Darwin is set to host the first music festival in Australia since COVID-19 restrictions hit, with high-profile artists including former INXS and Noiseworks singer Jon Stevens, Daryl Braithwaite and Shannon Noll tipped to perform.

Titled Reset 2020, the festival is set to take place on July 24 at the Darwin Ski Club, just days after the Territory’s borders are tipped to reopen.

The announcement was made this morning on Mix 104.9 radio which is sponsoring the event.

Stevens is set to perform his INXS and Noiseworks collection, while Braithwaite’s cult classic Horses is sure to be a hit with punters.

Noll’s hit songs including What About Me, Shine, Drive and Lift are also set to be popular additions to the festival.

Most details surrounding the festival are set to be announced later this week.
