Cue the drum roll and loud gasps here, as I’m about to do the unthinkable and compare two of the most opposite music festivals in Australia. You may ask how I came to this predicament? Well, I was just thinking about the fact that the lineup for Soundwave is going to be revealed soon, and how excited I am to find out which bands will be rocking the stages next year.

Like it’s fellow Aussie counterpart Parklife recently did, Stereosonic has announced its lineup for its 2012 shows in December. This year’s summer event is sure to yet again kick arse and get the ravers of Australia losing their shit to the beat when the DJs they know and love spin that vinyl like crazy.
2011 had mixed outcomes for Australian music festivals with many favourites reporting their best attendance yet, while others cancelled or had poor turnouts. Soundwave, Spendour, Groovin’ The Moo, Laneway, Peats Ridge, Future Music, Tamworth Country Music Festival and Meredith Music all reported positive growth.
Q. You just got your hands on a hot festival ticket promising fun, debauchery and mayhem. All is good until you get there and realize that you have no cash, just an ATM card – in a place that has NO ATMs. Whoops! What do you do?
