Coaster Festival is happening on Saturday 12th September at Gosford Showgrounds.

The festival boasts a killer line up featuring awesome internationals like Does It Offend You Yeah?, The Bronx, GZA / Genius from the Wu Tang Clan, and The Airbourne Toxic Effect.

Today the set times were announced…

The first line up announcement for Pyramid Rock festival (yep, another New Years festival) was released today.

Overall it’s a fairly boring announcement… Empire Of The Sun, The Cat Empire, The Butterfly Effect, Architecture In Helsinki, Faker, The Beautiful Girls, Blue King Brown thrown together with a few internationals like Ugly Duckling (US), LCD Soundsystem (DJ Set), Baddies (UK), and The Boxer Rebellion (UK).

My heart skipped a beat when I saw LCD Soundsystem… and then I saw DJ set. FAIL. Although this is only the first announcement and there are more acts to be added. Maybe LCD Soundsystem (non-DJ set)?! Maybe?! Fingers crossed for some non-DJ set sideshows.

You too could get messy at Falls Festival this year like these dudes…

So as you are all probably aware… the line up for Falls Festival got leaked last week as a result of some awesome detective work and a sloppy web developer (fired yet?).

Poleski takes on the mud puddles of Byron Bay… solo.

So I don’t know if you’ve heard… it may have popped up on your radar… just… but Splendour In The Grass was on the other week and it was awesome. amazing. fantastical. And I’ll go as far as saying… SPLENDID. Yes, I know. You don’t care. You don’t want to hear about it anymore. It was 2 music festivals, and 4 modular nights ago anyway. Nobody cares. Well my apologies in prolonging your frustration, but I missed my flight and had to walk back to Sydney, thus the delay in review. I’m not even going to go into the organic donut withdrawals I’ve been dealing with. I promise this is the last you’ll hear of SITG until 2010.

It’s official, the kids love Tumbleweed as much as we do. After presales selling out last week, general release tickets for Homebake 2009 were all gone today within minutes of going on sale this morning. Nothing to do with Sneaky Sound Finger or whoever else is playing, we are sure.

Consider yourself warned that all Festival Ladies will be present at the Domain on the 5th of December 2009. That is if we survive our first ever all combined effort, Coaster.

Nothing gets us more excited than the announcement for the angriest of the angry music festivals. And it looks like the organisers have out done themselves this time… all that’s missing is Courtney.

Oh we can just smell the festival season round the corner (vodka, sweat & fake tan)…

In a matter of hours the ever so delightful JimmyFest aka SOUNDWAVE Festival will be announced. Several acts have been leaked over the last few weeks (Go internet Go!) and boy does the list have us ready to get our emo on.

Blueprint Festival is happening from 18-21 September in Ararat, Victoria. The festival promises to be a fun weekend without breaking the bank and features an all Australian line up with acts like Jebediah, The Panics, Blue King Brown, The Beautiful Girls and Tim Rogers.

We interviewed Aaron, one of the organisers of Blueprint Festival, to find out about the festival, why he and a couple of his mates decided to start a music festival, and his big plans for the future.
