Phew......it took a game of 'mercy' to try and squeeze this one out of the promoters.
Music Universe is happy they won the game and can now reveal that The Streets is the first headliner locked in for the one-and-only Playground Weekender.
After producing 3 albums already, there was talk that Mike Skinner of The Streets might be retiring, however listening to his fourth album 'Everything Is Borrowed', it seems he aint going anywhere soon. He is a lyrical master and puts on one of the best live shows going around. The Streets live band is also well-attuned to the Australian festival circuit, they've toured a number of times, so expect an antz-in-my-pants kind of party at Playground.
So what should one expect from Playground Weekender? Well, it is held at the picturesque Del Rio Resort on the Hawkesbury River, a true festival location. This year’s event hosted the likes of Maximo Park, Ian Brown, The Wombats and Kruder & Dorfmeister, so you can expect an equally mouth watering line-up in 2009.
Stay tuned to Music Universe for the first official line up announcement on Thursday 6 November.
