Final Line up Announcement

	Fat Freddy's Drop Thousands of loyal Freddy's fans worldwide have watched them systematically reshape NZ's independent music industry. The Drop's debut studio album was the first independently-distributed album to reach No.1 and remains the highest-selling album by a national artist ever! We finally get the chance to see them live at Homegrown.
	Kora Powerhouse funk-rock collective Kora combine Sly and the Family Stone, Prince and Faith No More into one band. They will follow up their 35,000-plus selling debut with a new album later this year, which means fresh tunes alongside Kora classics at Homegrown. They will pack out the Dub & Roots stage so make sure you get there nice and early.
	Six60 Six60 are now one of the hottest acts in the country with their unique fusion of roots, reggae, hip hop, dubstep and drum & bass. Finalists in 3 categories in the 2012 Vodafone New Zealand Music awards including 'Single of the Year' for 'Rise Up 2.0'. At last years Homegrown they had a packed house singing and jumping, so get there fast.
	The Black Seeds In 10-years, The Black Seeds have earned their reputation as purveyors of authentic Aotearoa roots music. It's on festival stages however that The Black Seeds come into their own, with a skankingly good eight-piece live show that has moved crowds around the world. We're stoked they'll be bringing their funky grooves back to Homegrown again.
	Sola Rosa From a humble, self-released one man project to a decidedly deadly live collective, Sola Rosa have grown from a national treasure into an act of truly international repute. Hot off the back of tours of Europe and Asia, Sola Rosa are veterans of the live performance, presenting a soundscape that offer the best of hip hop, reggae, jazz, latin, soul and funk.
	1814 Reggae group 1814 have enjoyed national success with their debut album 'Jah Rydem' reaching Number 1 on the NZ indie charts and their single 'Jah Rastafari' making it to Number 15 on the NZ top 40. Consummate crowd pleasers, 1814 will start the day and are geared up to get you in the mood for an amazing Homegrown.
	Sunshine Sound System The Sunshine Sound System boys have been at the last 4 Homegrown festivals as they are such nice guys and always pull out a killer set that gets the crowd reared up and ready to party! Comprised of the legendary DJ Downtown Brown and MC's KPz and Stauny, they are an act you should not miss
