MONA FOMA has revealed the line-up for its fifth installment next year, 16-20 January 2013, with the full program due for release in December.
In addition to the David Byrne and St. Vincent headline show announced a few weeks earlier, we are super chuffed to hear that Dirty Projectors, Death Grips, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, Bickram Ghosh, Orchestra National de Jazz, Pretty Lights and Chicks on Speed will be joining the MONA FOMA celebrations where we all get to listen and discuss how excellent our collective taste in music is.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of the Best Contemporary Music Festival accolade they received just over a week ago at the Helpmann Awards, so clearly if someone makes a point that you can bring it, you do.
