Finally a decent line up. And I predicted a fair few of these. Can't help but notice Best Coast aren't on it. Second announcement perhaps?

Sing him "Wake up, Mr. West, Mr. West, Mr. Fresh, Mr. by-his-self-he-so-impressed"

Could be Festival Hall here, they held the strokes earlier this year and the Temper Trap homecoming gig. The capacity is 4500.

WTF, explain.

I tend to look at perfection as the way an album flows and is structured. So: Cut Copy - In Ghost Colors Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid The two I admire most

I'm sitting at an 8/10 atm, I think there's a few too many fillers. 12 songs would have been fine. I just don't find myself sitting down and enjoying the whole thing through like I do with Funeral.

Yeah saw his tweets. STALK.

I'm picking a march tour, so may not get announced until november or december if that's the case

More on Laneway: Twitter: "There are 28 bands announced tomorrow. 20 of them are intls. Makes for our biggest contigent of os acts eva!! Yeah!" THIS EXCITES ME Not that I hate Aussie acts, but I can see them All.The.Time.

EVERYONE except MGMT.

No Caribou for Laneway. Twitter: "Rumour strong that caribou and fourtet out this summer. Not laneway sadly. We tried"

Laneway and Future (if I can deal with the SHIT crowds)

EXACTLY my thinking. I would like to do 2 festivals, since I am ditching BDO.

Head to the Aussie music thread, I've dropped a few festival hints

Oh and Future Music Festival has it's lineup announcement soon. Big rumours are Chemical Brothers Headlining and Mark Ronson on the bill.

According to their twitter: Looks like we'll be doing the singapore laneway. Psyched. Venue is wild. Hoping to run a comp and get peeps there... Singapore? Awesome that may entice a few more big acts because they get more coverage - Aus, NZ and now Singapore... plus: Wow, some killer suggestions. I want to tell you all but we're embargoed til tuesday. I just showed my best mate and he flipped. People are picking some hot acts... Pressure is on! Hope my tastes are half as good as everyones. One clue: its got gallons depth I'm excited.

Sad. I was hoping it wouldn't sell out so I could sneak in if the 2nd line up was amazing. More importantly, let's see how the Laneway Festival line up for 2011 looks this Tuesday morning at 9am when it is released!

Wow this thread's been running hot today

You're going to good vibes? Friendly Fires there too should make it fun.

I would give anything to see the Babyshambles live. I think they have better songs than the libs.

shit would be lost.

Same. I only just rediscovered how brilliant their last 2 albums are.

This demands a live performance.

Ooh I have this list on my last.fm page Bands I would desperately love to see live: Arcade Fire Babyshambles Bloc Party Blur Crowded House (Nov '10) Flight of the Conchords Kanye West The Kooks Manic Street Preachers (Nov '10) Mystery Jets (Summer '10/'11) The National (Summer '10/'11) Noel Gallagher Solo Phoenix (Sumer '11) Radiohead The Strokes The Thrills U2 (Dec '10) The Wombats

Viva La Vida is the best and most influential record ever. [/fangirl]
