BDO 2011 Rumour Thread

[Hawks1523]

So, if what I've heard is true..

Blink are not playing.

I like one of the headliners, the other I believe a few around here like, personally don't like their stuff.

Names?
Soundgarden/Kings of Leon as has been reported for ages now or is it somebody else

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Yeah I saw that. But from what I heard a while back, it's not happening. Travis still wont fly, and if they were to do a festival they'd need to be driving across the country. Not that they can't do that, but I was just told Blink aren't playing.

Time will tell I guess.

This makes me very, very happy

Neither Soundgarden or KOL. Well they weren't in the few I was told about.

 

[krusden]

A quick update ... Kings Of Leon have already played BDO, and the sky didn't fall.

Yes, their audience demographic has changed since that great set out in the cow pavilion, but the band are no more or less good/shit than seven years ago.

it sure has.

I saw them a few years ago myself and loved em.

However the change of the songs and demographic since cutting their hair and corporate rock whoring suggests that they are now shite and shall ruin the BDO.

About 90% sure Tool is the headline act. I'm pretty sure it won't be A Perfect Circle as some have guessed.

Not sure who the second headliner is. I'd like Soundgarden, but I've also heard they won't be playing, and Kings Of Leon have pretty much ruled themselves out.

There was that Tool, Rammstein & Iggy and the Stooges rumour thrown about, allegedy from a manager of a prominent Aussie band who's playing all shows. I have my doubts about Rammstein (though I'd love to see them again), but Tool and Iggy seem like reasonable guesses.

We'll know in about 6 days time anyway...

no shows on their site after 7/12.......

I'd hope so. I will admit the main reason I doubt it is because a Tool/Rammstein headlined BDO falls in the "too good to be true" category.

Also, I'm not so sure they'd book two "heavy" headline acts these days.

More clues have been released

http://www.thevine.com.au/music/fes...-announce-clues,-fan-speculation20100924.aspx

- One of the Big Day Out 2011 headline acts live in Los Angeles, California, USA. The other headliner doesn’t. Both are bands, neither are solo performers.
- One of the 2011 acts will perform their classic album. PS they have played BDO before.
- The 2011 act that will perform their classic album and have played BDO before IS NOT THE STOOGES!
- The two headlining bands have NEVER broken up!!!

The site speculates RHCP, Weezer and Tool. All but Weezer have played before and you could mount a case for each having a 'classic album'.

 

[Notorious_29]

Would be stoked with RHCP/Tool.

Rammstein has never broken up and do not live in LA

(hopeful).

[AndyLesPaul]

Why are you doing that?

also, one of the clues was, one of the headliners has played bdo, one hasn't

that means Rammstein and Tool can't be both headliners, which really rules out both of them playing, I mean, they're pretty much headliners.

Unless...

 

[Heisenberg_]

So no Soundgarden then

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

If you know who's paying, why play the games, just spill it.

 

[triplejdude]

Anyone think Korn are a chance? They're from California and have played before. Don't think they've ever broken up either.

Obviously they wouldn't be as good as say, RHCP or Tool but it could be worse.

Reread the hints:

- One of the Big Day Out 2011 headline acts live in Los Angeles, California, USA. The other headliner doesn’t. Both are bands, neither are solo performers.
- One of the 2011 acts will perform their classic album. PS they have played BDO before.

- The two headlining bands have NEVER broken up!!!

It doesn't mention anything about one of the headliners having never played the BDO before, so both Tool and Rammstein are definitely a possibility.

EMPIRE OF THE SUN
JOHN BUTLER TRIO
M.I.A.

DIE ANTWOORD
FOALS

Other Australian / New Zealand Acts:

THE LIVING END

GYROSCOPE

They're touring in December so I doubt it.

would not mind that line up.

would hope Rammstein do sideshows though.

I agree, the lineup would be awesome.

No... They're touring here in December anyway.
