Playground Weekender Line-Up Announced

21 November 2008 by Max Easton

Recently voted the winner of the 'Best Crowd and Atmosphere' at the 2008 Faster Louder Festival Awards, Sydney's Playground Weekender is back for 2009 with a line-up spanning two and a half decades of rock, dub, reggae and electro.

The Playground Weekender has formed a reputation of solid line-ups and extreme fun, where the line-up was congested enough to please your ears, yet sparse enough to allow you to spend hours at the festival swimming pool sinking back beverages. In 2009, Playground makes good on its musical promise with a solid first announcement with the promise of much, much more to come. The line-up thus far includes:

Primal Scream
The Streets
Cold War Kids
Grafton Primary
Soul II Soul
TZU
Nic Fanculi
Who Made Who
Salmonella Dub
Norman Jay
Tom Middleton
Ashley Beedle
Jimspter
Ewan Pearson
Mark De Clive Lowe
Paper Scissors
Russ Dewbury
