Live Review: Siberian Nights

"Siberian Nights promised a sensory overload and they delivered. Look forward to the next time they decide to throw a party."

Live Review: Elizabeth Rose, Charles Murdoch, Goldsmith

Finishing off with her hit single, The Good Life, it became clear how much Elizabeth Rose has grown into her music persona, bringing an energetic and strong presence to the stage.

Live Review: Cold War Kids, Cabins

From the pounding beats of Something Is Not Right With Me, to the cuddle inducing piano of Tuxedo, the energy of the music was capturing, if not a little sexy.

Live Review: Frightened Rabbit, Admiral Fallow

The crowd definitely got their money’s worth with Frightened Rabbit playing for an hour and 40 minutes. Please come back soon.

Live Review: Yacht, Donny Benet

YACHT brought their holistic approach to the event, making sure everyone was feeling mentally, physically and spiritually well.

Live Review: Big Scary, Caitlin Park

Recent tracks were a delight to hear, bringing a more developed sound to the act. After watching Big Scary this week, June cannot come sooner.

Live Review: Rodriguez & The Break

Getting on at 70 years, Rodriguez was assisted up to the microphone while stagehands organised his guitar for him. In spite of this, he needed no help with the set.

Live Review: Step Panther, Wax Witches & Foam

They played their cover for Nugget’s Liar Liar which was a highlight of the set. Thumbs up boys.

Live Review: Toro Y Moi, Jonti & Yukon Snakes

As the night edged on, the audience became more enraptured until it came to a head with Say That. On this evening, three hours felt like five minutes.

Live Review: Divine Fits & The Delta Riggs

Divine Fits, however, were as humble as a band could get, in spite of their impressive line-up.

Live Review: Laneway Festival

Bat For Lashes can only ever be crazy good with a stunning performance to round off the night at the Park Stage.

Live Review: Hunx & His Punx

Sleep deprivation on a working week day has never felt so right.
