“Botanical gardens, sunsets, awesome live music, friends and fun!”

That’s my memories of Sunset Sounds music festival.

When it comes to music festivals in January in Qld, you usually spend a full day in the sun and near die from heat exhaustion (yeh, I’m talking to you Big Day Out…).

Not so with Sunset Sounds!  Not only is it within the shady Botanical Gardens & Riverstage, but it’s also an afternoon start, so you’re listening to music just as the sun is setting (I’ll take a stab that’s how it got it’s name!).

It’s also held the first week of the year, when you’re heading back to work (or are still on Uni holidays) after the Xmas / New Year debarcle. You’ve got low motivation for work and high motivation to continue the holidaying & partying.

The 2011 lineup is looking awesome.
