Having just celebrated their most successful year yet, it’s been a case of no rest for the wicked in the Playground Weekender camp, with news coming through that the 2010 festival will stretch out to 4 epic days. Mark it in your diary now kids, Thursday February 18th through to Sunday February 21st!

In 2009 Playground had their biggest crowd ever, with 8,000 party people descending on Wiseman’s Ferry. Organisers have promised that the maximum they’ll allow it to grow to in 2010 in 12,000, as they want to ensure the unique vibe and atmosphere Playground has become famous for is maintained.

If you’re keen as mustard to ensure your spot at the 2010 event they’ll be selling some super early bird special tickets for only $130+bf. They’re 4 day passes, and once they’ve sold out the price will jump to a second release of $159+bf (3 days) and $179+bf (4 days), and final release of $199+bf (3 days only).

To get an early bird ticket you must be a Playground Weekender member, which costs $30. So, in essence you’re getting a 4 day ticket for the price of 3 days, right? Right! Membership will get you:

1. Guaranteed tickets for you and one other for future years of the Playground Weekender.
2. Reduced price tickets to the Playground Weekender Fancy Dress Reunion at a limited capacity venue in the very near future.
3. 20% reduction in ticket price to all Playground events and tours (recent tours included Primal Scream, The Streets and Crazy P).
4. A membership card, and other unspecified goodies.
