The Meredith 2013 playing times have been announced, with the full, lovingly hand-selected set timetables for the 2013 lineup now available.
There’s many great things about Meredith Music Festival, but one of its greater aspects is that you know long before the playing schedule is revealed that you needn’t worry about pesky clashes thanks to the brilliant one stage setup of the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre.
But it’s always a nice reminder if you managed to score in the famed ticket ballot for the completely sold out event, and with less than four weeks to go until you can trip the light fantastic until the early hours of the morning with all the heroes on the full Meredith 2013 lineup.
Those who get along to the afternoon opening of 2013 on the Friday will be dealt a double dose of rock from Warped and Stonefield and from singer-songwriter Vance Joy, before the evening’s selection of weirdo indie rock from Deerhunter, the famously slugglish metal sounds of Melvins, and the out-there grooves of Brian Jonestwon Massacre, with World’s End Press providing a much needed dance break in between. More electronic delights in the early hours from the classically-trained Jon Hopkins and Roland Tings and the ever-enigmatic Silent Wedge for the AM owls.
Saturday night is punctuated by the legendary Nile Rodgers and Chic, who will command The ‘Sup’s for 90 funk-filled minutes, following appearances from Aussie heroes Spiderbait, Hermitude, and Beasts Of Bourbon. Meanwhile, the daytime offers a mid-morning of laconic narratives with Courtney Barnett, slippery guitar work from Mac DeMarco, some punkish cathartics with The Smith Street Band and a late lunch with Dick Diver.
Sunday begins with some traditional relaxation warm-ups with Master Song Tai Chi, before a psych-pop endowed set from Baptism of Uzi, chilled brunch waves from Oliver Tank, and the annual Meredith Gift sandwiched between the fuzzy rock of Beaches and snotty punk punch of the UV Race. All three days will a selection of DJs keeping the music magic going with the interstitial soundtrack.
The reveal of the Meredith 2013 playing times follows the long-running event scooping another award, with the majority of the public voting to gift Meredith with top honours in the Music Festival category at Wednesday night’s The Age Music Victoria Awards ceremony.
A telegram from enigmatic festival matriarch Aunty Meredith, read out to the audience, issued warm thanks to the crowd – a much more benevolent tone than that of the stern warning issued to those looking to ‘jump the fence’ and sneak into The ‘Sup for free, with the festival enforcing its ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy on trespassers as 18 people face jail and fines.
So bless your lucky stars if you’ve managed to obtain a ticket to Meredith 2013 (or even its already sold out sister event, Golden Plains)
