5 national locations go on sale this Wednesday with the announce of the wineup to come. Having sold 55,000 tickets earlier this year, Wine Machine has proven itself to be the outlier in the festival market with its all Australian bill in the lush surrounds of some of the worlds finest vineyards.
