Those in need of their alt fix had best start saving now, as the annual St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival has already announced its 2013 lineup. Australian audiences can expect to catch indie darlings like Alt J, Real Estate and Julia Holter, while the Singapore event (Jan 26) will comprise at least 12 of the same artists plus a couple of exclusive acts. For more info as it breaks, keep an eye on www.singapore.lanewayfestival.com.au. Before then, the second edition of Thailand’s very own Stone Free Music Festival has finally been confirmed, and it’s set to be an even bigger 2-day-2-night event, on Dec 1-2 at Wat Nongkrin, Saraburi. The lineup is packed with over 30 electronic, experimental, post-rock and noise bands like Desktop Error, Space 360, Sticky Rice, Yellow Fang, Casinotone and more.
