Rockit Music Festival, Oct 22, 23, 24 -Victoria Park Greens

Da Music Issue

Rockie_11I am so excited. It’s going to be such a nice weekend. I am so looking forward to see Audio Traffic play mainstage as the second to last act. I have never seen them any where but little clubs, so this should be awesome. I have no doubt they can manage a big stage and a bigger crowd. Especially because last year they were relegated to the worse slot possible, 11am on Sunday, small stage. Horrible. But now they won the battle of the bands and will be heading to New Zealand for the competition I suppose the organizers decided to give them a chance. King lychee will be there also, and after I saw them support Korn, I am pleased I will see them again, they rocked.

Missing is Ultra Lounge (why??) and EES. Its such a shame that Electric Eel Shock could not come back because they are touring Sweden as they stole last years festival! That was what everyone could talk about for weeks.

Oh well. I have no idea who half the acts are, but it’s just going to be a good few days to sit in the sun, on the grass, hang out with friends and bump into just about everyone you know but have not seen in a long time. I am so glad they are doing this again. Little festivals are the best. No hassels, no need to bring anything, you’re not going to lose everyone and find you’re standing there all by yourself for hours. Nice contained space, easy to manage. Chillllll.
