With Tone Deaf reader’s favourite festival, Laneway, which recently saw a change in headliner, only a few weeks away from beginning, the folks responsible for the travelling circus of talented musicians have announced official after parties, and dare we say, they look almost better than the festival themselves.

Okay, that may have been a little inflammatory, nothing can top the brilliantly curated Laneway Festival that’s features a dream international lineup of St Vincent, Caribou, Mac DeMarco, Future Islands, FKA Twigs not to mention a strong Aussie contingent of Pond, Flight Facilities, Courtney Barnett and so many more, however for the folks of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, the festival will keep the vibes high after your day of incredible live music.

If you’re heading to Brisbane’s day of festivities, make your way to The Brightside and prepare to move your feet to the likes of Junge Le DJs, which is UK funksters Jungle, as well as Violent Soho, Dune Rats and Eagulls all dropping sets, the evening screaming a good time.

The Oxford Art’s Factory will play official host for those in Sydney, where Future Islands will be performing live, after which Jung Le DJs, Dune Rats, Perfect Pussy, Eagulls and a very special back-to-back set of Mac DeMarco versus Connan Mockasin which will surely bring plenty of party vibes.

Finally, Melbournians are to head to The Hi-Fi to ensure they don’t miss out on any of the fun either, with Future Islands and Jung Le DJs once again taking to the stage. After which, Mac DeMarco will play against our favourite garage-psych psychos King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard in a back to back DJ battle, after which a very unique set from Milk! Records DJs which comprises of label legends Courtney Barnett, Jen Cloher and Fraser A Gorman.

It’s always a bit of a tear-shed moment when a music festival come to close – but when there’s such a rowdy night of rambunctious fun waiting, no punter has to feel the post-festival blues.
