Summary
Parklife Music Festival was an Australian music festival held between 2000-2013 in city parks around Australia in September/October.
History edit
Until 2012, Parklife was one of Australia's longest running and most popular music festivals.[1]
Starting in 2000, Parklife was known for its diverse, eclectic and ground-breaking line-ups, bringing live acts and dj's to Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.
Headline acts played in every city but the number of stages would vary from 3-5, depending on the city.
The last Parklife Festival was in 2013, when Promoters Fuzzy announced they were retiring the brand.[2] Organisers announced a new touring event called Listen Out, a national "intelligent dance event" which toured Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane.
