St. Jerome's Laneway Festival 2011 - Brisbane

Event Details

Friday, February 4, 2011
Headline Artist: Cut Copy
Brisbane, Queensland
AU

Since its inception in 2004, the St Jerome's Laneway Festival has become synonymous, as they say, with hot summer days, awesome locations and diverse, forward-thinking line-ups filled to overflowing with vital, surprising bands. Favouring cutting edge talent over mainstream success, Laneway has consistently delivered compelling, boundary-pushing acts to discerning punters and next year's event will continue that tradition.

Returning to the tree-lined streets (no-one's getting sunburnt at this festival) of Qld's heritage Alexandria St, St Jerome's Laneway Festival 2011 Brisbane will be a twilight affair.

Music lovers can check out the bands, and it is just a hop skip and jump away from the valley and the city. We will again have the stylin' local designer markets and there'll be loads of food stalls so everyone can go home sated and well-dressed.

Next year's event will also feature a stage co-programmed by our friends at The Windish Agency (Chicago) and Eat...
