Headliners to come tomorrow I think.

$150? Haha.

 

[MelbourneCrow]

The last two undid all the good of Royksopp. Will have to be some great headliners to ge tme through the gate.

Obviously one of the three announced tomorrow will be Kasabian, so its only really two to come in that announcement.

 

[pjcrows]

That is dismal.

 

[Dewy006]

Wow! What a big piling steam of meh

Not paying $150 to see Battles, my god. It gets worse every year.

 

[SA HAWK]

That is dismal.

I agree. The headliners would want to be good to get me to go.

I am glad Pearl Jam aren't playing bdo i want them to come back when they have a new album out and do an arena tour.

Those days might be over though.

 

[heypenny]

Yeah its not too bad, have to wait on the headliners.

Best Coast, Battles, Girl Talk, Odd Future and Royksopp would be good to see.

Think I may have to check out Foster the People's album now.

 

[ChrisFooty]

I do not think i will be going this year. Remember the first annoucement has to be good. last year's second annoucement was only like six bands.

 

[NERDY]

Yeah its not too bad, have to wait on the headliners.

Best Coast, Battles, Girl Talk, Odd Future and Royksopp would be good to see.

Think I may have to check out Foster the People's album now.

You definitely should. "Torches" is one of the catchiest albums of 2011. Be sure to get the three bonus songs as well. Equally as good.

Very average line-up though.

 

[NMFCMUFC]

Parklife was 150, could be worse

 

[Ninty]

Big meh.

 

[Hawks1523]

Pretty terrible. Although if rumor of SOAD is true that alone gets me there

 

[volcboy]

Soundgarden confirmed

http://www.soundgardenworld.com/

 

[Donstuie]

Although I think I'd prefer to go see one of their side shows, as none of the other acts inspire anything in me but meh.

 

[MelbourneCrow]

Kasabian as well as Soundgarden now - this thing just got a whole lot better. One more to be nominated this morning.

Serge from Kasabian was on and said it was 'fooking hot' or something like that last time they were here and looking forward to an evening slot. Me too.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

You know what. I'm keen to see Kanye. I'm pretty impressed with the headliners.

 

[mike_]

Kanye for headliner.

Can somebody tell me what the hell is the obsession with this guy? It's like they just plucked this guy from a fast food store, gave him a whole bunch of hipster clothes and voila. Why does everyone flock like sheep to worship this guy, it's lame and it just feels forced.

Only bands that interest me are Foster the People, Kasabian and Soundgarden, but I don't like Soundgarden enough to buy a ticket.

I'm hoping we'll get some quality international acts like Two Door Cinema Club and White Lies named during the second line up, however recent years tell me that I shouldn't hold my breath.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I hope Kasabian do a side show because the BDO lineup released is underwelming and I probably won't go.

 

[rizzo]

Kanye sideshow?

 

[james Dean]

Why didn't Kasabian headline in '10 Their last album is kinda meh

 

[Hawks1523]

Lol, Kanye?

Fail.

 

[Flinch]

Lol, Kanye?

Fail.

He is a musical genius. (South Park reference)

Line up is average, will wait upon second announcement. Although Odd Future is going to be quite entertaining.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Can't see myself going.

Might go to a Cage the Elephant sideshow if they have one.

 

[dude316]

Word is...Soundgarden, and they would rock.

Do i win free tickets?

 

[thecatattack]

What a shit ****ing line-up!

I'm guessing there'll be more announcements to come?

 

[dude316]

I've been to about ten Big Day Outs, and i reckon last year was one of my favourites even though there wasn't the big must see headliners of some other years. I found just wandering around and seeing bands i never heard can be better than having a plan.

As for next year, i'd happily pay $150 to see Soundgarden and kasabian.
