Yeah, my mate is at the Auckland one at the moment. He's gonna give me the rundown of how it went.

I'm upset :(

 

Looks very good as far as I can see :P

I have written a preview of the melbourne Big Day Out on my blog:

Please feel free comment on who you're excited about seeing!

a couple of issues

 

1. just checked out the Bureau of Meteorology forecast for friday's BDO in sydney. the forecast for west sydney (which is where the BDO is held) is a max of 37C. its gonna be a long hot sweaty day!!

 

2. i really hope channel V do a good job of broadcasting the 100th BDO on saturday. im hoping a full LIVE broadcast of muse, powderfinger and the mars volta's performances . instead of crappy "highlights" throughout the night.

Fuck, you're going to BURN

 

And, yeah i agree with the Channel V. I want full too, considering it is a sold out event!

ive got a crazy hectic week ahead. rise against tomorrow BDO friday and long work days everyday before and after BDO. on top of that i've got a viral infection which just wont go away. add to that 37C temps on the day. look out for me in those articles in the paper the day after BDO outlining how many people were arrested and how many were hospitalised. not sure which section i will fall under.

Haha you'll be fine. 4 days to recover... just dont go too hard at work!

^^

 

my job involves standing pushing a few buttons and...........ahh.........standing.

Yeah, the standing part sounds difficult!

I suggest you try not to get arrested... haha. Good luck! :(

bad news regarding the channel v coverage. it will begin at 3pm on saturday and will finished at 8pm, well before powderfinger or muse hit the stage. unless they are recording the show from the night before and just broadcasting that.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si-j-x6S7js]YouTube- Crowd goes Bonkers - Dizzee Rascal Big Day Out Akl 2010[/ame]

I suggest seeing Dizzee Rascal :shocked2:

Ill be there to throw another deoderant can.

just read a report that dizzee rascal was almost bottled off at the gold coast bdo. i always thought that he was a very very bad choice for the main stage alongside lily allen. havent they seen the footage of what the infamous Reading Festival crowd did to G-unit with 50 cent a few years back.

 

apparently lily forgot to wear pants on stage. bloody scouser.

 

anyways back to talking about musicians. i went to see Rise Against last night at the Enmore in sydney and what a spectacular show it was. i admit that i only know a handful of their songs but that didnt really matter last night. ive been to quite a few gigs now and atmosphere-wise this was one of the best. for most of the glorious 75mins, the crowd drowned out the powerful vocalist in fits of passion and raw energy. feel like sacrificing a great spot at BDO for muse just to see them again!!

Ha yeah I listened to them on triple J this morning, they were on doing an interview, and thought it was an amazing gig. Good to hear you enjoyed yourself.

 

Well, I still think dizzy is a good inclusion, but he needs to be in the boiler, NOT main stage.

 

As for Lily Allen, she is better without pants.

 

And Melbourne's looking at 34 degrees for next tues. GROAN

with those sorts of temps wouldnt be surprised if you guys get a massive downpour sometime during the day. knowing melbournean weather, anything can happen.

It can, and a downpour when Muse play would be INSANE.

^^would be AWESOME.

The day after's only going to get to 24! :angry: Stupid Melbourne weather.

Aaaanyway. I fly down to Melbourne in 4 hours!!! :D :D

24 is like...the hottest it can get here :lol:

nice photooos

an update on the weather forecast for first BDO in sydney. previously i said 37C, just watched the news and it will actually be 40C!!

 

i hope Muse play "Sunburn" hahahaha.

BDO 2010 is a MA15+ event headlined by Muse.

 

i wouldnt called 55 000 drunk sunburnt bogans as a "mature audience". the fact that they are there to watch a grown man who only ever thinks about aliens and conspiracies, doesnt help.

40? Tomorrow? God, best of luck my friend.

and thats the measurement they make of the "shade temperature" not in the direct sun. i dont even want to think about what it will be like in the middle of the main arena! but as long as its a clear sky and there isnt a hot breeze, it wont be disastrous.
