The 2009 Laneway Festival was mired in controversy. The Melbourne event in particular was besieged by infrastructure problems, security complaints and timetable clashes that, infamously, saw hundreds of furious punters locked out of Girl Talk’s set. While the Sydney event was relatively trouble-free in comparison, post-festival organisers came under scrutiny regarding noise complaints.
so here it is:
