Official BDO 2008 Thread

[BomberGal]

I am a massive fan of Arcade Fire, but they are a level below RATM and Muse.
Not a fan of Tool really but they are still much bigger then Arcade Fire

Exactly.

It'd kick arse if Arcade Fire did BDO!

I asked before, no-one answered...when is the first announcement? Is there a date set or is it just the usual 'soon'?

Err BDO was originally at the Showgrounds...

exactly... i always thought the showgrounds were tops...

 

[w00dy]

Err BDO was originally at the Showgrounds...

yeah, i know... but i preferred it when it was held at princes park... no bottlenecks, green and essential stages side by side, very quick to get from one stage to the next... i believe now the renovations of the showgrounds are complete they could've gone back there, but they've chosen not to...

Heard COG's latest offering today. Hopefully with their album out soon they'll be making an appearance too.

Something tells me RATM have made a pretty sizeable hole in the budget if that is true

Renovations made it impossible to go back to the Showgrounds. No spaces large enough for main stages anymore. Poor planning by the Vic Govt. Lees and West were a tad peed off when the Big Day Out wasn't taken into account with the renos...

No, Flemmington is the racecourse next to the Showgrounds...the one where a little race is held each November...where parking was previously available for Big Day Outs

I'm aware of that. I live a stone's throw away...

When I heard it was at Flemington though, I assumed it meant the suburb and thus the Showgrounds. I guess not.

if thats the major acts then im really not all that impressed.
hopefully someone better comes out in the official announcement.

Saw some of Bjork's Coachella set on Youtube.

It looked phenomenal

Any other rumours Fwoy?

Bands that have new albums out or coming that havent toured them yet?
Foos / Shihad possibly?

Foos are coming in Dec so not them

But the rumors are of Arcade Fire and maybe Smashing Pumpkins and Bjork
