Aussie events crew Fuzzy - the team behind celebrated music events such as Parklife, Field Day, Harbourlife and Shore Thing - are shaking things up this year, with the announcement today that the national Parklife festival will not be going ahead in 2013, but will instead be replaced by "intelligent dance music" event, Listen Out.
Labeled as a carefully handcrafted party, not a festival, Listen Out will hit Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane across September and October with a specially curated lineup of quality dance music. As Fuzzy themselves put it, at Listen Out you can "say goodbye to endless timetable clashes, long hikes to the 12th stage and spending your day with several thousand people you can't relate to."
“We see a need for a return to this simple idea: A straight up, quality dance-off in beautiful surroundings," explains Fuzzy director John Wall. "That’s what Listen Out is.”
Keep your eyes glued to Pulse for the full lineup for Listen Out 2013, revealed on Friday June 21st. Tickets go on sale midday, Thursday 27th June, from $89+bf.
