Tumbleweed, Drones Set For Lost Weekend

Savvy festival-goers looked towards Queensland’s recently announced Lost Weekend Festival as an indication of what acts might be appearing at Golden Plains next year – and they weren’t far off.

International acts Dinosaur Jr, The Dirty Projectors, Wooden Shjips, Jeffrey Lewis and Nashville Pussy – all confirmed for Golden Plains – will perform at the inaugural event at the Ivory's Rock Conference Centre on the outskirts of Brisbane in March.

The festival will also feature a strong local contingent including Little Birdy, Tumbleweed (pictured), British India, The Drones, Wolf & Cub, Dan Kelly, Whitley, The John Steel Singers and Regular John. Full line-up below.

Ticket prices range from $166-$187 for a two-day pass, or $207-$228 for all three days. The extra $20 is for camping with power (now where’s the fun in that?). For more information click here, but beware of broken links.

Dear Anton Newcombe,

I know you have mellowed out. But please attack the singing ogre from Little Birdy with a broken sitar. Bash her on the head so she can't sing anymore. Best Wishes, Timewaster.

The newest festival this season is The Lost Weekend, and it’s just offered the second round in updates. Uniquely, the festival promoters have said that this year’s ticket holders will gain priority for the next event in an aim to reward those who have supported the festival from the start. So with that in mind, we barely need to tell you that the oto stage (‘noise’ in Japanese apparently) will feature Deerhoof, oneone, Tenniscoats, Lucas Abela and local outfit No Anchor, plus there’s plenty more to be announced. As an added bonus, buy your tickets before Friday 11 December and you’ve got the chance to win the ‘ultimate’ camping site. Four double beds and a private porta loo sound good?

Lost Weekend festival moves from a three day camping weekend to two days at the Riverstage/Botanical Gardens...

Hopefully this won't be another Blueprint, it's a much better line-up.
