“Council is proud to continue its support of this popular event, which brings so many people to the area, introducing them to our stunning area while boosting the local economy and supporting local businesses.
“This year’s line-up is looking amazing. What an incredible opportunity for our community, family, friends and visitors to experience world-class music under the stars this September and October.”
Event organisers and major event partners are ensuring Night at The Barracks is environmentally sustainable, from reusable aluminium cups and merchandise made from 100 per cent recycled materials to waste management and powering the site from 100 per cent renewable energy.
In addition, ticket holders will be encouraged to use public transport and there will be bike racks on site to encourage visitors to cycle to the event.
