Apart from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, who announced their participation via facebook recently, Australia’s biggest touring festival will return with RHCP and The Killers leading a huge lineup that includes  Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sleigh Bells,Vampire Weekend, Foals, Band Of Horses, Animal Collective along with the much feted (and deservedly so!!) Alabama Shakes.
