Ever since listening to Triple J stream acts live from Splendour in the Grass this year I have been reminiscing about some of my fave festival moments. I love the festival vibe, there’s nothing better than donning on your dress, slapping on a bit sunscreen, having a few drinks and dancing with friends!

Ooh love this post Kate! Mine would be Tool (Big Day Out 2009.. I think?), Faith No More (Soundwave 2010) and a few that weren't festivals but are right up there: seeing Art vs Science this year in a tiny, underground bar in New York (they rocked it hard!), seeing my all-time faves Fleetwood Mac live a few years ago in Brisbane and funnily enough, Rihanna... she was seriously good! Gosh my music taste really is a mish-mash! x

ReplyDeletePulp

And (in no particular order) the Strokes, Sydney BDO 2005; Ben Harper at Blues and Roots 2001; Blackalicious, Splendour 2002; The Vasco Era breaking into Kokomo at Falls 06 was pretty fun; Franz Ferdinand at Splendour 2004 and Spiderbait at some festival in Perth 2006. There would be more...
ReplyDeleteGolden Plains in 2009 has been the best festival I've ever been to. Next on the list is Meredith.
PS Plump DJs at Harbourlife 2003 was pretty epic too.
ReplyDeleteAnd would love to see Warpaint! x

ReplyDeleteRach; Nothing wrong with a bit of mish mash I say!! The Art vs Science gig would have been awesome! x
Mere; Ah yes, Plump DJ's at Parklife 2008, who could forget.... Hey did they end up playing your fave song? haha x
Nico; Warpaint are amazing live, you will certainly be swaying to a few of their tunes when you get to see them :) x
Cam; Yes we were lucky to make it in that night! And lucky we all have some sort of memory of it :) Good times!!
