Back in June we heard whispers of a new festival set to stake its claim on the Spring calendar, and the details have just been announced on triple j. Sitting very pretty at the top of the bill for Harvest Festival’s first year is Portishead in its first Australian tour for 13 years. Have a read of inthemix’s EXIT Festival review to remind yourself why you should be excited. Also sure to set a few hearts a-flutter around these parts are Death In Vegas, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and PVT. This one came out of leftfield!
