After an epic turnout at Canberra’s Foreshore Music Festival, dedicated fans rocked on in the Nation’s Capital to Melbourne’s The Getaway Plan as part of their ‘’Requiem’’ tour held at the UC Refectory. Despite potentially being one of the dustiest Sundays all year, keen fans prevailed and rocked well into the night.

Special guests included Hands Like Houses, Gatherer and Break Even who all demonstrated a mutual love with the audience for The Getaway Plan which prolonged the crowds excitement.

Woodstock ’69, Homebake 96, Glastonbury almost every year: all festivals that have become legend, in part, because of the wet. Foreshore may not be quite on the same stage as those epic festivals but the flooded chaos of the crowds during Boy and Bear’s set on Saturday wasn’t far off.

Unlike the sweltering oven-baked heat of Big Day Out, there was no fear of suffering heatstroke or having my face melt off in the burning sun at Foreshore this year. Despite a sunny start, it wasn’t long before the skies darkened and mosh pits became the ideal location for making mudpies.
