Clubs across the League have recruited a star-studded list of festival headliners and up and coming musicians to perform across various matches for this summer’s KFC BBL|12 tournament, which kicked off December 13 and runs through to February 4, 2023.
The list of artists set to perform across the tournament includes festival headliners such as Peking Duk, The Temper Trap, Ball Park Music, Sneaky Sound System and Northeast Party House as well as some of Australia’s fastest rising musicians in Sycco, Memphis LK, KLP, Kinder and Stace Cadet.
