Press release:

The second lineup announcement has been made for the Lines of Flight festival in Dunedin, March 2019.

In addition to the previous acts, we are excited to add the following: a very rare performance by guitar drone legend Roy Montgomery, plus sets by incendiary trio Carter/Morley/Yeats, Wellington’s impressionistic Waterfalls, Dunedin’s no-wave poppers Negative Nancies, and Anita Clark’s violin/vocal project Motte. Dunedin psych improv band Eye (including founding member Nathan Thompson), Smith, Longmore & Meung, Radio Cegeste, and Kiseki Uragi complete the lineup.

The festival will be held over four shows, to be held at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and the Port Chalmers Pioneer Hall. Each show will have separate musical acts, with many accompanied by projected experimental film.
