AN AWESOME EXCUSE TO LOOSEN THE TIE: V FESTIVAL

If grey is the new black, and 40 the new 30, then the end of the long Australian summer is without a doubt the new time to party. Enter the hands-down musical parade of the year, V Festival 2008, presented by the grouse folks at Virgin Mobile.

Set to light up the stage for 08 are:
The Smashing Pumpkins / Duran Duran
Queens of the Stone Age
The Jesus & Mary Chain / *AIR / The Presets
Modest Mouse / Róisín Murphy / Cut Copy
CSS / Hot Hot Heat / The Rakes
Glass Candy / Plug in City / The Tough Alliance

This year’s event also delivers the swellest DJs from the USA, Germany and anywhere else in the world where the party reigns supreme. As promised the line up positively sizzles: DOOM & HOODRAT, two of Sydney’s most loveable dancefloor urchins and one half of the musical zeitgeist that is the Bang Gang, minimal house and leftfield disco from MUNK GOMMA), Chicago’s all-in party FLOSSTRADAMUS (USA), the dirty house and disco of NYC’s MIKE

SIMONETTI (ITALIANS DO IT BETTER) and the one man party machine that is Melbourne’s ANDEE VAN DAMAGE.

To top it off, just as they did last year it goes without saying that V Festival sites will carry full and correct environmental accreditation. If you too are keen to be more green, hit the ENVIRONMENT tab on V Festival website and watch their comprehensive plans blossom into action. Check out vfestival.com.au for more.
