beastie boys and franz yay

I'll go if mongie is there.

And if air, beastie boys, presets, franz ferdinand, PJ Harvey, electric six and depeche mode are there at the same time.

Edit: ok... thanks for deleting post.

f*** yeah.. lineup sounds awesome already.

never been to a splenda before, def going this year.

<3 air

where did you hear those rumors? some of them don't really seem to be found anywhere else and jurassic 5 broke up last year i'm pretty sure... cut chemist was just doing shows in bris with dj shadow because they're all doing solo projects now.

check these two links for the line ups for Fuji Rock and Summer Sonic, two japanese festivals which are on before splendour and historically have tended to be fairly good indicators of who we will see.

Jurassic 5 are definately not playing, they broke up. Franz Ferdinand haven't got anything new to flog (nor do Beasties) so unlikely you'll see them.

I reckon The Go! Team would be the only definites I've seen so far.

Air, Presets and Dizzee Rascal could be maybes as well. MC5 played there a few years ago, so would seriously doubt they would come back. It seems like a lot of your list involve people who have already been...

If Devo come, beg, steal or borrow to get your arse there. I saw them play Livid back in 97 - amazing.

Air, Presets and Dizzee Rascal

have all already played an aussie festival in the last 6 months?? would be unlikely for them to return me thinks

i'm givin it a big swerve this year. Hittin the snow in hothem instead!

Franz Ferdinand haven't got anything new to flog (nor do Beasties) so unlikely you'll see them.

Franz have a new album coming out... not sure if its in time for Splendour.

MAYBE WEEZER - OMGZ.

Thats on Wikipedia, not sure if its correct or not.

Sif not japan gaz

That line up is correct.

There are a few there that I would be interested in, but I believe I'll be in NZ at the time. O noes.

sigur ros w00t

pnau and coldwar goes alright

hmmm, one last chance to see devo;

extremely tempting;

Does Japan still have snow in summer!? Also ludicrously expensive for flights which if i goto Hothem i can waste on ale and whores.

bit of a weak lineup for splendour imo =(

i'll still be goin but

If Devo come, beg, steal or borrow to get your arse there. I saw them play Livid back in 97 - amazing.

reckon! not many live bands put on a crazy performance as well as play thier hits.. i wasn't a huge devo fan in the 80s but i was pretty impressed with thier zany gig at livid in 97 :D tricky would be cool to see as well... depesh mode though... lols.

fkn tickets have gone up to $199 +7 for postage now

wtf, + accommodation this turns out to be a $500+ weekend now

boycot

tight

Holy crap, The Music are coming. Haven't heard anything from those guys in ages - they are definitely worth a look.

And yeah, Sigur Ros will be amazing, especially in that sort of setting.

What a hopeless lineup

I'd like to see how much they are spending on bands this year in comparison to previous years

are you taking into account inflation the american subprime collapse?
