So does the 2012 edition live up to your expectations? Check out the lineup below and let us know what you think.

Robyn and Chairlift. Grrrrr8.

Hurr Durr said on the 19th Jun, 2012

i think the fuzzy crew have covered a diverse range of acts as per usual (i.e. it's not 100% edm like stereo, etc). good to see! i'm keen.

would go for passion pit and robyn... but otherwise not too convinced right now. how underwhelming... (and where is sleigh bells on any of these lineups?!)

crob

now that's a shit line up

would like to see Robyn and Chairlift... but not enough to pay what ever there asking

Diversity: dubstep, electronic, drugstep, electro, wubstep, and then Robyn.

It seems the fuzzy street team are either running out of names to come out with, or sending secret messages about the lineup in their names.

Robyn sideshow plox

berlinchair101

berlinchair101 said on the 19th Jun, 2012

So, Robyn is the token good act that won't get a sideshow?

I know next to nothing about EDM but with the amount of people blowing up about how good this is on my FB means it's a pretty shitty line up.

Highlight of the post-announce hype fest on triple j - When the 8.30 news reader raved about how great the festival is and how a few years ago he had an amazing time seeing Kanye and The Rapture at Parklife. Just one problem with that... it wasn't at Parklife.

Very weak lineup. Few good acts in Jacques Lu Cont, Lee Foss and Flume but the rest is a massive meh!

That is a really weak lineup.
I was really expecting more.

shazie

shazie said on the 19th Jun, 2012

I don't even think the street team realises that everyone realises they know they are the street team. It's like Cartman walking across the stage naked thinking nobody can see him.

jacegalvin said on the 19th Jun, 2012

What are you talking about?
It's just a bunch of users who all happened to sign up to FL in June of this year and made their first post talking about how awesome Parklife is.
They seem to be the only ones to think it's good, but that doesn't mean anything.

knate

knate said on the 19th Jun, 2012

weak lineup is weak... but idiots keep paying money to fuzzy to go to their shows and see their recycled lineups so who really cares. Jacques Lu Cont and Chairlift i'd be keen to see though, just not there

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 19th Jun, 2012

Prodigious, awesome range of kool acts for everyone to enjoy! Love this lineup, I just can't wait to go along with all my friends! Excellent!

I went to the brisbane show and hands down the best festival i've been to in aus. noone there, no lines, no idiots, good tunes, no kanye, and saw zabs with about 100 people watching.epic day

Can't help but lol at the street team in this thread though, they did the exact same thing last year

ohhellobrisbane

ohhellobrisbane said on the 19th Jun, 2012

something for everyone, a lineup that reflects the fun festival of the year signaling the start of summer and setting the precedent of what we can expect from the australian music scene. pretty sure the preset's new production will blow us away and really excited to see what direction that go in next. pretty sure they nailed our 3 favourite genre's with a great mix of dance, dubstep and live music. pretty sure this is going to sell like hot cakes. :)

http://www.doobybrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/good-vibrations-2008.jpg

This lineup is a lot better than the parklife lineup.

Robyn, Art Department and Lee Foss are the only acts I haven't seen before that I'd want to see...maybe Plan B. Presets, Rusko, Justice DJ set and Tame Impala are always good. Just saw Jacques Lu Cont in Paris last night thinking he'd never tour Aus? Random. Hopefully he is better at Parklife, was pretty generic last night. Accidentally hearing shit like Wiley, DJ Fresh, Nero and Chiddy Bang are potential day ruiners.

fuck yeh! the presets are back!!! but like chairlift and tame impala that's gonna be sick.

at laneways fest when i saw chairlift it was pouring with rain and it was just a sweet vibe so keen as for them again.

and hell yeah for flume scoring a spot.. that dude is destroying it right now.

I guess it's an ok lineup, nothing special though. Would be keen to see Robyn, The Presets, Passion Pit and Justice (more if it was a live show).

But are the Presets really big enough to headline? Last time they played a festival it was Future at around 4 in the afternoon. It seems like last year they had a few more bigger names.

Good to see Flume and Softwar on the bill, but you could probably see them for like $10 at a club night a couple of times in Sydney before Parklife even rolls around.

No thanks.
