Kurt Vile – Sydney Festival

Overview

Kurt Vile ain't vile in the slightest; his music is mesmerising, with lo-fi sounds that are equal parts psych, folk and garage. April 2013 release Wakin on a Pretty Daze is the ultimate soundtrack to your balmy summer evenings, and thanks to the Sydney Festival he can score your summer evenings in person.

Set to play the Circus Ronaldo Tent at Hyde Park's Festival Village, the former War on Drugs musician has stumbled upon a growing cult following. So catch him at midnight on January 23 for his solo show to get seriously blissed out, and wake the next morning in a pretty daze.
