Playground Weekender 2012 First Announcement

Playground Weekender is a festival in a realm of its own.  The Wiseman's Ferry detached location matched the the festivals laid back style means you spend your days waking up late, swimming in the river, drinking before midday and giggling at the notorious pool sign...and then eventually remembering "Oh yeah, there's a tonne of amazing local and international artists playing."

How amazing? BLACK LIPS rowdy rock and roll levels of amazing.  We are hoping the festivals huge fancy party night falls on the same night as ARIEL PINK'S HAUNTED GRAFFITI set just to witness a sea of Amy Winehouses and other politically incorrect costumes get loose in a lo-fi disco haze. Other acts that are definitely worth getting out of the pool for are NEON INDIAN, MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA, BOY AND BEAR and Melbourne's rising hell-raisers NORTHEAST PARTY HOUSE.
