Volumes 2015: Second Lineup Announced

Scott Wallace
22nd Jul 2015

Picture a music festival. What comes to mind? Being hot and sweaty, paying eight dollars for a bottle of water, maybe some pretty underwhelming sound setups at the stages? 

Many people are growing tired of the music festival experience, but that's why Volumes is here to offer something different. Only in its inaugural year, and Volumes already has a killer lineup and a very very cool idea. Rather than plonking you in the middle of a field, Volumes invites you to Darlinghurst to some of Sydney's best live music venues.

The festival will take place across Oxford Art Factory (and the OAF Gallery Bar), Brighton Up Bar and The Cliff Dive, with a single wristband allowing attendees entry to any one of the venues at any time. Each venue has a lineup tailored for the venue, organised by genre and vibe to please any festival attendee.

And the lineup. The lineup! You've never seen such a crop of Australian talent.

At the top of the bill are Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders. The man they call Jack Ladder is one of Australia's best songwriters at the moment, even earning the praise of and working with international indie sweetheart Sharon Van Etten. 

The rest of the lineup is an incredible mix of indie rock, psych, funk, soul and delicious dance beats. Among the highlights - though it's very difficult to just single out a few! - are The Laurels, The Walking Who, Day Ravies, Mere Women and a selection of amazing DJs including I OH YOU DJs and Noisey DJs. Check out the full lineup below. 

See the second lineup announcement below for even more amazing bands. The focus on young, up-and-coming bands like Methyl Ethel and Low Lux that are already fixtures in Sydney's local music scene makes this one of the most exciting festivals of the year.

Tickets for Volumes 2015 are available now. The early bird release is sold out and the first release is heading the same way, so get in fast. This is something that any fan of live music will not want to miss out on. 

It's a music festival, but not as you know it, and that's exactly what we needed.
