The Lost Weekend festival is a new festival coming to the outskirts of Brisbane City. Or more specifically, the rather dry sounding
Ivory's Rock Conference Centre.
*metal*
At a glance it reads as more architecturally staid "Golden Plains up north". Running from Friday 5th March until Sunday 7th March, organisers are offering a two or three day camping pass to the festival grounds, which boast of being amongst natural forest, parklands and watering holes, as well as hosting a natural amphitheatre. Sounds familiar? No mention of BYO booze though, which, let's face it, is intrinsic to the Southern experience.
At least it appears that: most of the info links on the Lost Weekend website are
dead. Not so promising then. The lineup however:
