Meredith Music Festival 2008

About the festival

2008. The Wet One. The 18th Meredith Music Festival, held December 12 to 14, 2008, at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre, and it rained. Victoria's wettest day of the year, the wettest weekend in the district for 28 years, rain for 36 hours straight. Meredithians rallied anyway, and by Saturday lunchtime it was clear the ultimate garment was a wetsuit, with several people getting around in just that. Musically, the weekend was won by The Bronx on the Saturday, defiant and firing up the crowd regardless of the mud. Other supreme notables included Man Man, Regurgitator, Holy Fuck, Tame Impala, Saul Williams, Architecture in Helsinki, the return of Muscles and Adam Green. MGMT finished off their world tour with a set at Meredith, spending their final moments of that tour sharing a couple of beers in their Tarago and looking at The Supernatural Amphitheatre from afar. Cold and wet, but lots of fun.
