Overview
News of a boutique Australian festival returning is rare as hen's teeth these days. The Central Coast's truly underrated, sustainable and naturally stunning festival Mountain Sounds is set to return for another year. Heading back to the pretty, pretty spot of Mount Penang Parklands in Kariong, Mountain Sounds has locked in Saturday, February 21 for its 2015 instalment.
With the lineup set for announcement on Thursday, October 23, interest in the boutique, sustainable festival has sparked once again — last year's festival saw Midnight Juggernauts, Ball Park Music, Emma Louise, Sticky Fingers, Jinja Safari, LDRU, and Cosmo's Midnight among others (including a farewell to Snakadaktal). Local strummers should get their demos ready too, as a state-wide competition is set to be launched in the coming weeks to give one live band and one electronic act the chance to play alonsgide Australia's hyped up artists.
Giving a high five to the environment once more, the locally-founded Mountain Sounds is again set to take great care in minimising the environmental impact and carbon footprint of the festival. There'll also be silent discos and campsite parties curated by the team, who all grew up on the Central Coast.
With tickets on sale Thursday, October 23 (lineup day) and sitting around 80 beans, this is an end-of-summer festival worth the measly dosh for.
Mountain Sounds Festival is on Saturday, February 21 at Mount Penang Parklands, Kariong, NSW. Tickets on sale on Thursday, October 23, from $79 +BF and available over here.
