Patrons of last year’s Splendour In The Grass festival have no doubt come across this most unsubtle Jagermeister installation before – a full-scale indoor festival bar, themed as an alpine hunting lodge replete with fireplace, wood panelling and (of course) mounted animal trophies.

Well, they’ve patched up the floor and shipped it to Sydney for inclusion at 2012′s Sydney Festival Garden. Every night throughout the festival there’s free music (live and otherwise) and lotsa Jagermeister to drink…. just don’t ask for any shots/bombs/shooters/nips. This is Sydney Festival don’t ya know, not Creamfields.

Last night’s launch saw Tim Finn perform a bevy of original, Split Enz and Crowded House tracks to a very ‘adult contemporary’ crowd of Cool Dads and me.

There’s great music on til late throughout Sydney Festival at the Jagermeister Hunting Lodge including performances from Brous, Josh Pyke and Emma Louise.
