Laneway Festival ticket acquired. Friend and her friends got some too! So now we are going together as a big group and I have something to look forward to :)

They must've sold a fuckton of tickets in that presale, there were 13k people in front of me in the queue when I joined at 10am when it opened.

Hope you all enjoy your festival!

I reckon they did. 35k in front of me. Bananas.

Hope you get tickets (if you want to go)! :)

That 35k is going to avg more than 1 ticket per person in the queue which is madness for the first presale.

Yeah got ours, we were on the fence as we have no interest in the lineup, but we go every year and love festival vibes so yah know.

I do miss it being held at Footscray Community Arts Centre though :'(

Yeah that is madness.

Did you go when Tame Impala were small and playing in it? It's crazy how some artists have blown up since they played at Laneway.

[โ€“] indisin@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah I was there in 2017 :D

Seeing artists blow up is my jam, I prefer catching them when they're playing local dive bars though or just dropped their first track online; it makes seeing them at a festival all that more awesome. It's just a shame they stop remembering you.
