Queensland’s newest festival The Lost Weekend has announced a very impressive first round of acts for its inaugural event.

Already confirmed to be playing Golden Plains this March, Dinosaur Jnr and Dirty Projectors will be headlining the inaugural Lost Weekend. Working the feedback alongside DJ will be the prince of psych Anton Newcombe and his Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Heading up the local contingent are Tumbleweed, Butterfingers and Wolf & Cub with more acts set to be announced soon.

Said to be Queensland’s own Golden Plains, the camping festival will take place from March 6 -7 at the Ivory Rock Convention centre, which is located in the Gold Coast Hinterland’s Peak Crossing. The setting includes a natural ampitheatre that takes in the venues beautiful surrounds, and a section labeled The Pavillion which will function as a meeting place and also provide facilities for 25 shops and cafés situated in a horseshoe around the central dome.

The full first round line up is:

Dinosaur Jr
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Little Birdy
Tumbleweed
British India
The Dirty Projectors
The Drones
Nashville Pussy
Butterfingers

New Brisbane Festival, didn't seem to be a thread for it. Discuss.

Just read the email from Sounds of Spring about this. Looks pretty good.

Edit: No way I can afford however.

Pretty amazing lineup and idea, but theres no way i can afford this.
There will be Dinosaur Jnr and BJM sideys though so it'll be all good.

Wouldn't be so sure. There'll probably be a Sydney and Melbourne sideshow for them. Brisbane is less likey

gumbuoy

gumbuoy said on the 5th Nov, 2009

yeah i think this might qualify as our sideshow...

although didnt a HiFi date for BJTM already get announced?

mickyj

mickyj said on the 6th Nov, 2009

the side shows for those 2 would end up being about $120 anyway. $40 extra for the rest is not too bad? the cheapest ticket is $160 for 2 days which covers both those acts.

but i don't think there are any in queensland.

That's actually one festival lineup I don't actually hate.

I would love to see Dino Jr and BJM play the same festival. So much surliness

JackT said on the 6th Nov, 2009

It's the Golden Plains of Queensland - and there's probably a better chance of finding a ticket. Haha. I'm considering this one actually. So much goodness over summer.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, was really hoping for bjm sideshows? where did you see the hi-fi date liam?

Peak Crossing Hotel - nah wouldn't stay there
Kalbar - not much there either
Boonah - only marginally better

About 20-25 mins from Ipswich/Yamanto.

Camping in March might not be so bad - still a bit warm though out that way.

Better than the bible festival that used to be out near Boonah a few years ago.

Surely anything is better than a bible festival.

Hmm i think calling it the "gold coast hinterland" is stretching the imagination a bit. The site is west of ipswich. Not really Gold Cost hinterland. Might be as far south as Ormeau but certainly a long way inland - it's on the other side of the mountains!

yeoman

yeoman said on the 9th Nov, 2009

yeah but no, it is the gold coast hinterland.
very close to where I live

i was sure i saw them posted here in the FL forums, but now disappeared - maybe it was an improper leak?

ThomasJ said on the 9th Nov, 2009

Lets hope the organisation is better then SOS has been lately, and beers arent $9 a pop

gumbuoy

gumbuoy said on the 9th Nov, 2009

what was wrong with the organisation of SoS this year?

mickyj

mickyj said on the 9th Nov, 2009



my brother swiped a bar price board and beers were $7 plus 1 if you did not bring back an empty. thats about as cheap as you get at any event.

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 9th Nov, 2009



They upped the price to $9 once someone took the price board.

gumbuoy

gumbuoy said on the 9th Nov, 2009

Price boards dont grow on trees.

the lost weekend festival news vol 2

after coming from nowhere with a new festival which has people talking the lost weekend has a lot more to offer then a bunch of bands and somewhere to place your head to rest at night.

if you buy your tickets by friday 11th dec you will go into to the draw to win an ultimate camp site. you will be given the best spot fenced off with a 6 room tent with 4 double beds and your own porta loo. each person staying will still need their ticket to get in but you will be treated like a star with this site set up and waiting for you when you arrive.
also if you buy your ticket to a particular camping area in 2010 you will have 1st right to buy those tickets again in 2011. so for as long as you want to you can come and stay in the same area each year. no more missing out because a festival has become popular.

we are very excited to announce the oto (we are told means noise in japanese) stage which is being programmed by lawrence english (room 40) and will feature some of the best experimental acts from around the world including deerhoof (usa/japan), oneone (japan), tenniscoats (japan), lucas abela (syd) and local group no anchor. with many more still to be announced the oto is for the open minded only.

there have been a lot of local bands asking how they can get on the bill. well there will be a chance for bands to pitch for this. we will be giving preference to local bands who are subscribers to 4zzzfm. also when people buy tickets we are adding a questionnaire were we will ask people who they are coming to see and which local bands we should add to the bill. so if you or your friends are already going make sure they put you down.
for now, it’s time to get lost.

Interesting idea to guarantee someone access to a camping area on a repeat basis. If it suceeds it could potentially become a 'members only' kind of festival.
