pretty impressed with the webcast line up. got interpol, tame impala, foals, two door cinema club, the strokes, national, kings of leon, mumford & sons, elbow and bright eyes. looking forward to sitting back and enjoying the webcast this weekend :)

the funny thing is that Ringo didnt drum on a lot of the beatles stuff. sometimes it was just john and paul in the studio so since paul was a perfectly adequate drummer he would do the drums. poor ringo lol

but they dont broadcast splendour on tv.......... triple j will have a bit of it.

as long as you don't mind spending $700 on the event then yeah go ahead (all costs included). i'm going but i'm going cos i like about 20 bands on the lineup so its quite worth it for me. and how old are you? if you're under 18 i think you need to take a parent or something which would really suck cos the festival is 4 days partying and dragging a parent around for all that time would suck. but yeah if the money isnt an issue. go for it. and i dont think any of us should get too far ahead of yourselves.getting tickets to this event aren't always surety.

cos he is kanye fucking west and he dont need no pussy cos he's on his own dick :laugh3:

i think the guys on fasterlouder are having a pretty fair discussion on the ticket prices. if you compare splendour to other massive festivals it's actually not that expensive and you can't exactly be happy about coldplay and kanye and then complain about the price because they would be a big part of the reason why it's so expensive. i'm not happy about it either but going to splendour this year makes sense to me because a bulk of the lineup is bands i like but won't be willing to pay 60 bucks to see at a sideshow.

some very good choices here particularly Monster and Killing the Name of. both of those would be up there for me alongside this.

video hits always do a special on splendour. would be rather nice to meet Fuzzy, shes cute but they would probably want to ask about coldplay and i would be like "uhhh can we talk about kanye instead?" :lol:

THIS! just found out the other day that dave didn't actually drum on this song. broke my heart in so many ways its not funny. :( and yeah keith moon was the man. ok the embed didnt work. but i was referring to song for the dead lol EDIT: it did

not quite. headliners are splendour typically do an 80min set maybe a tad longer. which i guess isn't that much shorter than a normal cp concert.

i'm very curious to see what they decide to play at splendour. if they want to please the predominantly triple j crowd it will have to be nothing past 2002 material. if they do they're normal show i guess it will be a mix of hits plus the odd new song.

i raised this point on fasterlouder as well albeit arguing a different point. you look at those 3 headliners. they would be good enough to top any bill in the world. but in the northern hemisphere you'll find acts like that playing festivals that have over 60 000 people there every day. but at splendour you get those massive headliners (and an overall lineup that isnt far off) with only 30 000 people there. this means that people are more willing to spend the big bucks which then enable the organisers to throw the big money at the big names. hence you have yourself one very very good festival. here is who i wanna see at splendour. i've put a (0) next to the ones i really really wanna see. COLDPLAY (0) KANYE WEST (0) REGINA SPEKTOR MOGWAI GLASVEGAS (0) THE GRATES (0) MODEST MOUSE THE MIDDLE EAST (0) KAISER CHIEFS (0) JAMES BLAKE (0) KELE ELBOW (0) ESKIMO JOE CHILDREN COLLIDE (0) CUT COPY THE PANICS (0) FRIENDLY FIRES (0) THE VACCINES BOY AND BEAR (0) GOTYE CLOUD CONTROL (0) SPARKADIA (0) THE JEZEBELS LEADER CHEETAH THE HOLIDAYS (0) GUINEAFOWL

only 15 acts this year i want to see compared to the 33 last year. but this year has coldplay and kanye which makes all the difference.

well im excited about the webcast. these are the artists they're promising to show at this stage Nas & Damian Marley The National The Black Keys Gogol Bordello Interpol Mumford & Sons Duran Duran Bright Eyes Cut//Copy Cold War Kids PJ Harvey

they just announced their australian tour in late july early august.

i'll be very surprised if they announce an act as big as beady eye in the second announcement. if they do you won't be hearing any complaints from me.

my chances of going have gone from about 10% last night to about 40% now. won't be booking flights until i have full confirmation from friends. really hoping coldplay doesnt clash with any of my other favourite acts on the line up (which for the record nothing compared to last years) and as disgusted as i am with the ticket prices i think i'll end up getting the camping ticket because its only $120 extra which is less than what 4 nights accommodation and travel to the site will cost me.

just to clear something up. it WILL be coldplay's only aus show.

kanye is there too. could we possibly see Homecoming performed live?

fuck the rest of the line up KANYE IS THERE. I AM THERE!!

CONFIRMED FOR SPLENDOUR 2011 IN AUSTRALIA!!!

Splendour in the Grass 2011 Official Lineup COLDPLAY JANES ADDICTION PULP Regina Spector (only show for 2011) The Hives Modest Mouse The Living End Architecture in Helsinki Bliss n Eso Grouplove The Kills Gomez Elbow Friendly Fires Glasvegas Cornershop The Vaccines

the big question is. will it be there only show down here? they have nothing between splendour and october.

Three lung park kills them off in the next play.
