Harvest 2012 @ The Botanic Gardens, Brisbane, 18.11.2012: Part 2
Looking back over 2012’s music festivals, it was definitely the year of disappointing festivals. Whether a case of average line-ups or on-the-day issues, none really delivered as an overall package, even though there were obvious pockets of quality bands and quality sets at each festival.
