Bloc Party
Banquet - Live At Glastonbury
After all the speculation, leaked plans and waiting, the lineup for Splendour In The Grass has finally been announced. Although some of the acts were no surprise, others revelations were quite unexpected. Jack White, Bloc Party, The Shins and Azealia Banks all let slip in some form of other that they would be visiting Australia 'soon,' however other headliners were kept well and truly secret.
Jack White
Love Interruption
No lineup ever satisfies everyone, last year in particular was criticised and even suffered in sales. However with the recently reunited At The Drive In at the helm, I believe Splendour organisers should be proud of what they've produced this year.
At The Drive In
2012 Coachella
Personally I am already excited to see Jack White, Smashing Pumpkins, Miike Snow, Bloc Party, ATTDI and The Shins to name a few, as I imagine is much of Australia (it's been a while since any of them have graced our shores). It's also pleasing to see the promotion of some of Queensland's newest bands to the lineup like Bleeding Knees Club, Ball Park Music, Emma Louise, DZ Deathrays and more. I have actually seen over 20 of the acts on the bill, which is probably an indication I should stop going to so many gigs, but also makes me even more excited to see some of the acts again. The Kooks at Falls Festival on New Years Eve were absolutely brilliant, thanks to them Naive is the first song I heard in 2012 - they are really so much fun.
Emma Louise
Jungle
This festival spends the more money on acts than any other in Australia and as such continually brings a combination of huge international acts and new talent (see Django Django, Zulu Winter etc). Although this then means that punters must pay a fairly steep price to see their beloved rockstars but I can't imagine it is easy to convince acts to visit a small town in Australia in the middle of Winter without some sort of cash incentive!
Get excited Brisbane (and everyone else)!
