Neil Young to headline with Arctic Monkeys, the Ting Tings and My Morning Jacket also rumored to be playing.

Hardy · Post by **Hardy** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 5:50 pm

Wrong Neil!

FunkyJ · Post by **FunkyJ** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 7:51 pm

Neil Diamond FTW!

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 1:47 pm

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 3:45 pm

FAIL tbh

Kaiproject · Post by **Kaiproject** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 8:07 pm

just read over on ITM forums rumors of Prodigy and Radiohead

dunno how much truth in it both either would be pretty special..
recent prodigy live shows look nuts apart from some of the MCing

also on ITM someone reckons Hot BBQ 2009:
Santogold
Digitalism
Boyz Noise
Busy P
DJ Mehdi
A-Trak

fark. already got a pyramid ticket, might have to get back in time for hot bbq like i did after falls this year

too many fking expensive fests....

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 12:35 pm

I saw the Prodigy last time they played the Metro and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to!

bdo melbourne venue = fail

hmm... but we're talking about them playing BDO...

and the last time i saw em there they sucked

they should have put them in the boiler room not the main stage perhaps

The new prodigy stuff i've heard is a total return to form... proper fucking old skool style beats and shit. But yes, BDO is total fail. I'd rather just pick the 2 or 3 acts I want to see, and go to their side-show instead.

WTF, am I getting old, or is music just really shit at the moment?

ulyssian · Post by **ulyssian** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 5:06 pm

mmmmm... i would consider!
is it at that shitty venue again though??

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 5:19 pm

yeah, Flemington Racecourse

PahMaLa · Post by **PahMaLa** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 5:59 pm

The Prodigy is the only thing that is making me tempted to go to this!

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:24 am

So I read this morning that The Prodigy will be headlining the Boiler Room, not main stage, which is a good thing.
Also they are reacting to complaints from this years gig and are going to add 30% more grass and extra shade.

Hardy · Post by **Hardy** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 1:21 pm

What the fuck is a Ting Ting?

menace · Post by **menace** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 2:00 am

line up is mega fail

ting tings are pop ..the chick is cute tho

Post by **lynt** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 4:26 pm

30% more grass. lol.

Kaiproject · Post by **Kaiproject** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 6:58 pm

lol. bit of a reversal from this year's indeed, more grass would have to mean 100% less sniffer dogs eh

ulyssian · Post by **ulyssian** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 7:05 pm

apparently they making more shade this year....
if only they could fuck off the dust......

why am I whinging.. I will be there even against own anti-new venue sentiment!

FunkyJ · Post by **FunkyJ** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 11:24 am

I'm considering going to the Auckland one...

Headless Chickens have reformed for it, and The Black Seeds are also playing.

If I don't manage to get there, this will be the first BDO I've missed in about 5 years, and I've only ever missed 2.

Unlike those other times, I won't be sad about missing it though.

nadine · Post by **nadine** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 9:11 pm

Oh wow, Headless Chickens? I wonder if they'll start gigging?

lineups actually much better than i thought a while back, looking at it now

still, might end up selling my ticket too depending how rainbow serp goes

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 1:34 pm

just spoke to some peeps at BDO headquarters and it seems $10k less tickets have been sold for Melb show. I said it could be due to the venue, which they said they have done HUGE improvements on last year i.e. grass is now covering the dusty areas etc. Then again it could just be the line-up...

they have cut staffing as a result. thankfully not me, but sucks for newbies wanting to get in on the action.

anyways, will see how it goes. if it is as bad as it was last year, i am def out. unless line-up sucks me back in.

quiet roar · Post by **quiet roar** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 1:51 pm

^^ That's great news for those that are going - over crowding was a major issue that stopped me from going to the big day out, and festivals in general.
