Yeah I'll be sitting up to make sure I get a ticket for Adelaide. Rage will blow my mind.

Björk. Finally.

EVERYONE will be there to see RATM, i reckon its gonna be impossible to acctually get a look at em. Im going mostly for Battles and Paul Kelly

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!

[JuZ]

Oh, and thought I'd also add that I do NOT understand all the hype surrounding LCD Soundsystem. wtf?

Hell yes. got a ticket

No thanks.

I got my ticket.

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.

I've heard rumours for Unkle and My Bloody Valentine. The Roots said they wanted to do this coming BDO tour (please please please please)

How good were the Roots on their last tour here!

[JuZ]

The Roots? Ah man!

How good were the Roots on their last tour here!

They fucking owned!! Seen them the last two times they've come out, never seen a better live band in my life!
