Also Casa isn't Splendour in NSW..?

Heardy it's in Werchter, Belgium 28 June - 1 July
www.rockwerchter.be/

splendor website isnt up and tickets go on sale monday? or is google not finding the official site...?

Splendour website is here. Triple J were the ones who announced the lineup this morning along with ticket sales.

Also Casa isn't Splendour in NSW..?

Yeah, Byron Bay... which is practically QLD :)

Dammit, wont be going this year.

I hope its not as packed out as last year for everyone's sake, used to be a really nice festival.

/\ agreed
this will be my last splendour

do not want

... ahhh silverchair have gone gay

Holy f*** that's an awesome lineup!$@!$@#!

yer, wont go back, not even for lily allen

Agent99, Me and Jared were just discussing going to splendour... you and lil'spete should come with us...

hmmmm, how much are tickets.

I believe ~$200 plus you have to stay somewhere...

they're usually like 120-150 for both days iirc?? which i do not.

Yeah its a $500 weekend, EASY.

I read tickets go on sale Monday 14 May in today's timeoff. That's not next Monday IRC.

That date is confirmed by triple j here: http://triplej.yourevents.com.au/event/index.cfm?action=detail&session_id=43403887
So don't try and log onto the website (I'm assuming they will go with their scapler-busting system again this year). Tickets were definitely between $120-$150 last year so you do recall correctly casa.

Splendour love their Brit bands... Only one American act on there so far.

Looks like a pretty nice line up, but yeah you wanna hope its not packed to the s***ter like last year.

official

500 to stand in the mud listening to s***ty music while surrounded by indie fags....awesome

It's interesting that Josh Pyke will be there again (as he was last year). I wonder how many others will do a repeat performance this year.

It's at the same place (after a dispute with the Byron Bay Council over the proposed Yelgun site) so it'll probably be just as full this year.

Cost of tickets. A bit more than what Casa and I were quoting. Does anybody remember how much it actuall was last year for comparisons sake?

Edit: I just relised with the booking fee and postage (which is mandatory since you have to buy from their website) that the actual ticket will cost $202.5. That's not cheap.

Think it was 160 last year?

Re: Josh Pyke - they often have 'favourite' artists come back for the next year's festival, particularly the Aussie ones. 1200 Techniques played for the first 3 or 4 years in a row from memory. Bloc Party have played before, as have Powdy. So long as they aren't doing the same set it's not such a bad thing (if you are into them).

Will Phil be out of rehab by then? :(

500 to stand in the mud listening to s***ty music while surrounded by indie fags....awesome

Thats about how much I pay to use these forums to listen to wankers like you cry about your s*** lives. Oh wait, thank f*** I don't actually pay anything.

And yeah, blockparty and hilltop hoods both played 2 years ago.

And yeah, blockparty and hilltop hoods both played 2 years ago.

I knew Bloc Party had played in '05 and that Snow Patrol had played before when they played last year. I just didn't expect them to get people back in years running. But as Zak said the organisers have done that several times so I stand definitely stand corrected. Last year was the first time I went. Repeating bands isn't a bad thing I just thought it was curious.

... ahhh silverchair have gone gay

they have always been gay. now they are just gayer.

Got my ticket for rockwerchter, yay :D

I still want to see the hilltop hoods though, damn. Hopefully they'll do a sideshow.

dunno if someone said this, but casa, its not The Claxons, its just Klaxons.

yeah i don't know, never heard of them before in my life :)

Its ok, I won't hold it against you. They're an excellent electro-rocky sorta band... (biggest song is Golden Scans, but it sound nothing like them on the whole)

splendor is only worthwhile now if u make a real trip of it and go down on like thursday morning and stay till monday. the clubs absolutely pump with hotties down there during splendor. I have never seen so many hotties in the one place than at byron during splendor

so... who is getting f***ed over by the lousy ticketing system this year?

Me ME ME! I was in the third line after 9 and now I can't get back in.

After getting bumped around with cookie errors and time outs etc.

Sorry, but you will need to wait for another cycle. Thank you for your patience Click Here

Virtual Waiting Room FTL

funny that they've managed to f*** it up two years in a row. fire oztix, they suck cock. luckily for me I'm not buying a ticket :)

How dare you taunt us, reload!

nah I was up early last year hitting f5 for like 3 hours with the rest of the chumps. at least this year they're pressing it for you :)

f***ing stupid thing yet again screws up. Looks like oztik has gone down the second time!

Bulls***. has anyone got through?

I know enough people going to warrant not requiring to catch up with randoms from QGL that I have not, and plan on not meeting.

Yeah now that it is sold out I've misssed out. I could cry :'(

Me ME ME! I was in the third line after 9 and now I can't get back in.

Exact same f***ing thing happened to me. Couldn't get back in until 11, when camping tickets were sold out. Passed out on the beach with a crumbed sausage will be me.

and the crumbed sausage will be me ;)

I think I'm gunna be working at this one :)

Sweet, cos my cousin didnt get tickets, so i'll need you to sneak her in

is she hot ?

No comment.

She has stunner friends though :)

Well if she is related to casa im going to assume her upper lip is hairier than whoop

yeah shes half italian like me

haha at work i watched my work mate sit infront of his pc from 9am til about 3 something madly refreshing away from all sorts of timeouts and pages not found. Just as he moved up to the front row in the que image thingy he lost his place in the que and was placed at the end of it, TWICE.

The look on his face when he found out that the tickets were sold out.... oh man he was honestly about to cry aha!

shame we cant just go on the saturday

seems like splendor is turning into a mad money grab by byron/promoters

hahahaha was watching someone wait for like 4hrs to get them off the s*** site...

why in the f***ing world would you create a site where only 1 person can use it at a time,

haha splendor in the grass powered by angelfire.

I was gonna go.. but realised im in the UK and that i could goto this instead. I'm sure some people will agree that the lineup is quite orgasimc!

last edited by casa at 15:26:18 27/Jun/07

terrible lineup in my opinion

yeah sucks theres no marilyn manson and my chemical romance eh? -_-

Haha.

"You don't share the same musical tastes as me, therefore you listen to s***ty goth/industrial, or commercial whine-rock! - THERE IS NOTHING ELSE!".

Casa, your logic is outstanding.

Holy s*** there are a lot of acts I would like to see. What is the ticket status?

below i have compiled a list of all the artists going that will actually be worth seeing:

First announcement was ok...

But this one, well

Spiderbait > *

Thats about it

best lineup ever!!!

cmon, you can't knock this..

SATURDAY AUGUST 4TH
Powderfinger, Kaiser Chiefs, Lily Allen, Sarah Blasko, Tilly & The Wall, Grinspoon, Hot Chip, Cat Empire, Blue King Brown and Sara Tindley + Damien Rice, The Horrors, Ash, Paul Kelly, Lost Valentinos, The Beautiful Girls, The Panics, Old Man River, Sneaky Sound System, Howling Bells, The Herd, Editors, Planet Asia, Muscles, Operator Please and Wild Marmalade + DJs sets from Cut Copy DJ’s (club mode), Riot In Belgium, Purple Sneakers DJ’s and Sean Candy aka AB.

SUNDAY AUGUST 5TH
Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, Hoodoo Gurus, Hilltop Hoods, Klaxons, The Shins, The Dirty Three, Expatriate, Josh Pyke, Airbourne and The Ride + OK Go, Spiderbait, Cut Copy, Gotye, Midnight Juggernauts, Kisschasy, Magnolia Electric Co, Bumblebeez, Holly Throsby, Teenager and Mellow Gold Rolling Thunder Revue + DJ sets from Funktrust DJ’s Mark Murphy and Sean Candy aka AB.

It's completely full of b and c-list acts, apart from powderfinger who are only an a-list aussie act.

And considering that the finger will be touring with silverchair anyway, I'd definitely rather see that.

Aren't they only touring regional towns?

Casa, your logic is outstanding.

aaw you upset you don't get to see the black parade aswell? I'm sorry.

last edited by casa at 08:42:38 28/Jun/07

Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, Hilltop Hoods, Klaxons, The Shins, Powderfinger, Spiderbait

Well, I'd like to see all those bands... But I'd rather not see them at splendour.

Also, the PowderChair tour thing is going everywhere _INCLUDING_ regional towns. Tickets go on sale on the 9th of July.

For once I'm not going to yawn, but give the old thumbs up.

Such an awesome weekend. Kaiser Chiefs hawled ass, as did the hilltops.

Discuss!

pics or lying

kaiser chiefs really impressed (and lmao at the guy who decided to climb to the top of the tent bare-assed - lots of guts, it was so f***ing cold), they went f***ing off

bloc party as well, arctic monkeys were fking awesome, altho i was so f***ed by that stage

grinspoon were my fav of the weekend, really awesome live - powderfinger disappointed, but my happiness was probably the pick of the songs

ok go were surpisingly good too, great entertainers, will be a band to watch out for once they get some more big songs


annnddd i forget who else there was....

middnight juggernauhts >:)

Only pic I have atm is of my mate passed out

how was lily allen?

only act i would have bothered to see

on at the same time as powderfinger :(

heard smile on our way back out, was pretty good

lily allen was meh
she made a lame rant about george bush and made a point of telling everyone how drunk she was.

Ash was f***ing awesome.
Spiderbait were rad like usual
Midnight Jugs n Cut Copy did their thing
Bloc Party were good, but I don't reckon they really add that much more to their live shows. They're still awesome, but could be better live I think.
Arctic Monkeys on the other hand absolutely pwn live imo

:(
music and politics dont mix; dear artist, we dont care what you think about politics, just entertain us,signed crowd

made a point of telling everyone how drunk she was.

hawt

Yeah, felix from cat empire got up on stage and said "this is our new song about global warming, don't vote for our current government" and I was pretty dark at that.

Sucks cos their set was out of control

f*** Yeah! Another great Splendour Bender. Back to work tomorrow :(

i was at almost the same spot as you for gotye casa

i liked bloc party the best and i reckon they should have had the arctic monkeys timeslot

Spiderbait were rad like usual

FAIL!

I've seen this band on numerous occasions and they just blow.

Otherwise, cool pics, definetely some decent bands on that lineup.

I agree fully. block party > overrated monkeys :)

nar the arctic monkeys werent too bad, just bp were better!1212

kaisers were best imo, then probably bloc party/arctics.

I liked Bloc Party the best. So many good songs!

too many f***ed wankers. Seriously, does anyone have any sort of self control. When you look like you've got down syndrome and talk and act like it too, STOP!

I did get to see much of the festival as i was working but here my pro's and con's

Pro:-
Music
Hotties
Funny costumes (phantom bahaha)
Vodka
Hotties
Nice weather
Lily Allen
Bloc Party
Hilltop
Arictic Monkeys
Riot in Belgium

Speakers facing form the stage, but Dj's played from the the back. So everyone was facing the stage when the Dj's where playing. God damn sheep.
