Doves and Kool & The Gang Announced for Playground Weekender

Doves and Kool & The Gang will head up the 2011 line up for Playground Weekender.

Next year’s festival has a really interesting bill, with international acts De La Soul, Kate Nash, Caribou, and Roy Ayers joining local acts Hungry Kids of Hungary, Danimals, and Strange Talk. More bands will be added to the line-up in the coming months.

It’s all happening in a picturesque spot near the Hawkesbury River from February 17 to 20. Tickets go on sale on October 18, and are strictly limited to keep things feeling chill. I’d get in early if I were you, as there are big savings on the three and four-day first release tickets.

Art vs Science, Basement Birds and More to Join Cypress Hill at Coaster

Following the recent announcement that Cypress Hill would headline, the folks at Coaster have announced their first line-up.

Falls Festival 2009 - Day 3


It’s a bill which features plenty of exciting new local acts including Art vs Science, Basement Birds, Bluejuice, and Boy vs Bear. I’m thrilled to see a line-up which doesn’t include so many of the usual festival suspects; hopefully that diversity will be the key to getting folks through the gates.

Coaster will hit Gosford Showgrounds on the New South Wales Central Coast on Saturday September 25. Tickets go on sale to the public on July 1, but if you want to get a jump on the competition join the Coaster mailing list for access to the presale on June 24.

Cypress Hill to Headline Coaster Festival

The folks at Coaster have pulled off a massive get this year, securing Cypress Hill to headline the 2010 festival. As a Central Coast girl myself, it’s pretty amazing to think that the old school American hip hoppers will be at Gosford Showgrounds on September 25.

But who will join them? All will be revealed on June 4 when the Coaster team makes the first of their major line-up announcements. Check back here for all the details as they come to hand!
