Title: Summer Music Festivals/Concerts
Post by: taiga on November 03, 2011, 01:46:24 am
Anyone heading out for some of the bigger events of the summer?

Some of the lineups are looking big, biggest ones that come to mind are:

Sterosonic

Big Day Out

Soundwave

Future Music Festival

Eminem/Lil Wayne

also some smaller ones around (Iyaz/New Boyz/Dumbfoundead)

Anyone heading out? Getting just a bit excited for summer.

If anybody has an empty house and having a party, don't invite Taiga. Last time I had an empty hosue he came over and stole all my Scotch Fingers and Cruncy Nut bars :(.

Going to Stereo (Melb) + Summafieldayze (Gold Coast) + Future (Sydney).
If ASOT550 happen to be in/near Australia (~March/April), will definitely be going to that.
Depending on the lineup of Creamfields, will probably go to that as well.

It's going to be a good summer =D

Laneway already sold out correct? Would love to see Active Child, M83 and the Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Seen TPoBPaH when they did a free show at Polyester Records. Peggy is so cute :3

Wish I could go to Soundwave but, of course, school day FREAKING YEAR 12 and all that jazz... *sigh*  THe line up looks really, REALLY good...

^I skipped school to go to this year's soundwave :D wish I could go next year though...tickets all sold out. The line up is godly :( (except for attack!attack!...who the hell let them in?)
Title: Re: Summer Music Festivals/Concerts
Post by: BakaNeko on November 08, 2011, 01:08:41 pm
I would skip school if I could XD Oh well, too late to wish now... Yeah, I hope they do what they did this year and have a couple of "Sidewaves" or whatever they called them. They were pree good and pretty cheap too.

I don't really know Attack! Attack! They that bad? XD
Title: Re: Summer Music Festivals/Concerts
Post by: funkyducky on November 08, 2011, 02:46:35 pm
Yes, yes they are:

(skip to 2.45 for extra WTF)

HANG ON it's a different band called Attack! Attack! (as opposed to AttackAttack! or whatever) playing soundwave MY BAD. I'm leaving this up for lulz though.

Going to the BDO'12. The second announcement is tomorrow morning on Triple J I hear. As for who I'm looking forward to, Kasabian and Cage the Elephant so far + a few others I might try catch. I also contemplated Falls Festival but bought side show tickets to Arctic Monkeys instead (Miles Kane as support, woo!). Also have a ticket to The Kooks sold out show but getting a bit put off since I don't even like the new album much.

I had tickets to Soundwave 2011 but sold them off for $230 each. I wasn't even asking for more than the cost price, but hey, whatever people want to pay for some Iron Maiden eh? (I'm not a scalper, no hating)

Hooray for summer!

Edit: BDO 2nd announcement has NOEL GALLAGHER!!! I am overjoyed

AJ Maddah (the bawss) said Melbourne would get most if not all of the possible Sidewaves, so there's some good news for ya.

I few people I know we're truly dedicated.

Went to Gold Coast for schoolies, came down to Melbourne for Eminem on the second last day, then went back up to Gold Coast for the rest of schoolies, then went to stereosonic in Brisbane and then came back home to Melbourne.

Bought my ticket to BDO but I'll be in Amsterdam now!! Pretty disappointing because Soundgarden would have been amazingggggg. Will be going to Soundwave though, so excited for System of a Down! :)

I want to go BDO and Future. Now to find some buddies I can go with.

I also want to go Supafest, and I'll have heaps of Currybuddies I can go with, coz they'll all wanna see that Trey Songz dude. I just wanna see Kelly Rowland rock it and to some extent Lupe.

Okay this isn't an Australian festival but this line-up is drooltastic to me so I'm going to leave this here. I want to go badly but can't justify the $3500 (probably more) worth of flights+accom+travel+other costs yet. Tickets are on sale around 5am Aus time tomorrow and the first weekend's almost sold out due to the pre-sale 8 months ago. They did a live stream of last year's Coachella on YouTube so I'm hoping they do it again. It's like Future, Big Day Out, Laneway, Falls Festival and Splendour in the Grass all in one. Sigh, it's so far away.

Yeah Coachella is always amazing.

I'm going to Soundwave, it's on a Friday and it starts at like 5:30pm doesn't it, so I am still going to school on that day :P.

SO I MANAGED TO GET TICKETS TO COACHELLA 2012 THIS MORNING. HELLO CALIFORNIAN DESERT HEAT. My bank account is crying.

I think I'll be missing 2 days of uni since it's on the weekend at the end of Monash's mid sem break. Flying back means I time travel and skip a day. Hoping I have no assessments or pracs ...

Yeah Coachella is always amazing.

I'm going to Soundwave, it's on a Friday and it starts at like 5:30pm doesn't it, so I am still going to school on that day :P.

Isn't Soundwave all day from approximately 11am like most festivals? There are too many bands for it to start from 5:30pm! I remember my friend skipped year 12 classes in 2008 for it haha.

Re:Coachella, there is an obvious lack of trance. I am disappoint :(

Oopsies, yeah you're right, Soundwave is 11AM - 10pm... worth missing a day of school for SOAD though =P.

Coachella + Ultra have two of the most amazing lineups I have ever seen. I am soooo jealous that you get to go to even one of those festivals, makes me wish I was done with school sooo mcuh :P.

Oh wow, you are actually going to Coachella? That is freakin amazing.

And Ultra looks amazing. It's on my to-do list. :P
