The Nigh[bleep]chman (Tom Morello acoustic)

 

Blue King Brown

 

Dr Octagon with Kutmaster Kurt

 

British India

 

Aceyalone

 

Krill

 

 

 

With the exception of Nigh[bleep]chman and (to a lesser extent) Karnivool, I can't say I'm a great deal pleased. I guess I'll try and get into some of these other acts beforehand and attempt not to pass judgement so much, but it looks to me like they blew their budget on the headliners and decided to fill the lineup with a bunch of Australian acts and unknowns. These bands join:

 

 

 

Rage Against the Machine

 

Bjork, Grinspoon

 

Arcade Fire

 

Hilltop Hoods

 

Billy Bragg

 

Paul Kelly

 

LCD Soundsystem

 

Sarah Blasko

 

Faker

 

Midnight Juggernauts

 

Dizzee Rascal

 

Something With Numbers

 

Battles

 

Cut Off Your Hands

 

 

 

I was expecting/hoping for Serj, and Amen had previously posted in a Myspace bulletin that they were playing, but I guess not. Bummer. Ah well, seeing Rage is still gonna be killer, and Morello's solo stuff is pretty awesome too.

Rage and Bjork is what I'm going for, anything else is a plus, but I am dissapointed no one else really big is coming..

 

 

 

I'll be at the NZ show.

What's wrong with Dizzee, Arcade Fire, Bjork, LCD Soundsystem, Battles (Don't miss them live!!) and Carl Cox?

Man, i'd go just for Silverchair and Rage.

i would go for silverchair, bjork and rage but i haven't got enough moneys darn car >.< but i was hoping foo fighters would come ah well
