Empire of The Sun headlines Full Noise Music Festival

PNAU's Nick Littlemore and The Sleepy Jacksons' Luke Steele’s sensational project, Empire Of The Sun, has been announced as the headliner for a brand new festival set to take place in Townsville this October. Empire of The Sun have come on leaps and bounds since releasing their debut album and despite reports that Littlemore won't play live with the band, they could be one of the best live performances of the year.

Full Noise Festival was dreamt up by brothers Karl and Mark Vass who hope that the event will fill “…a very real need in the market, the need for music lovers throughout North Queensland to see and celebrate live music, to experience new bands and sound creators, and importantly, for the emerging and established artists of the area to play with and alongside the country’s best”.

The one day-event will be held at the Townsville & District Rugby Union Club and is set to feature a numberof big-name Aussie acts. Old schoolers Frenzal Rhomb, Melbourne indie band British India and WA's psychedelic wonder kids Tame Impala will all be taking stage at the festival.
