Getting set to perform at Sugar Mountain Festival in Melbourne next month, and Golden Plains later in the year, is Jarrod Quarrell under his Lost Animal moniker.

How have things been in the Lost Animal camp this year? What has the act been up to lately?

The 21st Meredith Music Festival is now sold out. Demand for tickets was as strong, if not stronger, than ever. Ballot sales closed Tuesday 30 August. Store sales sold out on the morning of Thursday September 1. There were people camping out overnight in front of some of the stores.

Online sales happened today Friday 2 September and took less than 30 minutes to sell through the allocation.
