So far so good...I espeically like the grates, death cab, augie march and youth group on saturday. Sunday: wolfmother, yeah yeah yeahs and clap your hands say yeah. I just hope some of the bands play side shows - well mainly death cab because I'm already seeing/have seen a few of the others. I'd rather like to avoid paying the expense to go to splendour for one or two bands. If not I guess I might have to. I'd be convenient thought them being all in one place.

The first 25 as announced today.

SATURDAY JULY 22ND

Sonic Youth, Grinspoon, DJ Shadow, The Grates, Death Cab for Cutie, TV on the Radio, Augie March, The Avalanches (DJ set), Youth Group, Brittle Fex, Atmosphere and Paul Mac

SUNDAY JULY 23RD

Brian Wilson, Wolfmother, Scissor Sisters, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jose Gonzalez, Snow Patrol, You Am I, Decoder Ring, The Presets, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Zutons, Matisyahu and Clare Bowditch & Feeding Set

Was surprised nobody had posted this before.

TV On The Radio!!!

Hope they play some side shows in Sydney.

sonic youth is the only thing saving that list and maybe dj shadow.. new album actually rocks like they were 20years younger.. but last splendour kinda burnt me out, festivals always piss me off..i hope they play side shows..

Sonic Youth, DJ Shadow, Death Cab for Cutie, Augie March, The Avalanches, Youth Group, Wolfmother, Scissor Sisters, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Snow Patrol, You Am I
looks good so far.

I was really really REALLY hoping RHCP would be there as they're playing at Fuji, but alas... second annoucement we can only hope. That would be absolutely f***ing bitchin'

Preparing to hammer F5 @ 9AM on the 15th :( Im pretty pumped by the lineup so far. Hopefully they will have kept a few massive acts secret to surprise everyone closer to the date.

s*** lineup

appart from dj shadow, wheres the beats?

I'd be down for Sonic Youth, Atmosphere, Brian Wilson and Wolfmother, unfortunately, they're on different days and I couldn't really justify the ticket price and travel for them.

I'm really hoping the chilli peppers don't end up in the lineup because I'd much rather see them at their own show.

Whats the difference, Dan?

I know everyone I've seen at a festival VS their own concerts have been the same. I'd go as far as to say the atmosphere at a festival is much better.

Yer I already have 2 cabins booked accross the road from splendour, so all I need now is my tickets. Just try and stop me!

I know everyone I've seen at a festival VS their own concerts have been the same. I'd go as far as to say the atmosphere at a festival is much better.

Agreed - depending on the festival. Bands at BDO aren't as much fun cause there are really tight restrictions on playing times. Blues and Roots was awesome cause it seemed like bands could just keep playing if they wanted to.

That lineup looks pretty f***ing decent. How much are we talking here for a two day pass?

PS I'd suggest not taking drugs to this one cause didn't they have dogs last year who busted like 150 people?

no drugs at splendor?
hahahahahahaha

the coppas did use dogs to raid the clubs in byron on the friday nite last year

ive never smelt more dope at a festival ever and there were coppas galore inside, outside and all through town

For big bands there isn't a whole lot of difference between festival shows vs own shows but can include stuff like better crowd, less people, longer/better sets, better venue (maybe) and maybe some other things I'm forgetting.

Tix for Splendour are 160+bf? this year I think, it's on the website.

Hopefully they've gotten rid of that ridiculous clause where some Splendour headliners aren't allowed to play sideshows in Brisbane because it's "too close" to Byron and will take business away from the festival itself or whatever, lineup isn't too flash this year :| Could take the 160+accom+extras and maybe fly down to Sydney and catch a couple sideys

no sniffer dogs last year no
well if there was, i didnt get sniffed.

Which one am I thinking of then? It was hilarious on the news - all these hippies getting put into paddies.... hahahahaha stupid tie-dye.

coppas have raided a few events

bdo in melbourne they used sniffer dogs

some of the bushdoofs have had lots of coppas rock up as well

stick: I think you were thinking of BDO at the beginning of this year, im pretty sure they had the 'dogs there.

i wonder what sonic youth are like these days... i saw em live at a livid few years back n they were great! although they were on the main stage (rna) & the majority of the crowd really wasn't into it & left for other stages. this suited me fine as i got into a real sweet spot for the sound :D
i think it pissed a few ppl off too that they didn't play any of thier big hits... just sorta jammed for 45mins... 45mins of polished sonic youth distortion... yes pls! :D
i don't really like any of the other acts at this splendour so bleh.

death cab is playing at the zoo on thurs the 20th july. $45 + bf. I'm assuming that clause that prevents headliners from playing locally isn't on this year.

Splendour is the best festival all year. Its 2 days of awesomeness. Especially when you've got a mad crew.

Can't wait, we booked accom without seeing the lineup, but then again we are festival whores. I hope there is Gozlemi there for me to cain.

This year will be better as I wont have to deal with Spook having another psycotic episode and whinging about hippies. I hope we can get through a whole ounce this time. haha.

i am the fun matey
u will struggle without me

as a home owner now i have to save myself for quality music events that are at least 50% hippee free and dont need to space themselves out over two days

You lie, the fun was there the previous 2 years as well without you there. No more complaining about 2 days events, the lack of DJs, how your hip replacement surgery is flaring up or how the walls are caving in.

Can't wait for DJ Shadow, apparently he's wicked live. Got the Zuton's album yesterday and was impressed, they're quite a good rock outfit and will definately be seeing them.

Clare Bowdich is arse, from what I've heard on the JJJ hottest 100 and so is Jose Gonzalez, had a listen to him.

Wolfmother are going to be tops as usual.

Jose Gonzalez pwns

death cab is playing at the zoo on thurs the 20th july. $45 + bf. I'm assuming that clause that prevents headliners from playing locally isn't on this year.

My friend said they were playing at the zoo, so I went and checked their website. When they weren't listed I asked him what the go was and that's when we discovered that the zoo show wasn't listed anymore. So until it gets listed somewhere in print, I'm not raising my hopes that that clause isn't operating and that I'll see them anywhere other than splendour.

I heard on jjj today that a few of the acts have announced sideshows, but only heard Sydney and Melbourne mentioned.

I found out through Death Cab mailing list that they were playing at the zoo... but agreed that it's best to wait for zoo's official nod.

They've had drug checks at pretty much every festival I've ever been to, it's not like it stops anyone.

The line up definately lacks the mention of decent dj's. As i said last year though, the locals will rip it up in the new and improved size teepee area. Paul mac is usually pretty funky in his house kinda way.

Redhat:- Your right about the crew your with, it makes or breaks the holiday!

the teepee area last year owned

If anyone is looking for cheap camping style accomodation dont go past Suffolk Park Caravan Park, last year their was an awesome general atmosphere with many randoms stopping by sharing a laugh and a beer, we even had a doof on the beach on the sunday night with a massive fire (Very long extension cable).. Geeze we were wasted on tuesday!


http://www.bshp.com.au/suffolk/Default.htm <-- its about a 5min drive from the town centre. Which with the busses and cabs going will cost you about $2-$5 depending on how many ppl ur with.

Last year we took up pretty much a whole corner of the camp site, which was pretty kewl. As always though, more the merrier.

online ticket site is f***ed atm

Been refreshing since 8:55am :(

newb, already got my 8 tickets :D

hehe
I got mine shortly after that, now I'm just getting a few more for someone else.

Go splendour!!

The site was f***ed though. Surely they could have predicted the amount of bandwidth they were gonna get. Seems like they were no where near close to being able to handle what was hitting them. Constantly suspending sale was annoying as well.

f***, I still can't even get to the oztix site since 9:04

Any protips for spamming my way in?

last edited by reso at 11:36:33 15/May/06

I refreshed every ~15seconds for about 2 and a half hours :/

Just watch some tv shows or something.

:(

Thought I was being smart by setting up an oztix account last night.

F5 ftw

I got to the page, clicked choose and now I'm back where I started.

Due to overwhelming demand the ticket system is extremely busy, please bear with us, do not keep hitting refresh, but try again in a couple of minutes.

hahaha


DON'T LISTEN TO THEM!!! HITTING REFRESH IS THE ONLY WAY TO FLY!!

It took me two hours, but it was worth it.

Death Cab is seriously going to be the greatest thing of my life.

expiration keeps counting down but I'm not going anywhere! c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S c***S

haha
camping is sold out.

3 hours.

That aint bad.

:S

Order Confirmed!

Off to work now.

finally able to get my order through @ 1:20PM. :/ Pretty nerve-racking becuase my mate was meant to have them done while I was at work but I ended up having to get them when I had finished due to the f*** up.

I got through on the phone and half way through my order got disconnected (RARG f***) but quickly got in on the website after that.

If you are still tryign to get tickets the URL you should be going for is: splendour.oztix.com.au not splendourinthegrass.com.au... the splendour site is f***ed big time and youll eventually get re-directed to oxtix where youll have to get the link to splendour so going straight through saves alot of time.

Got my ticket! Although... wasn't counting on official camping selling out so quick. :S now where am i gonna sleep haha.

Done and dusted! s*** yeah, bring it awn.

s*** lineup.. why bother

Cos not everyone has the same taste in music as you.

I dont really care too much about the lineup.. its a weekend away doin crazy s*** with a party lovin crew!

I'll listen to just about anything but this looks really crappy.

Gaz: That's probably the best bit :)

keep in mind there are 20 more acts to be announced... although IMHO it looks pretty good so far... but yeah i'm mostly going for the experience. :)

ill be there

s*** lineup.. why bother

enjoy two days of folk music and hippees, suckas

im going down on the friday just to party hearty and then fleeing before im forced to listen to any of the horrible music;

You've been to one? I wouldn't think so with a statement like that. I Think I saw a total of 1 MAYBE 2 people (although it could of been the same person) that you would call 'hippies'.

Heaps of chix there too o.O

last edited by reso at 16:21:09 31/May/06

I can't read

5. SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS event and camping tickets will not be posted out until MONDAY JULY 3RD.

omfg matisyahu and mos def, f*** i wish i could go to splendour now :(

Oh yeah, Zak, beat you to it :P.

Haha yeah, got jacked on this one didn't I :) I only have access to the internet once or twice a week these days though.

I think the added Saturday acts look good, but Sunday was pretty weak. Still, should be a good one. Will probably be overseas before the next BDO or Splendour, so going to have to go out with a bang!

Just giving this bump to let people know the timetable is up. Relatively clash free for me this year.

I want a ticket :'(

They released a limited run last week but it appears they have now all been sold. There's a couple of big things coming up in October though...

well, keep an eye out for me in byron on the friday nite before getting down somewhere

luckily im leaving before any of the splendor music starts though

phew!

Spook, you've already tried being a fagot on this page, why would you want to make another successful attempt? TO MAKE US JEALOUS? I DONT THINK SO

hey, if i wanted to be a f*****, i woudl have come in here proclaiming my love for a football team from another country that cant win without playing like f*****s

hook line and sinker.

Woot! Butterfingers confirmed :D

CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY NO. BUTTERFINGERS SAY YES!

SPLENDOUR organisers have been notified that US band CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH have cancelled their Australian tour, and consequently their performance at Splendour In the Grass due to illness.

The band’s lead singer Alec Ounsworth has unfortunately lost his voice, which has led to the cancellation of all Australian touring commitments.

We can confirm that Brisbane band BUTTERFINGERS will perform in the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah spot on Sunday July 23rd. SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS organisers apologise for any disappointment caused as a result of this cancellation.

I USED TO DO THINGS, AND SAY THINGS, YOU KNOW JESUS I WAS EVIL!

Even better imo.
Only 5 more sleeps!!

:( I was looking forward to clap your hands... butterfingers receive vicious cockings.

butterfingers cain, are you nuts?

fingers, butter butter fingers.

Spook wont be going as last year was too much fun and awesome music for his old and bitter ways. Can you say fun/music hater?

I really can't wait to see DJ shadow, I hear he's the friggin business live.

die spanky

butter fingers?

same ol same ol

same show uve seen at every other festival we've been too

im surprised they still have a following, considering they are big now on video hits and nova

yer, dj shadow is ok, not really much else doing;

also, you sarkx

I havent seen butterfingers since Splendour last year and they've put out a new album since. I think that merits seeing them again especially as I really like em.

Its good that they've achieved pop status, that means people like them, what's wrong with that?

You listen to frigging promiscous girl.

thats an awesome tune!

It's a s*** tune for f*****s.

(I am bitter because I hear it 3 times a night at work)

so lucky!
the only way that would be better was if u got to see the flim clip 3 times a nite!

I do. It sucks.

Damn, I was hanging out for Clap your hands say yeah.... Butterfingers are a good replacement though. Oh well, i'll be pretty boozed the whole time, probably won't care come show time :)

I'll see yas in the teepee forest! Make sure you see psy clone, he f***in rocks.

Butterfingers ftw, smae with presets! I'm usually the one to be too munted though and just chug around in the doof tent hehheh.

u down friday nite gaz?

keep an eye out for me out and aboot!

we're heading off now

who was the surprise international act?????

I asked reso, he said The Vines.

well, that would have sucked massively if you were hanging out to see someone good as the suprise act

actually they werent too bad haha. lead singer type guy has packed a few kilo's on, he is now a mcfat. he also trashed the drumkit after they had finished in a drunken stuper.. it was quite funny :)

standout acts were wolf mother, death cab, grinspoon.. the avalacnes dj set was sick too. lior and clair bowditch were tops too :)

Mogwai and sonic youth aroused my pants muchly. tv on the radio and dungen also super rad.

I got so scattered on friday night, i woke up in time to see paul mac, then went back home to get on it :)
Sunday was f***en mad though, I remember my mate just totally spinning out about half way into matisyahu, then the next thing i heard from him he was back in brisbane :P

scissor sisters were really good.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Scissor Sisters, You Am I all great. Wasn't overly impressed this year, nothing really blew my dick off.

I think it was oversold. The new area wasn't very accessible, and hence didn't really draw enough of the crowd away. Got crushed during DJ Shadow and Scissor sisters, and I was standing at the rim of the tent both times - got jack of being smashed from both sides by rude c***s, so left early. Shame, as Brian Wilson was sounding awesome when we were walking home.

apparently brian wilson was s*** house.

i could have told you that before even seeing him play

because you were around when the beach boys were?

^^ winnar!

Also I heard he was good. I dunno I like the beach boys, pity I was too friggin tired to see him. Must be getting old.

because you were around when the beach boys were?

HAHAHA!

hardly lamos
