Laneway Timetable + Songs I'm looking forward to seeing

The Laneway timetable is out, what do you think, many clashes or not too bad? I've got a few decisions to make between Japandroids or Divine Fits (most likely Japandroids), The Men or Real Estate (depends on if I want an agressive or a chilled out vibe) and Nicholas Jaar or Tame Impala though seeing as I've been thrashing Lonerism and Innerspeaker this summer that decision will most likely go with the latter. Here's the timetable for those who haven't seen it.

Also can be found here. Tickets are still available, pick them up from Real Groovy, Ticketmaster or http://auckland.lanewayfestival.com.au/. The new stage also looks promising, with Auckland electro-duo Golden Axe added to the line-up. I recently saw them open for Unknown Mortal Orchestra at Cassette 9 which was great, and although I'm most likely going to be seeing either Jessie Ware or Bailterspace at that time I'll try check them out for 20 mins before Yeasayer begin.

There's also an after party at Cassette 9 featuring another awesome local band Rackets, that you can check out here as well as The Eversons and a DJ set from New York-noise rock group A Place To Bury Strangers. Check the after party details out here. What an action packed day it shall be.

I will most likely be spending a lot of my time over the next week listening to Laneway artists gearing up for the day, so in the meantime, here's a few songs I'm looking forward to hearing (assuming the band's decide to play them) on the day.

Jessie Ware - If You're Never Gonna Move


Tame Impala - Elephant 


The Men - Open Your Heart


Japandroids - Young Hearts Spark Fire


 Bat For Lashes - A Wall



Real Estate - It's Real



Alt-J - Breezeblocks


Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built


Tame Impala - Desire Be Desire Go


As well as loads more, for Laneway is just as much a day to get introduced to bands that could becoming future favourites, as well as seeing current favourite emerging or recent artists. See you all there!
