Disconnect Festival: GRRL PAL

Answered by: GRRL PAL

Member & Role: Jay Le Kat — Singer

The festival scene in WA is an interesting beast. What are you expecting from the inaugural Disconnect? I'm really excited about the beautiful location! I am pretty much expecting to never be bored because of all the activities on offer.

How will you spend your time at the festival? In between watching all of my fave acts I'm probably going to be eating because festival food is my favourite kind of food, and then maybe I will play some mini-golf also.

Best road trip story/memory? We had just finished playing our first Sydney show and I was really tired… Because of lock out we had to Uber to some other Sydney town that weren't going to lock us out of da club… And I was very sober and very grumpy and I fell asleep leaning on the wall of the club and got everyone I was there with kicked out.

What artists are you most excited to see at Disconnect Festival and why? Tkay Maidza! Because I have never seen her live and she looks super energetic and super fun and we have the same cat leotard so fingers crossed she wears it and we can be twins. Danny is super excited to seen Neon Indian!

When & where: 11-13 Dec, Disconnect Festival, Fairbridge Village
