Grimes and Sunnyboys Announced For Meredith Music Festival

Meredith Music Festival have announced the first two acts who will grace their thirty-strong 2012 lineup with Canada’s Grimes and Aussie post-punk outfit Sunnyboys headlining the first announcement.

We caught up with Grimes aka Claire Boucher earlier this week and asked what she expected of her first trip Down Under.

“I’ve never been to Australia before but I’m really excited. I’ve also heard that Meredith is a really great festival with its own rituals and traditions and it’s really beautiful there so I’m excited that that will be my entry point.”

She also expressed interest in nature adjacent recreation activities.

“I want to go surfing or snorkeling. My Dad’s been going on and on about how amazing the ocean is in Australia so I want to do some wildlife stuff like go hiking or swimming. I don’t know if I’ll actually get time off but that’s what I’d really want to do.”

The festival takes place from December 7-9 at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre with tickets at $279+bf. To enter the ballot visit www.mmf.com.au before 10pm Sunday the 12th of August 2012, and follow the ensuing prompts.
