Modular's Nevereverlandreturns for 2009

Thu 9th Jul, 2009 in Local News

With every passing day, the summer festival season get a little bit closer. Take today for instance, where we found out that Modular’s bash of bashes, Nevereverland, was gearing up for another round of action.

A peek over at the newly refurbished Nevereverland website reveals a new video message from the Modular honchos, explaining (with great humility, right?) how the indie-label-that-could brought reclusive French maestros Daft Punk and their sensory-expanding pyramid of awesomeness to our shores in 2007, and followed that up in 2008 with a less-life-changing-but-equally-fun lineup of in-house stallions Cut Copy, The Presets, Ladyhawke and international fare such as Klaxons, The Whitest Boy Alive and Hercules & Love Affair. Not too shabby, eh?

So what’s on the cards this year? Well we’re not too sure. Modular’s message does reveal that the traveling festival will return in 2009, but gives no clues as to who’ll grace its stage. “The magic carpet ride continues. Stay tuned and all will be revealed…,” the cryptic message states.

So where does that leave us? The “magic carpet” line either suggests we’ll see a supremely cosmic set from Wolfmother and Tame Impala...or that the guys at Modular just really dig Aladdin. Will we see more international superstars? More meltdowns from Muscles? Only time will tell.
