You can smell it in the air. Portaloos? Nah warmer climes. Which, in this respect, goes hand in hand.

In that both mark the uncontrollable excitement for the summer festivals. Just yesterday we had the announcement regarding the second line-up of artists added to the Great Escape Festival in October, including The Futureheads, Mt. Eerie, Ned Collette, and Machine Translations to name a few. Now comes some news regarding that very Oz-traylin festival that happens in Sydney each December, Homebake.

It goes down on Saturday Dec 6th in The Domain, Royal Botanic Gardens and tickets go on sale on Monday August 18th.
