Laneway Festival Organisers have announced the addition of local artists and at the Perth and Brisbane events.
In Perth, the festival site has grown significantly and expanded further into the streets, creating more room inside the festival grounds. The festival also regains access to the picturesque Urban Orchard in front of the Art Gallery which will be transformed into an international farmers’ market – where patrons go sit amongst the fruit and veg gardens whilst chowing down on the fine festival grub on offer.
In Brisbane, Laneway has partnered up with iconic Brisbane venue THE ZOO and taste-making music conference BIGSOUND. Both have helped program the new ZOO/BIGSOUND Stage – a new and ongoing feature of the festival in Brisbane.
The following artists have also been added to the line up:
Brisbane and Perth
Gareth Liddiard (The Drones) – John Steel Singers
Brisbane Only
The Jezebels – Toy Balloon – Hungry Kids of Hungary
Perth Only
Blud – Canyons – Carl Fox – Felicity Groom – The Growl – Injured Ninja – The Joe Kings – San Cisco (formally King George) – Ruby Boots – Seams – Split Seconds – Path to Laneway
Local acts galore have been added to Big Day Out bills around the country for the 2011 tour.
Check out all the awesome local representation! It almost makes me wish I had a ticket. Almost.
