This morning Parklife released it’s line-up and I am pretty chuffed. There is yet again a strong dubstep component to the festival with Nero (for a second time in two years) , Rusko, Benga, Modestep and (to an extent) Jack Beats being announced. Our Beloved The Presets make their return, with Justice doing their thing and Passion Pit promoting their second album. Plan B was not a surprise for me this year, as we had Katy B dominating the festival last year because for whatever reason it seems as though us Aussies love a solo British vocalist. Tame Impala, Robyn and Chairlift round it off for the indie kids and there are plenty of other amazing support acts including Parachute Youth, Flume, Jacques Lu Cont and Charli XCX . The tour kicks off in Brisbane on the 29th of September and wraps up in Adelaide on the 7th of October. I am counting down the days.
