This festival was held at the Doomben horse racing track with main stages in the middle of the track and other smaller stages elsewhere in the Brisbane Turf Club complex.
Kraftwerk played under a large tent from 8.30-10pm. There were probably only 1,000 people there to see them. They were probably a little too 'old school' for all the kids in furry flouro wear.
It had been raining heavily all day and the site was a bog. Not sure if all those on eccies were too concerned though.

Other acts on the Global Gathering bill-
Mark Ronson & The Version Players, Fischerspooner (DJ set), Gorillaz Sound System, Sasha, Above & Beyond, Felix Da Housecat, The Orb, LA Riots, Larry T, ATB, Dirty South, The Potbelleez...
