Australian bands British India and The Preatures will perform at the Rolling Stones' Hanging Rock show.

Both bands are prominent in the Australian music scene and pride temselves on taking the retro rock sound and giving it a modern twist.

"When you're in the rock business like we are, The Rolling Stones make up a massive part of the musical landscape before you've even picked up a guitar," British India's Declan Melia said.

"They're one of the very few bands all four of us truly love and their music has sound-tracked our career since we started."

British India have just return from Berlin where it was writing and recording its fifith album.

Sydney band The Preatures have had strong performances at Glastonbury, Splendour in the Grass annd Coachella as well as preparing to release its debut album in September.

The Rolling Stones announced in April it would play at Hanging Rock in November after postponing their Australian tour in March.

The postponement came after Mick Jagger's girlfriend, celebrity fashion designer L'Wren Scott took her own life in New York.

The Hanging Rock Show takes place on Saturday, November 8.
