Ok i guess, already locked in so no backing out now.

Gonna be a bit weird tho, cos last time I watch Yves Klein Blue live was when we beat them in the UQ band comp heats 2 years ago :-p.

How the tables have turned...

I'll take it nickie

suck s*** to all the people who bought tickets before the lineup was even released.

Oh cool... I guess I would have enjoyed seeing Paul Dempsey.

The Living End are playing... Their new song is unbelievably awesome.

suck f***ing s***, this is what they get for cramming twice as many people in to each event year after year, people get sick of it and are only willing to go when there is some incredible lineup that has to be out done year after year

eat a cock BDO organisers !@ (unrelated to splendour)

what are you talking about ? ^

people were buying tickets to splendour before the lineup was even announced

haha reso

hahah^

I can honestly say, Bliss N Eso are the only people in that line up I've heard of.

:D

I've only heard of Katalyst and Lyrics Born.

Who are these ring-ins?

I'm surprised you haven't heard of Polyphonic Spree, Bliss n Eso, Claire Bowditch, British India or New Young Pony Club?

f***s me who the rest are

suck s*** to all the people who bought tickets before the lineup was even released.

Agreed.
All these people saying they were going before the first lineup was announced.. i don't get it.. perhaps its the 'cool' place to be... my personal opinion is.. it's a waste of money, the lineup is average, and most people seem to be going only to get 'f***ed up' ... which is a lame reason to go to a festival (and a more expensive way of getting loose!)

Full line up here: http://www.splendourinthegrass.com/artists.php

There are some good bands, but certainly nothing that would have encouraged me to go.

oh damn.. i wish i endured a whole day of frustration to get myself some tickets to the event of MEH

All these people saying they were going before the first lineup was announced.. i don't get it.. perhaps its the 'cool' place to be...

or maybe festivals are just a s*** load of fun? i dunno...

yeah 2nd line up was f***ing meh. only acts that interest me are hadouken, lyrics born and bluejuice.

Right - Polyphonic Spree are amazing live. If you go you must see them, even if it is only for a little while. 20+ people on stage, perfect band for Splendour. I saw them at BDO a few years ago, almost wept.

Lyrics Born & Hadouken! defo worth seeing. A mate of mine over here hosted a gig for Even a few weeks back, they sounded sharp as ever. E.L.F is Darren from Gerling's solo project - from all reports it's not too bad.

meh, ive never heard of most that lineup either

You don't buy tickets in hope the 2nd lineup is going to be good, because it is usually always s*** like this.

Bandwagoning with taggs, people who can't appreciate a good festival have either:
a) never been to one
b) have only been to big day lol
c) listen to b105 and nova, also tying in to option a)

f*** yea!!

no radiohead but hey i'll settle for the spree !

Not too bad, Sigur Ros, The Panics, Band of Horses, Van She. Should be ok. It's cool going to a festival and seeing some of the smaller acts that you normally wouldn't get a chance to see or get lost amongst all the big name bands :)
