Final line-up for Essential Festival unveiled
Even with the awesome two international acts (Shocking Pinks and Ratatat) the first line-up announcement for the Essential Festival didn't really get us all that giggly and excited.
The second (and final) list of artists has us moderately more 'whoooooo' over the whole thing.
- Talons
- Straight Arrows
- Richard In Your Mind
- Cuthbert & The Nightwalkers
- Regular John
- WOW
- Bird Automatic
- Cloud Control
- The Holidays
- Cassette Kids
- Pip Branson Corporation
- Centipede
- Erin Marshall
- The Khan Brothers
- Gin Winmore
Fuck it, even with all that awesome, the thought of the Gaelic sound will more than likely drive us to the My Disco show instead.
It should also be noted that these are the bands that will be at the Sydney leg of the festival. Although the core bands are the same, Melbourne has a slightly different 'second string' team. Check the festival website for that info.
Tickets are on sale NOW via Moshtix and will set you back around $55.

Talons have unfortunately had to pull out of the show. Sad face!
They have, however, been replaced by Fashion Launches Rocket Launches (Mercy Arms and Valentinos side project) and the "infernal biker boogie-bots" Circle Pit.
