There is no word yet on who’ll be gracing the lineup for 2020, but there’s certainly a lot to live up to if last year's instalment, seeing fans entertained by the likes of Ocean Alley, Illy, Tones and I, Briggs and Alex The Astronaut, is anything to go by.

While the line-up is still under wraps, there’ll be a diverse range of genres from hip hop, through to rock and indie, with the all-star headlining acts featuring a number of times in previous triple j Hottest 100 countdowns, including the best songs of the decade! It’s set to be a huge day and tickets are sure to be snapped up quicker than ever.

"In response to the COVID-19 virus and the Federal Government’s ban on public gatherings, and in these unpredictable times, we want fans, music lovers and festival goers to have something to look forward to. As such, if it is safe and approved to do so, Land of Plenty will go ahead on Saturday 31st October and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to Shepparton for a day of music, dancing and fun times. For now let’s do everything we can to stay safe, look after each other and help each other through these challenging times. Keep on washing your hands, turn up the music and don’t forget to keep grooving, dancing and smiling (while social distancing)”.
