Headliners Icehouse will showcase their Great Southern Land 2022 Concert Series to music lovers as part of the experience, in celebration of the hit’s 40 year anniversary which has become a summer anthem since debuting at number 5 on 1982’s Australian Singles Chart.

Aria Hall of Fame’s James Reyne, famous for his hit track ‘Boys Light Up’, will also be putting on a show alongside power rock duo Killing Heidi, who dominated Triple J’s Hottest 100 in the early 00s.

James Reyne will perform at the Royal Hobart Botanical Gardens for By the C festival in 2022.

Apart from a stellar line-up of artists the festival will boast food trucks and pop-up bars by Hobart’s waterfront.

The event’s announcement comes after Premier Peter Gutwein advised Public Health would be reviewing restrictions for dancing and those standing with a drink.

Tickets to By the C will go on sale on Saturday November 20 via ticketmaster.com.au
