Parklife 2009 announces Empire Of The Sun as headliner

As I sit here writing this piece, I can't help but continue to look at the lineup over and over and over again, each time getting more and more excited. Don't worry about the festival itself, think about the sideshows!!

Thanks to Fuzzy, in a couple of months Australia will get to witness the likes of The Cool Kids, Crystal Castles, Erol Alkan, Junior Boys, La Roux, Metric, Metronomy, The Rapture, Tiga and our very own Empire of The Sun LIVE!

Yeah thats right, you heard correct. Erol Alkan, Junior Boys, La Roux, Metric and even Empire of The Sun will be playing their first ever shows (for some, their first ever live show) in Australia. Not sure if you're the same as us, but we certainly in the office are jumping for joy at the thought of seeing some of these acts. The idea of seeing Junior Boys and Empire of The Sun play live, 5 metres away from us, causes some of us to premature. Sorry - we said it, but its true.

So, get yourselves prepared for what could be the start of a really special summer.
