More great festival news this morning with Harvest officially announcing joint sideshows for The Family Stone and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, and the sideshow we’ve all been waiting for….drum roll….The Flaming Lips. Bad news for those outside of Adelaide and Melbourne because both sideshows will only be visiting those cities.
In ever better news for Flaming Lips fans both venues are moderately sized so die-hard fans will get a unique chance to get up close and personal with the band. Given the lips propensity for great on stage antics and audience engagement this could shape up to be one of the greatest concerts all year.
This news come off the back of news Monday that Foxy Shazam had pulled out from Harvest Festival due to commitments in the UK, prompting promoter AJ Maddah to call the band ‘total retards’.
