------------------------------------------
The
Foreshore Festival will grace our nation’s capital for the sixth year running on November 24, bringing sunny beats and shredding guitars to an otherwise quiet stretch of lawn in front of Parliament House.
With 20,000 people attending last year’s event, it may well be more traffic than the House encounters all year (including angry mobs of protesters de-shoeing Julia Gillard) but with a similar amount of fist pumping.
The lineup will be announced by Kicks Entertainment on July 5, and considering last year’s menu featured Boy & Bear, Gotye and Architecture in Helsinki with a side of beer and sun, no doubt Canberra can expect a similarly stellar 2012.
