SAE Joins Forces with Hot Summertime Music Festival
15th December 2009
SAE Institute is thrilled to be a part of next year’s Laneway Festival, which boasts an impressive line-up of legendary musical acts such as Black Lips, Echo & The Bunnymen, Dappled Cities and Sarah Blasko. From humble beginnings in 2004 Laneway, with its recipe of “great music, unique spaces and boutique size”, has fast become a favourite on the summer festival circuit.
Film and Audio students from each SAE campus have been given the highly sought after chance to get involved with next year's festivals (held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth), filming and helping out with sound checks, mic placement and stage set-up. The students will work under supervision of the sound/site production personnel, gaining skills and learning from real industry professionals, as well as mingling, networking and checking out the some of the acts.
Laneway kicks off in January and tours nationally, bringing some of the best and freshest live bands to a city near you. This collaboration will be a fabulous opportunity for our students to combine some work and play, and get a taste of what it’s like to work behind the scenes of a live music event.
