Will Dizzee do another set where he MC's for 10 minutes then gets chicks on the stage and tries to get them to take off their tops for 30 mins?

last BDO expericne left me bitter, and i didnt even pay to get in.

hilltops rocked, but was a eight degree mosh in there, and im short.

waited all day for beasties, and half the fuckin stack blew out! CRAPOLA

BUT > recapture my rage BDO experience of sixteen years old > priceless!
bjork > love that woman, would be amazing to see her

hmmmmmmmmm

Flash · Post by **Flash** » Tue Oct 02, 2007 5:54 pm

think i may have to pop my BDO cherry on this one.

Post by **breaksRbest** » Tue Oct 02, 2007 7:01 pm

not overly impressed with the lineup so far, but the 2nd & 3rd announcements are usually where the gold is IMO

Hardy · Post by **Hardy** » Tue Oct 02, 2007 7:19 pm

Rage & Bjork the only ones i dig there, and i'm going to the RATM show already. Bjork sideshow FTW!

Izza · Post by **Izza** » Tue Oct 02, 2007 7:24 pm

Bjork makes me

i was thinking of going to the Sydney festival to see her but now, no need.

i have been waiting for her to come back, so very excited.

Side show please that is announced before BDO tix go on sale as i would hate to buy tix to find out later that theres a side show.

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Tue Oct 02, 2007 11:19 pm

oh, public holiday thing... is aus day the 26th?? bad with that!!

HTH front and center again... and rage... nothing else really stands out but hopefully second announcement up is better

going to be interesting back at the 'new' showgrounds... squeeze

Post by **lynt** » Tue Oct 02, 2007 11:56 pm

Only going for Rage. I think Bjork might be a little too "tripped out", if you get my drift.

Hardy · Post by **Hardy** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 1:10 am

I'd say it wont be too squeezy at the showgrounds, because BDO is not happening there.

No sir, i'm afraid I don't.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:06 pm

there!!!! bjork, rage and the hoods have me sold.

PLUS this statement on the BDO website:

"Of course we are talking about Rage Against The Machine (BDO 1996) and Bjork (BDO 1994). But don't think it's a two horse race, these shows are gearing up to be the most ambitious series of festivals in the event's 16 year history."

i'm pretty sure they're releasing a couple of hundred tickets on the internet a week up until the gig, or at least for a couple of months anyway. that's what they've been doing in the other states.
i'm too lazy to check the website.

Post by **lynt** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 5:00 pm

We bought tickets, and like most, we're going for RATM then going home.
