If you can wake from your inevitable New Year’s Eve hangover, a smashing festival is waiting on your doorstep on New Year’s Day. In easily their best line-up ever, Field Day has incredibly pulled the likes of Alt-J, SBTRKT, Milky Chance, RUFUS and Bastille for their day-long festival. But that’s merely the beginning: Lineup: SBTRKT […]
Okay, so by now we should have all soaked up the announcement for Future Music Festival 2015 and who you’re dead keen on seeing. Always a stellar day out (depending on which way you look at the torrential rain in years gone by) and for many an opportunity to see acts that don’t typically tour down under. The […]
Saturday morning was rough. Having lost a battle between myself and a BYO Asian restaurant, the thought of The Blurst of Times that day was making me cringe from my sick bed. However, Coopers Red always comes in handy, and we were off to Fortitude Valley for the second year of the event. Whatever remnants […]
The illustrious Golden Plains is back for their ninth, yes – ninth, turn at taking over the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre in 2015. This in itself is a huge feat for a festival that has never compromised their beliefs and values (BYO, no commercial sponsors, no dickheads, one stage etc), but their first lineup announcement is […]
The coolest new festival to hit the east coast kicks off this Saturday, and it is filled to the brim with unreal Australian acts. Headlined by Brisbane’s DZ Deathrays, the festival starts in Brisbane before heading to Melbourne and Sydney. One of the most anticipated sets comes from Melbourne’s Dick Diver, a four piece that […]
“HOLY SHIT,” sums up my not so eloquent reaction to the first announcement for the 2015 edition of Melbourne’s Sugar Mountain. Jam packed with stellar acts, this lineup is the curveball we’ve been waiting for! Headlining the event is the one and only Nas who will be performing the iconic Illmatic in full. They’ve also […]
Last weekend a couple of dedicated Scenewave representatives trekked down to Tilburg, The Netherlands to see the weird, the wonderful, and the downright spectacular step into the limelight at Incubate Festival. Incubate calls itself an “annual celebration of cutting-edge culture,” and takes pride in showcasing acts that make music well off the beaten path. It […]
Listen Out was on in Sydney last week, and I was lucky enough to head along to the event for the second year running. I’ll admit that I had my reservations, considering some of the issues that I had with the inaugural 2013 event, but I was pleasantly surprised by a day with vast logistical […]
Equally awash with grungy music and crafty beer, Young Henry’s Small Worlds Festival housed in abundance some of the best things ever; tunes, art, yummies, booze and buds. For starters, the food was bloody tops- the smell was enticing from the entrance, and even better in your mouth. There was meat on meat on meat […]
As PBD (Post BIGSOUND Depression) sets in heavier than expected (seriously, what are we meant to do now?!) two Scenewavers look back on the 48 hours that was, and try to narrow their time down to just five highlights each. Less than 12 months to go ’til next year, right?! Andrew 5. SAFIA One of […]
