Okay, so I finally got it done in the end. Two weeks ago now we had the 5th instalment of Froth & Fury Festival here in Adelaide. This was the first time in a central location, the previous 4 were down at the Port. It was at the Showgrounds this time, which brought about many comparisons to the Big Day Out festivals of the past. There were 2 stages on the main oval and the third, ‘the Compound’ in what I remember from my youth, many eons ago, as the Motor Pavillion. It was an enormous undertaking, which the organisers pulled off well. An excellent crowd of punters poured in and were well looked after. People came from far and wide, in fact I was talking to a couple of guys that came down from Townsville.
Bands were a varied mix, some suited to the bigger stages better than others. As usual with these sorts of gigs, everybody comes away with a surprise band that they will now check out further.
As in the past, I was graciously allowed photo access, and my best efforts through the glare and smoke are show below.
Enjoy, and we’ll hopefully see you next year.
It’s not too hard to ask is it?
