Future Music Festival was awesome! Ended up front and center at a couple of the stages, and it was definitely better organized than Stereosonic (2010 when I went – couldn’t make it for 2011).

It’s so summer and so Melbourne which makes it a definite winner in my books!

I missed this year’s but the first two were brilliant, and next year’s could be absolute gold, even though so far we only know Pavement are playing (good enough for me).

I’m very much over the festival circuit, I haven’t been to a BDO in about 6 years. I gave up on the Laneway Festival as its over-accelerated growth turned it into a clusterfuck of overcrowding, mismanagement and crowd saturation by annoying fuckwits, and I can afford to go see most of my favourite bands do their own headliners now anyway.

Going to Meredith is always relaxing and fun, and mostly devoid of arseholes (admittedly I didn’t go last year when MGMT attracted a higher than usual level of douchebaggery).
