Haha, really? I'd rather have an amazing 30min set than a dull 90min set. (Not sure that's entirely what you meant, but hey).

 

Stupid work. But hey, Sunday pay :awesome:

Also, the banjo player's beard is horrendous.

hahahah and he's a tad weird too!

 

well the thing is i usually only go see a band if i like their albums or a ton of their singles. and i'm talking about major bands here. for example if i go see arctic monkeys tomorrow and they decide to play almost every song off their new album and a few from each other album and end up doing a 30 song set. in my mind there's no way that could beat a 18 song set regardless how intense it is.

 

for example this M&S set here. 70mins in now, only 1 album behind them and there hasn't been a dull moment yet.

Awwwww :heart: they're singing to me! :P

Seriously though, I understand what you mean. But if a band's good live, they're going to be good regardless so of course a longer set is going to be better.

now this is what i call some knee slapping fun!

I've got the biggest grin on my face right now :D

alrighty Arcade Fire time. i'll watch their entrance then leave.

 

nice watching with you Grace :)

 

and can i just add. imo Bonnaroo is the only festival in the world that can hold a candle to glastonbury.

Aww ok, have fun at work! You'll be sure to hear all about it, I'm sure.

 

Likewise, Jamie :nice:

alrighty. 2 days down 1 to go. I've only ever seen The Strokes do "festival sets" before so it will awesome to be able to watch a full 1.5hr set.

bit of festival money news

 

Coachella 2011

April 15-17, 2011

Total Revenue - $US24,993,698

Attendance - 75 000

So, when's the next webcast? :awesome:

next good one is Lollapalooza. but in the meantime i'll be looking for a place to stream Glasto off bbc. rock werchter used to have an awesome multi stage webcast so with some luck that might return but it might be a regional only thing. i'll post footage from all the other telecast festivals as they happen.

 

but Pitchfork Fest in mid july is usually webcast. so thats the next stop for us :)

Sweeet. I'm really going to be relying on you when it comes to these things, I'd really have no idea about any festivals going on outside Aus besides the lineups!

Thanks for doing such a great job so far though! :hug:

awww you're very welcome. i'm glad someone else is just as interested as i am.

 

people dream about going to paris, london, madrid, NY, tokyo etc etc. i dream about going to roskilde, t in the park, coachella and bonnaroo lol.

Add Glastonbury to that list, and I'm the same :D

 

I'm sure I'd enjoy the local scenery at those places too, though :p

oh yeah that was a very very small sample of what i want to do. Glasto is my number 1 and i will be sure to be there in 2013. 2014 at the latest!! i gotta do a few more aussie fests first just to get the hang of the experience.

^ *Aussie camping festivals? Have you been to any yet or will Splendour be your first? :awesome:

 

Wahhh that's so close! That's awesome, going to Glasto will be such an amazing experience!!

Going there one day would just complete my life. It definitely won't be happening as early as 2013 (that's the year I'll graduate) but one day, I will go!

yeah splendour is my first. and im going to try and get a group together for Falls this new years. something tells me they might just get a freken awesome line up.
