LOOKING FOR THE 2012 LANEWAY LINEUP?

Not content with simply staging Australia’s most loved indie music event, St Jerome’s Laneway Festival has been busy programming music at Field Day in London, and in doing so have (hopefully) dropped a few hints for what to expect come Laneway 2012.

Before heading over to London, the Laneway crew put on a huge party at SXSW in Austin with a bunch of bands that included UK electronic due Mount Kimbie, US indie pop gem Twin Shadow and the much-hyped soul singer Jamie Woon – all of who would look very comfortable on a Jerome’s bill next year.

And if that was enough to get the Laneway rumours rolling, the festival has also programmed a stage at London’s famed Field Day chock full of bands that we hope to see down under in the next twelve months. Both Jamie Woon and Mount Kimbie made the cut on the Jerome’s stage again, alongside James Blake, The Horrors, Connan Mockasin and 2:54

Here’s hoping this a sign of things to come.

Update:
Laneway has posted a mixtape on Soundcloud featuring Battles, Cut Off Your Hands, EMA, Gang Gang Dance, Braids, Kid Cornered, Africa Hitech and Metronomy (who recently told FL that they’d be touring Australia this summer) – hopefully there are a few 2012 lineup hints in there!
