Super tempted for Foals, Local Natives, Menomena, 2DCC & Yeasayer.

looks like a pretty fun time, some bands I know I like, more bands I know of and might like. Couldn't live further away from the festival though

Was just going to post it. 1 or 2 in here that I'm keen on

"more bands I know of and might like"

That line sums me up as well.

Just like the kiwis at the Commonwealth Games Dev, you're too slow. Who tickles your fancy on here?

too much alt indie

Yeah, it's a SputFork dream.

Gotye is incredible live.

Yeah, the depth is good on this... There are many acts I wouldn't go out of my way to see, but it wouldn't be bad seeing.

Unsure of the prices for this, but I am pretty certain it's in triple figures unfortunately.

Wow, good lineup! When do tickets go on sale?

Tickets on sale the 20th of october for 130 i think.

Very keen for deerhunter and antlers.

Next week (Wednesday) I think.

Dougie, from memory, they were a bit all over the place with their timetables last year, which caused a few too many clashes. Confirm or deny?

Can confirm, was running from stage to stage, eg: Saw half of Florence so I could catch half of The xx.

looks unreal, definitely doing the sydney one. its easily the best festival of the summer season

Ill go to sideshows for Menomena, Ariel, Deerhunter, Holy F.

Yeah, Dougie... I think they have to be a little more sensible than that with their timetable. Florence & The XX were 2 of the biggest acts last year (or at least most popular) so to have them clash was a little silly.

Also, I recall Melbourne having sideshows last year, but this year its sandwiched in between 2 other states. I presume acts must come back for mid-week gigs.

Lame I really wanna see those bands but festivals suck tbh.

The thing is, once you get past 3 bands, sideshows will begin clashing anyway. They'll probably be on 2 nights & (unlike Soundwave) I'm pretty cretain they do not double up on international acts.

Just like the kiwis at the Commonwealth Games Dev, you're too slow. Who tickles your fancy on here?

Will I like this band who likes to swear?

$110 is a bit steep, but fuck it i'd rather go to this than BDO 2011.

If that's the price, it is a bit steep. Sideshows are likely to be around $55 each though. Tough call.

Price on website is 128 bucks plus bf.

Festival prices are out of control this year. $170 for BDO? Get fucked.

Arghhhh.

Was BDO $170 this year? Crikey. I didn't mind paying for Soundwave and No Sleep Till but that was easy because both have some of my favorite artists of all time playing.

And at least SoundWave is comfortable for an audience member... You can go from stage to stage & not miss a thing.

Where-as at the BDO, you actually have to see acts you don't want to see to be in a position for those you do want to see.

And deal with drunk bogans that are just there to get off their face.

Hmm, what's worse? Drunk bogans or seedy 16-year old emos?

At least 16 year old scenesters are easily flung out of one's way. The drunken bogan tends to be a little more fiesty when provoked.

Haha good point!

LOL. Sooo true.

Is that first band a reference to that Chk Chk Boom chick? If so, that's awesome.

No, !!! have been around a lot longer than she has been famous.

How do you actually SAY the name of that band lol?

Definitely going to this. Even if it's only for Deerhunter and The Antlers.

The Antlers
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti
Beach House
Blonde Redhead
Cut Copy
Deerhunter
Holy Fuck
Warpaint
Les Savy Fav
Local Natives
Yeasayer
Menomena
Two Door Cinema Club

really cool line up

Hell yeah. Love this festival.

'DaveyBoy:

at the sydney show mumford and the xx clashed, so even when they did change it around a bit people still clashed

i honestly dont mind paying the 125 bucks for laneway, its really really good

I thought you would really like this line-up Kiran. Ditto for you Alex. Where do they hold it in Sydney? Is it still in a laneway?

horseypie, I'm sure they could have got around that somehow... Probably by having The XX 3rd last on the main stage or something.

By the way, from what i have been reading, it will be Cut Copy who are the technical headliners.

they shouldve put the xx on at the same time as echo and the bunnymen, they were shit. but mumford and xx clashed at like 5:30, were fairly early on. blasko played after mumford

last year and this year in sydney its at the sydney college of the arts, each stage was in a courtyard between the college buildings. was a cool setup

The Antlers, Blonde Redhead, Deerhunter, Foals, Holy Fuck, Jenny & Johnny, Local Natives, Menomena, Pvt. Will be attending.

anyone going to this should definitely give the warpaint set a look

they're really great though i'm not sure how their sound translates live, particularly at a festival, but they've just come off a tour supporting the xx (another band you wouldn't think are amazing live) and i've heard a lot of good things

Wow, that's an insanely good lineup. Beats out Soundwave and Big Day Out easily.

Wouldn't mind going to this

That Sydney set-up sounds pretty cool. Melbourne used to be in CBD laneways but then Girl Talk's set caused an absolute crush one year, so they have moved it to inner suburbia by a river.

I've never heard of Warpaint Kiran. Sounds a bit hippy to me. LOL. Who do they sound like?

Thought you'd think that Tom.

Will I like this band who likes to swear?

That is indeed who I meant.

I'll be there and shirtless, who wants to dance with me and touch my guns?

It's the time of year for a 40 degree day too.

Word. I'm going to be dressed camper than a BDO attendee.

Hey, I was one of those last year.

This is an insane line up and is amazing value. The Laneway in Perth has a great set up. Easily the pick of the summer festivals.
