Damn... I'm not a huge fan of the whole BDO thing but:

Rage Against the Machine... HELL YES!
Björk... WOOHOO!
Billy Bragg... Legend
Paul Kelly... Another legend
Sarah Blasko... Very nice, I like.
Midnight Juggernauts... Good party music
Dizzee Rascal... Yet another legend
Battles... Cool

Not familiar with a couple of others.

Tempting!

Fairly certain watching Bjork is going to absolutely suck whilst listening to her being blasted by a bunch of drunk bogans... Hope the RATM crowds aren't that bad. Just started listening to Battles too and they're damn cool, but thats about I care for atm. When Grinspoon is third band listed, you know Lees and West spent all their bloody money on RATM...

This is true (Bjork in front of bogans). The more I've thought about it the more I think I might look for solo shows by Bjork, Battles and company.
