Next Saturday I will be giving up my day to lead a team of 10 volunteers at the Brisbane music festival Sounds of Spring. Pretty cool, huh?
I’ll be starting early in the morning and going until midnight, but it will be worth it. Acts such as Little Birdy, I Heart Hiroshima, The Living End, Tim Rogers, Hungry Kids of Hungary, The Beautiful Girls, Drawn From Bees, Shihad… and stacks more. Shall be fun seeing what goes down there behind the scenes. Rad!
A few days ago the 2009 dates for the music festival tour Parklife were released by Sydney events company Fuzzy. Hurrah!
So the dates for this winning festival are:
You can find more info on each on and their retrospective Facebook event pages (of course) here. As far as the acts are concerned; there has been some comment around the place that Canadian electro duo MSTRKRFT and the UK’s Lady Sovereign will be touring. I’ll report back with an official list when it arises.
Also, if you’re a Sydney student looking to get some hours up on your degree, why not apply for a Parklife Internship? There are roles available in event management, PR, marketing, touring, HR and production. I would apply immediately, but I’m neither in Sydney or a student. Shame! You’d best hurry along though; applications are due this coming Monday, 25th of May.
Well, well.. it’s that time of year again and I’m hearing through the Intertubes that many people aren’t so happy about the final line up just announced:
Bloc Party – The Flaming Lips – Jane’s Addiction – MGMT – Hilltop Hoods – Grinspoon – Mignight Juggernauts – The Specials – Augie March – Sarah Blasko – Friendly Fires – White Lies – Little Birdy – Josh Pyke – The Gutter Twins – Birds of Tokyo – Manchester Orchestra – Decoder Ring – Lost Valentinos – Bob Evans – Yuksek – Kram – Yves Klein Blue – Leader Cheetah – Jack Ladder – The Middle East – Polaroid Fame – Glass Towers
I’m not going mainly because I’m poor, but I’m not too disappointed; a few goodies there. What do you reckon?
