Fuzzy have announced this afternoon that Parklife 2013 will be replaced with another music festival. As of now, the Parklife homepage redirects to a Facebook fan page for a “hand-crafted” replacement party called Listen Out, a boutique anti-festival focusing on quality over quantity and the nebulous IDM genre. From the Facebook page:
“Surprise: Fuzzy is not holding Parklife this year. Why? To focus on creating a new event that is desperately needed. Australia does not have a national intelligent dance music event – until now. Listen Out brings quality dance music to four spectacular inner city venues across Australia this spring. Listen Out is the antidote to many of the things you don’t like about big music festivals. It is a carefully handcrafted party, with a killer lineup of the dance music that matters and a philosophy of best, not biggest. 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. Listen Out is the right party, and we mean party not festival, for the right people.”
“A straight up, quality dance-off in beautiful surroundings,” says Fuzzy director, John Wall “That’s what Listen Out is.”
Are you the right people? Can other punters relate to you? You might want to save the dates.
