Brisbane Laneway moved indoors

Fri 27th Jan, 2012 in Local News

The Laneway festival organizers have decided that after a week of what they term “crazy tropical weather” and with the forecast looking grim for the next week they need to shift all stage areas undercover to avoid the rain at tomorrow’s Laneway show.

Festival co-promoter Danny Rogers says that “the showers will prove a wonderful relief and the cooler weather conditions are pretty much perfect for an event in Brisbane” but thankfully the action will be held out of the rain with “all stages and punter viewing areas of tomorrow’s event will be hosted undercover”.

He says that this will “ensure that both the amazing bands and the punters that we want to have the best experience possible can enjoy these artists without the hindrance of wet weather. The beauty of this site is that it is capable of being hosted undercover and we’ve always had a back up wet weather plan up our sleeve for this show.”

The festival organisers also want to remind you to wear sturdy footwear (no thongs) and that you won’t be able to take an umbrella to the festival.

Rodgers has also responded to feedback about some of the more painful timetable clashes – “The main issue is that we have such a solid line-up of artists that it is inevitable that there would be a few time clashes. For various reasons we will not go into here, this is a common and unfortunate aspect of having a phenomenal multistage line-up. The good thing is that we are a small boutique event and it is possible to walk between each stage in under three minutes so everyone can get a very good taste of every act on the bill if they want to.”
