In extremely sad news word has emerged from the Pukkelpop music festival over the weekend that on Friday the lead singer of emerging Synth Pop group Ou Est Le Swimming Pool fell to his death backstage.

Charles Haddon jumped to his death on Friday after performing on stage with the band. Earlier in their performance Haddon had dived from the stage into the crowd, outraging them when a young girl had to be removed with serious leg and back injuries due to being landed on*. Ou Est Le Swimming Pool were due to play at Parklife in a months time.

If the weather recently is anything to go by summer is on the way. Which means its time to start planning for the festival period which is just around the corner. But who the hells playing where, whens it all going down and how the heck do i get there you may ask?

Well, Over the next couple of weeks we will be showcasing many festivals coming up in Australia and New Zealand over the the summer period. Tickets are now on sale for a lot of these so hopefully this guide will help you to decide which festivals attend.

We will be looking at their line ups, showcasing new tunes from the artists, fuelling speculation and let you know a range of other essential festival details.

We will kick this off next week with Parklife and move through others such as Rhythm and Vines and Stereosonic. If you haven't heard of some of the bands that have been announced then this will be a good opportunity for you to have a listen and get excited.
