With a truckload of details about Parachute 2013 recently announced (worth a read if you haven't checked it), it seems people are escaping the winter-ness by thinking about summer festivals six months away.

The Big Day Out (even though it's not in NZ anymore) is going to be massive wth Vampire Weekend, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Alabama Shakes, & Avalanche City just some of the lineup. 

Start investigating those flight prices to Aussie maybe??
