And the crowd has spoken ... at STONE Music Festival their aim is to create the best possible experience for their fans. They've listened to your feedback and it is apparent there is a strong demand for "Reserved Seats" in the Platinum Zone so we will now be allocating ticketholders in the "Platinum" zone their own numbered "Reserved Seat". For fans who purchased their Platinum 2 Day or 1 Day tickets early, they'll now find themselves with quite literally the best seats in the house.

Arena Zone ticketholders will also have the freedom to either sit in the stands or venture down on to the Stadium floor.

They're also delighted to be welcoming some of Australia's finest young independent artists on board, giving them the opportunity to perform on the same stage as some of the biggest acts in the world. Kicking things off on Saturday's instalment of STONE Music Festival are Atlantis Awaits, My So Called Life and The Art while Sunday sees MusicOz Awards 2012 Winner, Stone Parade, set to get the party started.

Each year the best independent musicians in Australia are recognised for their talents and contribution to Australia's amazing music culture at the MusicOz Awards. Stone Parade have been finalists over many years and won the 2012 Best Rock Act Award. STONE Music Festival are proud to not only provide a spot for this awesome rock band, but have the 2010 Artist of the Year, Dallas Frasca, also on the bill.
