If you were rocking out to the Bellrays at this year's Golden Plains, or giving your dancing shoes a run for their money at the Avalanches DJ Show, no doubt you'll be waiting with bated breath to hear what the GP crew are going to dish up at the next festy.
The culture and feel of Golden Plains created itself over the course of the inaugural festival this year. It was a more intimate affair than it's big sister, Meredith, but despite it's relaxed nature managed to pack some mighty punches with the stellar lineup.
Next year's Golden Plains will once again take place in Meredith's natural ampitheatre over the Labour Day Weekend of March 8-10. Ticketing and lineup details will be announced soon.
This was the last Golden Plains mixed bag of treats...
THE BELLRAYS, FAT FREDDYS DROP, YO LA TENGO, !!!, THE PRESETS, MAD PROFESSOR, GOTYE, THE AVALANCHES DJ SHOW, COMETS ON FIRE, DEXTER, THE SLITS, SEBASTIAN AND KAVINSKY (ED BANGER TOUR), DARREN HANLON, THE DRONES, EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING, SHOOTING AT UNARMED MEN, DUDLEY PERKINS AND GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW, MUPH AND PLUTONIC, GROUND COMPONENTS, RIOT IN BELGIUM, NICK THAYER, GEORGE RRURRAMBU AND BIRDWAVE, MOUNTAINS IN THE SKY, SUNWRAE ENSEMBLE, SLEATER BROCKMAN, JAMAICA IRIE WITH RUCL AND JIGZIE CAMPBELL, MUSCLES AND MORE.
Tickets to Golden Plains will be even more limited than to Meredith so it's going to be one heck of a bun fight. Stay tuned for Golden Plains 08' updates.
