St Jerome Laneway Festival 2012 (are we allowed to just call it Laneways? Or is this another Rugby World Cup type thing where you can’t give nicknames to things?) has just announced it’s line up. And if you like interesting music, this is going to be a hell of a day for you.

 

The festival is happening on Monday 30^th January, 2012 (Auckland Anniversary Day), and takes place at the newly swanky Waterfront area.
