The newest arrival on the Festival circuit is the , an outdoors open air party. Good Vibrations is about the cutting-edge of music and remembering the original festival spirit, before things turned to big name drawcards and corporate robbery. Sounds good huh?! It gets better!
The action will take place over three main stages that cover both high profile and breaking artists with an emphasis on downtempo beats, hip hop, roots, breaks, house, and rare groove. Two stages will predominantly feature top quality live acts whilst the third will showcase some of the finest DJ talent from the world over. A fourth area will feature a cocktail bar and some suitably laid back DJs to accompany a well-shaken martini or two in the fresh air of the outdoors.
This festival differs from all others mostly in the music. Acts and DJs on the bill thus far are Moloko (live), Gang Starr (live), Nitin Sawhney (live), Lee Scratch Perry & Mad Professor (live), Blackalicious (live), Soul II Soul Sound System, FREE*LAND (live), Crazy Penis (live), Asian Dub Foundation Sound System, Miguel Migs and Lisa Shaw, Gilles Peterson, Tom Middleton and Rob Da Bank.
Good Vibrations is an all day outdoor event, open from midday til 10pm. Fully licensed over 18's only. Earlybird tickets go on sale from November 14 for $69 +bf. Check out their website for more information on ticket retailers.
