Stranded Festival
Stranded is kind of like Lost, but with more DJs and less disappointing twists.
Overview
With G20 blocking our streets and sucking all the fun out of the city, there's never been a better time to get out of town. And, though Stranded might not be everyone's idea of a relaxing Stradbroke retreat, if you've got great taste in music, a bit of a tolerance to sunlight, and a quick fiddy to spare, we'd say it's the perfect weekend getaway.
Hosted at McLarens Landing on South Stradbroke Island, Stranded is a music festival that throws a heap of great musicians and a flock of music-goers onto an island. It's kind of like Lost, but with more DJs and less disappointing twists. The line up this year includes Kite String Tangle, Golden Features, Tkay Maidza, Taiku Nulight and heaps more.
Though running away to an island sounds extreme, it's actually only an hour away from Brisbane. There will be parking, buses and plenty of transport routes. Plus UBER are throwing around some free rides so do your best to get in on that. Other than that just pack your bag for a normal day at the beach. You'll need sunblock, water and disposable cameras aplenty. But, be sure to wear shoes — your feet will thank you for it in the mosh.
