Essential Festival 2008 line-up

Essential Festival is back like deep fried crack for oh eight with what some would describe as a fucking great line-up.

With INTERNATIONAL acts (for the first time!)..

• Ratatat
• Shocking Pinks

.. and local peepz...

• Regurgitator
• Grafton Primary
• Dardanelles
• The Devoted Few
• The E.L.F
• Gaslight Radio
• The John Steel Singers
• The Seabellies
• The Silents
• Reptiles

The local acts aren't really doing it for us BUT any festival with both Ratatat AND Shocking Pinks on the bill is surely going to get our hard earned cash.

Also, for the first time the festival will bust out of the confines of being a Sydney-only festival and will also travel down to the land of Melbourne.

Thursday, April 24: The Espy Hotel, St Kilda, Melbourne
Friday, April 25: The Gaelic Theatre, Surry Hills, Sydney

There will be a special MySpazzz ticket pre-sale offer from Friday, March 7. Tickets for those of us that aren't 16 and don't have long emo fringes will be available the following Monday (March 10) via Moshtix.
