Golden Plains

There’s three simple facts to be known: – It’s true – there’s going to be another festival at Meredith this summer (technically Autumn). – It will be staged in the Meredith style, by the Meredith team, in The Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre. That should speak for itself. – There are still tickets available. They are being sold online, or there are some record stores selling them.

THE STORY SO FAR

Golden Plains is about to embark on her Maiden Voyage… The team that brings you the Meredith Music Festival has been hand-crafting this new vessel in dry-dock for a many a long winter and she is finally ready to set sail. The Festival will be known as Golden Plains, so named for the Shire she resides in, and will take place at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre on an Epic Long Weekend at the end of this Summer; specifically the weekend of March 10-12 2007, known as Labour Day Weekend.

What kind of festival will this Golden Plains be? A fair question. It will essentially be staged in the same style as her big sister Meredith, with all Meredith’s trademark characteristics, and a few distinguishing tweaks. The lineup so far includes a grab-bag of the world’s most amazing artists, including The BellRays, Fat Freddys Drop, Yo La Tengo, The Avalanches DJ Show, The Drones, !!!, The Slits, Gotye, Comets On Fire, Ground Components, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Mountains In The Sky, with more to come of course.

All up, not the orgy of excellent dancehall that I was expecting. But major props still go out to Jimmy Sings for serving up the unexpected, even if the international headliners didn’t live up to my lofty expectations.
