Now I know what all the fuss is about when people mention the Laneway festivals! Nestled amongst the museum, tafe, the art gallery and the library was the best stage set-up I’ve experienced in, well ever. There was virtually no cross over of sounds (except when listening to Mumford and Sons or Sarah Blasko if you were at the back, but trust me it was so far back it was still acceptable) . The crowd was filled with music appreciators (based on broad stereotypes of what music appreciators look like). Best of all, there was super quick bar service despite the huge crowd, hooray! I should probably tell you about the music know too, but that’s all after the jump (mainly because I was in way over my head!)

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to post this! I’m very behind, maybe because it doesn’t have an electronic music focus. It’s been in Perth a few times before and all I’ve heard has been great things. Although I don’t have an official press release, I can tell you the focus is genuinely on alternative music, and artists who are pushing boundaries in their fields, who are still able to be crowd pleasers, like The XX, Mumford and Sons, N.A.S.A., Florence and The Machine, Radioclit and The Middle East. If you want the full lineup it’s after the jump.
