Indie music seems to be everywhere these days. It used to be obscure music only hipsters listened to, but now it’s crept into the mainstream in a big way (which kinda contradicts how it’s supposed to be independent, or “indie”).
Though tix for the glorious Homebake Music, Film, Comedy and Arts Festival has been on sale since August, believe it or not there’s still tickets left! Crazy, right?! It’s even more weird it hasn’t completely sold out considering this year Homebake has a “global edition” lineup rather than purely an Australasian lineup of skippy and kiwi musos.
The seventh annual Golden Plains festival out in the bush (i.e. just outside the town of Meridith) will soon be happening again, and have just announced their 2013 lineup. With all the festivals happening on the Labor Day long weekend in March, Golden Plains is unique is that it’s completely about the music, as there is no corporate sponsorship whatsoever and
New Year’s Day is an awesome day for everyone: it’s the very start of a new year and everyone gets to start a new year’s resolution they hope to go through with. Sydneysiders in particular get to have a freckin’ grouse day at the Field Day, a one day music festival just for the city on the harbour. There’s a lot of music festivals happening in the summer, but Field Day gets the whole year pumping straight away!
The end of November means the end of spring and the start of summer, and Victorians get to complete this transition in musical style. That’s right, the Queenscliff Music Festival is on again for its 16th year, and it just simply looks grouse! With multiple stages and being surrounded by nature for days, you just can’t go wrong.
Aussie ravers will be pretty stoked with the news of the awesome lineup for the 2013 Future Music Festival that’s just been announced. With artists who created some of the world’s most intense yet dancable music, you know you can more than get your groove on while feeling fucking pumped!
The folks at Triple J are once again bringing us all into the new year with the Pyramid Rock Festival in Phillip Island. Named after Pyramid Rock which is a basalt rock formation just offshore from where the festival’s happening, you may be disappointed if you expect an actual pyramid to be there (I recommend either Egypt or Guatemala for the real deal).
Give 2013 a massive welcome and stuff yourself with a huge international line-up at Melbourne’s Let them Eat Cake. You can already feel Melbourne’s laneways and streets heating up for a huge summer New Year’s party. If you’re not already in the loop about this one, we’ve got the deets here! Rest assured the team at Let them Eat Cake has gone the extra mile to create the best 2013 party.
Hardcore heavy metal fans may look like a rough bunch who have no qualms about getting into punch ons, headbang others around them (causing them concussions) or just pushing and shoving in the moshpit. These people could easily have been called bastards (probably worse names actually) at some point or another. Well, these types of heavy
Though it’s still a month away and none of us live in America, Halloween is fast approaching, so do you want a trick or a treat? I recommend Melbourne and Brisbane’s trick-or-treaters pick going to the Creepshow Halloween Festival; it’ll be a way better treat than any of your
