HOPEFULLY Splendour in the Grass!!!

One Day Like This - Elbow Spinning in Daffodils - Them Crooked Vultures Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs Tahiti - Bat for Lashes Where Did All the Love Go? - Kasabian Speed of Sound - Coldplay Map of the Problematique - Muse Unfinished Business - White Lies Empire - Kasabian Fluorescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys

I counted 34... it's a pity none of them want to do sideshows in Brisbane... if I miss out on Splendour tickets then I'll miss out on seeing anyone! :( In better news... Kasabian are coming back out to Aus!! :dance: Kasabian Australian Tour 23 Jul Festival Hall, VIC 24 Jul Hordern Pavilion, NSW 25 Jul Brisbane Riverstage (Botanic Gardens), QLD 28 Jul Thebarton Theatre, SA 30 Jul Metro City, WA And the Queensland show is the night before my birthday :lol:

They're coming back out to Aus!!!!! :D :D :D And on the day before my birthday :smug:

:dead: ... Tickets on sale 6 May. I'm going to try my best to get one! I hate to think how much it'll be though...

Ah that sucks! I'm going to go get stuff signed by the Butterfly Effect and Yves Klein Blue purely for the sake of it, cos I'll be in the city already :P As long as queues aren't too long, that is...

Btw Carla, your avi is amazing :lol: It makes me laugh every time I see it! :laugh3:

Anyone heard the new Basement Birds song (here)? I quite like it...

:dead:

Lol yeah I know that. But I'm trying to remain optimistic :P I managed to get bdo tix so I'm *hoping* I'll be able to get splendour tix :P

Yeah I was surprised too... at the moment though Mumford and Sons, the Strokes and Temper Trap are enough to pull me in :P as well as the fact I've never been to a camping festival before! I'm also hoping for a couple of better acts too though.

^^Haha congrats :P A little random, but this record is definitely my favourite so far to drive to. And 'Cigarettes in the Theatre' is a perfect song for running to :P

From FasterLouder today: Though the official Splendour line up is still to be officially confirmed we can add another name to our growing list of acts for the festival – former Verve leadman Richard Ashcroft and his new band The United Nations of Sound. The leak has come via Ashcroft’s official website where the news section reveals that “Richard Ashcroft’s new band RPA & The United Nations of Sound have confirmed their first live dates [including] the bills of Summer Sonic Festival in Japan and Splendour in The Grass Festival in Australia.” The bands debut album, intriguingly produced by Chicago hip-hop pioneer No I.D, is due for release in early June. Goldfrapp’s tour drummer has also accidentally leaked that the pop act will be gracing the Splendour lineup, while a Pixies facebook update suggests they’ll also be in attendance. And of course there are those suspiciously-close-to-Splendour tours from Mumford and Sons, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Temper Trap and The Strokes.

I've haven't been able to stop listening to these guys ever since I first heard their promo a couple of months ago. Definitely one of my favourites of the year so far!

Sad news, but I suppose they've had a good run. I'll definitely be at the Brisbane show. I think you'd be lucky for that to happen, especially seeing as this will be their last tour ever so tickets will be in high demand.

^^ I can't believe The Ketchup Song made it in at number 11 :confused: LOL

In other news... Lisa Mitchell is touring in April/May. Did everyone know that?

I am so not going to let you forget that in that case :P

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! :D

You're only saying that because you see them at the start of the tour! :P

The Strokes

Yeah well I'm seeing them on the 11th, so I'll let you know what to expect :P Hopefully they'll just sleep on the plane!

It's ok, because I get to see them now too!! I still think it's weird that they're playing in vic on the 1st may, then all the way to townsville on the 2nd, and then back down to vic for the 4th/5th :P

Lisa Mitchell - Wonder

BUMP It was a month yesterday til my sister sees them play in Townsville :P I'm think I'm more excited for her than she is for herself :freak: And someone just started playing 'Horchata' in one of the floors below me... awesome :P
