Saturday night Fever
YOU GIVE ME FEVER… Ladies and Gents! You’ve seen the first line-up, and no doubt have begun considering spring cleaning the back shed to gather your camping goods as Mother Nature begins to bless us with more festival friendly weather! But, before you gather those tent pegs and plan your meandering journey to Lorne or Marion Bay, ensure you know what is in store for 2007’s festivities on the 29th!
Come this date, we bring to you… ‘Saturday Night Fever’…featuring a whole swag of fun and frivolities. Not only will you ‘beat the rush’ and set up camp a day earlier, but you’ll also be privy to the outrageously good entertainment! Lorne will enjoy the funky pop’n’dance maestros GROOVE ARMADA (UK) who shall perform at Lorne on the 29th (and only on the 29th for Vic) bringing with them a 12 piece band!!; alongside the rock’n’roll lashings offered by MAGIC DIRT; the sweet’n’soulful croons of SARAH BLASKO; and the great, hairy and clever mastermind collaboration of Harry Angus (you may know him from somewhere else!), and Jan Skubiszewski’s, JACKSON JACKSON! With more acts for the 29th up our sleeve, soon to be announced!!
As a sneak peak to this years coveted festival within a festival, THE FALLS ARTS VILLAGE returns, featuring an array of artists, music, food stalls and festivities for your aural, auditory and visual pleasures alike. Enjoy this piece of paradise with a touch of tai chi or a cup of chai tea perhaps? Or just a good-ole’ belly laugh whilst you’re entertained by troupes of comedians and artists from across our fair country? Joining us this year …. Having just returned from a huge road-trip through the European Festivals is, Feetbus (a bus like no other)! Run on human power, going to wherever you are – from the coffee shop to the nearest toilet, from one Village Venue to another, from dancing the tango to the Bustop (Vic Tas); the Lovely Ladies from The Caravan Of Love return to Lorne Falls after a year away with a brand new show about shoes… (and sex), songs, games, seriously funny shtick (Vic only); the undisputed runaway hit of the Melbourne Comedy Festival and returning from a monster Northern American tour, Die Rotten Punkte are brother sister Teutonic pop with a tendency to tantrums and on stage food fights (Tas only). More to be announced!
Perhaps a relaxing night of films tickles your fancy? Reclining in the big top at Lorne, or at Films In The Field in Marion Bay for a movie marathon is a great way to turn your festival into a three night sojourn…a home away from home! So pack your comfy-cushion, sleeping bag and pop corn and wind-down after no doubt, a hectic December! (Films to be announced shortly)
Tickets for the ‘Saturday Night Fever’ festivities on the 29th of December will go on sale at the same time as full festival tickets via the website only. You cannot purchase this ticket by itself.
