Parklife replacement festival Listen Out have announced the inaugural lineup including Disclosure, who had previously been booked for Parklife, alongside Azealia Banks, Aluna George, and more.
Fuzzy say that they came to the decision to scuttle Parklife so they could focus on creating the new event that they say is desperately needed in Australia. Labelling it Australia’s first intelligent dance music event, Listen Out aims to bring quality dance music to four inner city venues across Australia this spring.
Fuzzy promise that Listen Out will be the antidote to many of the things you don’t like about big music festivals.
It is a carefully handcrafted party, with a killer lineup of the dance music that matters and a philosophy of best, not biggest,” said organisers. “Say goodbye to endless timetable clashes, long hikes to the 12th stage and spending your day with several thousand people you can’t relate to. Listen Out is the right party, and we mean party not festival, for the right people.”
Listen Out will be held in Sydney at Brazilian Fields in beautiful Centennial Park, in Brisbane at the Cultural Forecourt, South Bank, in Perth at Ozone Park, and in Melbourne at the Observatory Precinct in the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.
Sadly for fans in Adelaide, not only will there not be a Parklife this year, but Listen Out has also decided to skip the city of churches.
Promoter Fuzzy entertainment has also got off to a less-than-ideal beginning for their fledging event, with rival Astral People accused Fuzzy of blatantly ripping off their concept, look, and logo. Astral People launched OutsideIn festival last year as a boutique electronic music festival featuring the likes of Flume, Smoke DZA, Oliver Tank, and HTRK.
Astral People had indicated last month that they were busy planning at 2013, but have since revealed that they’ll be delaying their announcement due to Fuzzy’s new festival.
