Australia's answer to Woodstock features more than 50 bands giving it up for thousands of sweating, pulsating, polyester-clad fans each year. Performance areas include the Boiler Room and the Lily Pad (the place to go for a bit a of crowd surf) as well as smaller stages. Last year included performances by The White Stripes, Garbage, Crystal Method and numerous local artists. Tickets sell out months in advance so get in early or forget it. This is alternative music at its best.
