Playground Weekender Artist Announcement
5 February 2010 by Soulshine News
With only a couple of weeks left before the fourth Playground Weekender rises in Sydney's North-West, yet another act has been added to the already very large festival line-up.
We got an email this afternoon from the electronic heart of the Playground Weekender with a few pieces of good news and exciting murmurings. Check out the latest line-up announcement and the details of Playground's annual fancy dress parade southwards down this page.
"Playground Weekender is proud to announce a further addition to the much revered line-up in the shape of SPACE INVADAS - one of the hottest international soul acts in the world right now. SPACE INVADAS are a collaboration that sees UK soul singer Steve Spacek take on the role of vocalist and funk, soul and hip hop guru Katalyst, that of producer.
And it’s not just their productions that are creating ripples. See how their live performances have fast tracked the SPACE INVADAS soul train onto the Australian festival circuit A-List, at the Playground Weekender."
SOCO CARNIVAL FANCY DRESS PARADE
The Playground Weekender and Southern Comfort present the SoCo Carnivale Fancy Dress Parade. Hosted by The New Orleans Bingo! Show, there will be prizes (including CD packs and tickets to 2011 Playground Weekender) for;
-
¥ King of the Carnivale (best male)
¥ Queen of the Carnivale (best female)
¥ Carnivale Krewe (best group)
Entry Details: 7PM Saturday 20th Feb at the SoCo Carnivale Stage

Good news right? With tickets selling fast, it's high time to get around to nabbing yourself a couple, or failing that, you can enter Soulshine's competition for a ticket to the festival running in the WIN section back up at the top of the page (off you scroll.)
