Now in its 8th year, the Peats Ridge Festival seems to be getting bigger and bigger. World renowned as one of the leading sustainability events, "Peats" is one of the must do NYE events on most of Australian bucket lists. A gathering for all things eclectic, the event creates a environment like no other.

Hitting Australia next week, we catch up with Mongolia's folk rock collective Hanggai.

With the always phenomenal Peats Ridge Festival (held over New Years Eve just an hour or so north of Sydney) just around the corner (hard to believe, no?), Larry Heath caught up with Festival Director Matt Grant to chat about the event, the lineup and more...

How do you feel the line up has shaped together so far?

All the action from the Hyde Park Palm Stage and Martin Place at Sydney Festival's First Night.
