Everything you need to know about A Day On The Green

No summer season would be the same without some frolicking at A Day on the Green; the music extravaganza that hosts the very best in big-name artists.

Since its inception on Australia Day in 2001, the event has fast become one of the countries most successful and well-regarded outdoor concerts.

With some of the shows already underway, we thought it was high time we delved deeper into the line-up. Scroll down as we fill you in on everything you need to know about the 2017/16 season.
