The 18th Meredith Music Festival lineup was announced today. Taking place in country Victoria from the 12th to the 14th December, the initial acts announced sound very exciting. Especially satisfying is the news that The Mountain Goats are on the bill. John Darnielle and crew were due here in April, but had to cancel due to John's health scare. This band is truly magnetic live, so even if I don't get to Victoria for the festival, a sideshow in Sydney is something to look forward to. Equally exciting is the news that Final Fantasy is on the bill. Owen Pallett is some sort of genius, so I am thrilled by this news.
