[DB]

Pretty disappointed tbh, apart from the headliners, not much after that

 

[Frank_Grimes]

Not too happy about PJ headlining...means there probably won't be any Aus tour and I'll have to jostle with sweaty, shirtless idiots to see my favourite band.

 

[DB]

I'm hoping for a sideshow

 

[LESStar58]

Terrible. Just terrible.

 

[Big Pete]

Pearl Jam
Arcade Fire
Blur

That's a pretty awesome set of headliners right there

Lumineers
Ghost
Grouplove
Protugal. The Man

Solid set of support acts

Then acts like Snoop, Major Lazer, Impala, Toro Y Moi etc. provide decent alternative acts.

I felt self-assured knowing that last year's line-up was as good as it gets for me...this has my interest but not sure if I'll give them my business.

 

[RedVDave]

I get the feeling Mudhoney & Pearl Jam will do a sideshow together two great grunge bands from the 90's.

 

[DB]

Well Adam Zammit, CEO of BDO just replied to me on Twitter saying PJ doesn't do sideshows. That's a shame.

 

[natheel]

Ah well another year I'll be waiting for soundwave

 

[Alex28]

Good lord let there be an Arcade Fire sideshow...

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I'll rock up in time for Pearl Jam. The rest is mostly rubbish.

Wish PJ did Soundwave instead

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

What the hell has happened to this festival. Soundwave is now easily the premier music festival in Australia.

 

[carcharias]

Blur
Check out a gig they did in Hyde park 2009 ( I think )... YouTube probably.

They are a bloody great bunch of muso's in the great pommy pop tradition.

They will be worth the ticket price alone.
PJ ... Seen em yeah .... Good to see em again

 

[Apey]

Oh get f**ked I'll be pissed if Pearl Jam aren't going to do a tour.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Oh get f**ked I'll be pissed if Pearl Jam aren't going to do a tour.

They're not apparently. 2hr BDO slot is it.

Had a quick look on the PJ forums. Not many happy campers regarding this news.

 

[urban eel]

solid but average

compared to the Splendor line up which had a lot more depth

 

[zombie jesus]

Not f**king happy with the Pearl Jam news at all, I won't go unless they do the 2 for 1 deal at the 2nd Sydney show when it doesn't sell out.

 

[hineyrulz]

Shit line up and too see PJ i have to pay an overpriced ticket. Very disappointing but i wouldn't expect anything else from the BDO these days. Soundwave has been taking a dump on it for years.

 

[DB]

Plus Blur and PJ are headlining on their own respective stages, so you will probably have to choose between one.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

At just 25, I don't know whether to feel too old, or too young for this fesitval.

Outside the big 3 (Pearl Jam, Blur and Snoop), I only really know a couple of the NZ acts like Naked and the Famous and P-Money.

Have no idea on the rest
