Hopefully the festive hangover has worn off enough to consider your options for TAF11. Yes its on so dig out the tent music lovers. Incase this is your first update on TAF11, I'll re-cover alot of points in the previous posting to ensure everyone has the 411.There have been some huge changes/improvements/addons to the TAF11 setup and we hope they are all embraced by the attendees to create a bigger and better festival this time around. Everything that went well is of course remaining so those that are making it back-to-back TAF's you'll see some similarities.
So What's The Same?
- It will be over 2 days in our backyard with overnight camping strongly recommended. I can safely vouch for the TAF10 campers and say it was awesome!
- $25 entry fee which buys you one of the artist CDs (see next point), a Tent Plot, BBQ Gas, Toilet Paper, Lights, Shower etc.
- The lineup will be dictated by BDO. CD's will be purchased by me for the festival and distributed to ticket holders in a 'hat draw' after Sunday's headlining act closes TAF. CD purchase priority goes to artists with a 2010 release. eg: a lesser known artists new CD will be bought over Tool because Tool's last album was back in 2006.
- Tap beer available on-site. I'll leave the finer details to the Ah' Yeah brewing company but be assured your palette will remain satisfied.
What's Changed?
- TAF11 will NOT be on the same weekend as BDO. TAF11 will be on the 29th-30th January.
- New house means fresh layout! A new festival map has been created so there are no lost souls.
- We have been approached by 2nd brewery hoping to get in on TAF so your beverage choice could be even more widespread!
And What's New?
- Live performances. There will be an allocated timeslot for 'TAF Undiscovered' acts. Acoustic guitars and amplified vocals so get writing and rehearsing!
- Cook offs - BBQs, Webers, Marinades, Jerkys, "Show Us Ya Bratwurst", Best Apron Award - you get the idea!
- Merchandise and more!!!!
