Parklife 2012 lineup lands!

Mon 18th Jun, 2012 by Katie Cunningham in News 32278 views

It’s here! After months of waiting, rumours and a few inadvertent leaks, the Parklife 2012 lineup announcement has finally arrived. The spring festival institution hits Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide this September and October, and predictably it’s got a huge assembly of big names in tow. Leading the charge is locals The Presets, backed up by a long-awaited Robyn, recent Summadayze visitors Justice on the decks and US electro-pop act Passion Pit.

With this year’s tour following a giant, bass-heavy 2011 lineup that included Magnetic Man, Nero and Flux Pavilion alongside Digitalism, Ed Banger dude SebastiAn and the legendary The Streets, Parklife has a lot to live up to. So, have Fuzzy topped it for 2012? Check out the lineup below and let us know what you think.

Jizzin. Parklife line up is yet to disappoint me. So stoked. bring on spring.

nathfabiano said on the 19th Jun, 2012

JUSTICE, what a line up !!

joelfullstop said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Yeahh this is pretty cool.. I missed out on Parachute Youth tickets when they just toured like a week ago so keen to catch them there.

I'm sure I'll find some acts to watch in between though haha

joelfullstop said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Yeahh this is pretty cool.. I missed out on Parachute Youth tickets when they just toured like a week ago so keen to catch them there.

Personally I think I like more of the acts this year than last year so I think I'll probably go.

ravelikespastic said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Im super happy with that!
FUCKYEAH!

RaverSlut said on the 19th Jun, 2012

WTF is this shit!? Where is all the EDM!! Add abit of hardstyle into the line up and you have yourself a festival!.. Its probably going to be another cold, rainy , swampy swamplife again. fuk that shit! DEFQON1 HERE WE FKN GO!!!!

davecw said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Lol ill be in Ibiza so not even mad about missing this.

Not one single act i haven't already seen or want to see. Boring !!1

hurrdurr said on the 19th Jun, 2012

The lineup is mint! Bring on Benga, Hermitude and local party master Alison!

kane2188 said on the 19th Jun, 2012

jacques lu cont ftw.. he def needs to be higher on that list...

@Erns1991 erol was here for field day 2011. killed it...

KatStanford said on the 19th Jun, 2012

I love good ol' Aussie talent... Alison Wonderland, Flume and Hermitude! :(

Erns1991 said on the 19th Jun, 2012

@kane2188 yeah i know he killed it so why doesn't someone bring him back instead of nero/jack beats/modestep/benga/dj fresh who have all been here in the last 6 months.

theHordern said on the 19th Jun, 2012

wish fuzzy did sideshows, chairlift opening for passion pit would be grouse. and why the fuck is jacques lu cont so low?

nikki_bikki_ said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Pretty cool lineup.

Ruthykins said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Is it just me or do Justice "head line" every year?

itmo said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Luv the line-up!!! it's great that Parklife has gone in a different direction from the other summer festivals !!

avautin said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Yes!!!! This is actually my dream line up! Thank you Parklife!!!

lee_the_flea said on the 19th Jun, 2012

sickkkkk lineup

mattkahn said on the 19th Jun, 2012

i saw them and they are amazing live.... will not disappoint

graceb7 said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Flume, Rusko, Wiley, Hermitude.. Can now cross those off the list!

Ben Royal said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Super surprised to see JLC on the lineup - have wanted to see him for years. A 90 minute closing set by him on one of the side stages would be memorable - his remixes holds so many memories of Melbourne and the SMMB for me - from Coursey playing 'What Else Is There' at Summadayze to 'Mr Brightside' being one of the classic Prince tracks.

Wish I wasn't flying back from Paris that night!

elryo said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Solid line up. Lots of variety, but really Nero again? Especially after he played BDO

nebzy said on the 19th Jun, 2012

almost missed Jacques Lu Cont at the bottom!
will be the best part of PL

shaway said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Nero, again, really?!?

WilhelmScream said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Plan B. Fuck yes. Such a talented bloke, his album is shaping up to be one of my favourite releases this year!

djgooglemaps said on the 19th Jun, 2012

IT IS SO GREAT THAT JACQUES LU CONT WILL BE OPENING FOR ALISON WONDERLANDS

ohhellobrisbane said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Great Lineup, Perfect mix of Live, Dance and Dubstep. can't wait to see Preset's new production and the new direction that they go in. Flume + Jack Beats have both played at oh hello! and with Flume's album coming out soon his show will be one to watch at this year's parklife.

Really Don't want to wait over 3 months until parklife......hurry up summer!

Amosse said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Club shows for Benga please.

brenly said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Jacques!!

limeicecubes said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Really weak lineup, sure there's some quality in there, but all the highlights of this list have been here thousands of times. When are music festivals going to chase after new blood and artists that haven't toured last weekend...dissapointed with the absence of erol alkan, boys noize, bat for lashes & totally enormous extinct dinosaurs.

jamwildway said on the 19th Jun, 2012

A lil disappointing, except for The Presets, Jacques Lu Cont & Nero. Fuzzy needs some bigger names on the bill if they want to compete with the NRL Grand Final schedule clash.

RGB Parade said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Such is Parklife...

elli_ said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Love this lineup! After Chiddy Bang pulled out of GTM I'm soo excited to finally see him! And Plan B?! Wrapt with so many artists on this bill! Great work Fuzzy <3

mlirosi said on the 19th Jun, 2012

wildway fuzzy has done a good job at reaching a pretty diverse field , big names such as??...

kellygibson said on the 19th Jun, 2012

sooooo keen for Plan B and Robyn <3 awesome line up

kellygibson said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Plan B & Robyn....keen :)

Warren G said on the 19th Jun, 2012

If it wasn't for this video the announcement would of been pretty lame http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r9XIRPCF1E&feature=player_embedded

josh_goods said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Aldo Van Eyck (architect) laments that western civilization has embraced a position based on an %u2018assumption that what is not like it is a deviation, less advanced, primitive, or, at best, exotically interesting at a safe distance.%u2019
how do you expect them to make line ups better, if anything different than last time is considered a step backwards?
...homogeneous parklife crowd

sana89 said on the 19th Jun, 2012

yuck

RaverSlut said on the 19th Jun, 2012

UP YOUR FUZZY A$$ FUZZY GET SOME REAL NAMES HAPPENING OR JUST GO INTO RESSECION ALREADY!!

RaverSlut said on the 19th Jun, 2012

YOU MAKE US PLAY THE NAMING GAMING and GEE US UP FOR NOTHING!!

james223 said on the 19th Jun, 2012

What a boring lineup

josh_goods said on the 19th Jun, 2012

haha, last year they got magnetic man, so this year they brought out a third of them... AMAZEBALLS

wstrvlt said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Any word on if VIP tickets are worth the price?

Twizard said on the 19th Jun, 2012

ah Plan B and Rizzle Kicks, would love for Childish Gambino to be added...just cause he is awesomes

chevmeister said on the 19th Jun, 2012

presets yewwwwwwww

User_270195 said on the 19th Jun, 2012

So much of a let-down compared to last year!
Hopefully the "+ more to come" makes it for parklife 2012!

thesuntoucher said on the 19th Jun, 2012

holy space balls

mister a said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Why is Jacques Lu Cont not headlining?!?!

sizmos said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Lee Foss & Jacques Lu Cont sideshows please!

mr flauge said on the 19th Jun, 2012

I'm hoping that the Presets are going to GO OFF...
I will still be attending even with this piss poor line up.
Why can;t they look at Parklife England and get some of the great acts they have playing there? Are Australians really that stupid that we need to see the same acts 6 times in 2 years?
Music scene in this country is fucked.
The only company still bringing out quality and variety is Future Music, wish they had this years line up split into 3 festivals over the year, they had way too many great acts, and too many people missed out on seeing so much.
