Big Day Out 2012

[Big Pete]

I tend to find a lot of BDO line ups age really well.

Some obviously better than others.

And as far as organisation goes, BDO does it far better than Soundwave.

 

[Red Bear]

I think Soundwave is usually shithouse and Sydney sounds like the worst organised thing ever. BDO crowds shits me no end, although the second day was fun last year with less people and Iggy and Grinderman killing it.

Still, concerts>festivals

 

[Kong]

[Big Pete]

[Danish]

Have absolutely no idea who any of these bands are.... I am getting old

 

[Alex28]

Cage The Elephant would be interesting live. Good album.

 

[Kong]

0/8 wanting to go rating so far. Odd future and Girl Talk are especially meh.

 

[Danish]

Frenzal will be good.... Pity they are the only band I know on the list.

Going to have to do some youtubing tonight to check out these other bands

 

[hineyrulz]

Sounds pretty meh so far, Frenzal i have seen heaps and i've never heard of the rest :? The BDO gets worse every year.

 

[Big Pete]

Battles is a step in the right direction.

Yep. I haven't been for a few years seems the same again. I was hoping the 20th Anniversary would bring a return to the glory days.

 

[Twizzle]

Parkway Drive and Frenzal are good news, three main liners are being announced in the morning.

 

[Danish]

My Chemical Romance should be good. Saw them in Japan in 06 and they were really good live.

Don't know three quarters of the acts, as it seems a few here don't as well.... Thing is though the fact we don't know them doesn't mean they aren't good. There was a time in your life when you didn't know the bands who you wish were playing BDO next year.

As Pete said BDO lineups do age well, so there will undoubtedly be a few unknown gems in there

 

[RedVDave]

Frenzal are good! but you can see them at a sideshow for $30 and not worry about teenyboppers and save what $120? Anyways apart from 3 of them have not even heard of the other bands!

 

[Red Bear]

Frenzal The Living End Parkway, not bad
