The indie music lover’s festival of choice, St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival has this morning fulfilled on its initial promise of its self-proposed “mega dream lineup” with the rumour mill picking up speed for its 2013 lineup when organisers themselves teased punters with a few blog posts hinting at prospective acts for the festival.
Adding the international likes of Purity Ring, Daughter, Haim and Jessie Ware on top of the solid whispers of acts planned for the 2013 bill, stemming from leaked Australian tour announcements that coincided with the already announced February tour dates for Laneway.
Chief among them being the old-school guitar assault of Japandroid (also mentioned in Laneway’s Top 5 Buzz acts post), new indie supergroup Divine Fits, and Brooklyn boho-popsters Yeasayer; all who have let slip that they’ll be touring our shores early next year.
To the many predictions already thrown about, Laneway organisers responded:
We've seen some wild line-up guesses but some you switched on peeps are on the ball. Keep the speculation coming #Laneway

While also saying that we can expect the ladies to make a strong showing for the 2013 lineup.
