Ballarat shoegaze outfit Blue Vedder made a heavy impact in 2022, winning a spot on the Spilt Milk lineup thanks to Triple J Unearthed.
Other Ballarat locals playing at the festival included DJ duo Sweet Dreams, who had a set at 2.50pm and Gangz.
It seems most were happy to be out again at a music festival - sunburn be damned.
The temperature peaked at 28.5C at 7.30pm.
Punters were making beer snakes out of empty drink cups - with the bar paying a dollar for each empty handed back.
Cowboy hats and loud sunnies were must have fashion accessories and shade was a valuable thing to have. The biggest complaints overheard were about the shade and the long lines to get free water.
Punters could pay $5 for a bottle of water otherwise.
The night closed out with an electric performance by Australian DJ Flume.
