I've never heard of them but I will surely take a look.

 

And that's pretty cool that you go to the same school as him.

Slash

Social Distortion

The Gaslight Anthem

Rob Zombie

Pennywise

Avenged Sevenfold

Thirty Seconds To Mars

that is an incredible line up and im glad at least soundwave is sticking to the sound that they are known for.

 

Falls and Falls related festival line ups will be announced through the week starting from tomorrow. i've got the feeling there wont be much left for BDO after all that lol.

Got to have hope! Manic street preachers tour just got announced for novber, they were a bro chance. Looking forward to seeing them!

Haha, I can't possibly afford to go to them :\

 

That's awesome that you're going to Gorillaz too, so jealous!! I keep seeing ads on the TV for them :bomb:

 

Also, I can't go to Basement Birds anymore, which sucks, because now I have two tickets I don't need :(

oh no! have gorillaz tickets sold out yet? its impossible to tell with ticketmaster.

I don't think so. They're still actively promoting it on Channel V. No Sold Outs yet, but there's only limited seats in Melbourne I think.

 

Some massive festival announcements coming this week..... *cough* *falls*.......

"The Suburbs" only went to #6 here.

 

Bliss and eso got #1.

 

F u c k you, Australia.

yeah. falls on wednesday and sunset sounds and southbounds will follow soon after with similar, almost identical line ups. not sure when meredith announces its line up. after that its pyramid rock on the 19th.

 

not sure about homebake and BDO and good vibes.

 

are there any other big fests over summer?

i actually really enjoyed a couple of songs from their last album. havent heard any of their new stuff but relatively speaking in terms of aussie hip hop, they're not too bad.

^personally I like Hilltop Hoods more but then again, I havent really heard much of Bliss N Eso.

Sunset Sounds :awesome:

Ha, last time it was held I had never even heard of Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Editors/Grizzly Bear. Now I would love to see them sooooo much! :tongue:

 

I've never really heard much from Bliss n Esso, but all that I've heard I haven't particularly enjoyed.

Solar

Laneway

Future

V Festival (could be back in 2011)

 

Thats pretty much the lot

Also, I don't know about you guys but I don't like the new Miami Horror single nearly as much as the last two. Maybe it's because of the guest vocalist, but meh.

Yeah, thats the danger of having two lead-out singles coming out a long time before their debut album release. Im hoping the album quality isn't at fault... I might stream it before I buy the cd.
