From big-time dream-pop to big-haired rock & roll, there are plenty of reasons to love festival season in the Southern hemisphere. Following the pumped up kicks, rockabilly licks, and modern-day lullabies that brought sold out crowds across Australia for Big Day Out, we spent the day hanging at St. Jerome�s Laneway Festival in Sydney. What began as a packed side-alley show in Melbourne has quickly developed into a national touring event and a favourite summer festival.
Between sets in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Auckland, and Singapore, here�s what some of Laneway�s biggest names had to say about touring down under, the Laneway vibe, and their favorite inspirational acts on YouTube:
- The Horrors get into psychadelic pop and out-of-this world sounds of Connan Mockasin
- Multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer and vocalist Jonti talks big beats and big sounds of Flying Lotus
- Hear what outstanding female vocalist have inspired The Drums to come together as a band
- Recorded in their same hometown, Twin Shadows� At My Heels brings laughs & tears to electronic pop duo Chairlift
- M83, known the world over for reverb effects and loud instrumentals, has his first encounter with the electronic music of Jean Michel Jarre
The Laneway crew�s just completed their tour but you can enjoy your own little taste of this iconic Australian festival right here on YouTube.
