Laneway Festival @ RNA Showgrounds

As I hit the gate at Laneway 2023 I was reminded of that old quip ‘Q: why do people like me go to restaurants and not rock festivals? A: Because I’ll never look around at a restaurant and go f*****ck, I am the oldest person here.’ Which is exactly what I was feeling walking into this year’s festival experience, wondering whether I was really up for the punishment of ten hours of drunken jostling in the thirty-five degree heat.
