I saw that Shadows Fall were previously announced, but not in the official line up. Will they be announced later? I'd like to see them.

haha accordion and violin ftw

 

[lyall]

Devin
BLS
SOAD
Mastodon
Gojira
Turisas
MH

Im in

Edit: WTF with limp bizkit? They still exist?

Edit again: Line up lacks Manowar

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Thinking of heading to Sydney as well as the Melbourne show, just to make sure that clashes don't mean I miss someone.

Devin
Gojira
Kvelertak
BLS
Meshuggah
Dillinger
Machine Head

Going to be a big day, and few nights before hand with sideshows.

BDO can go suck a fat one. Soundwave is what BDO use to be, before it became an 'event' for non-music loving turds who just go to get on the bickies with their cut-off denim short, white canvas shoe wearing brethren.

Awesome line-up- if only Soundgarden chose Soundwave over BDO it would be almost perfect.

I like the way you think

 

[Macca19]

Best lineup ive ever seen at a festival in Australia. Huuuuugge.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Best lineup ive ever seen at a festival in Australia. Huuuuugge.

Big call that Macca, the first BDO that came to Adelaide in 1993 was fairly spectacular...

Sonic Youth
Mudhoney
Iggy Pop
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy
You Am I
The Hard Ons
The Clouds
Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine
Beasts of Bourbon
Armoured Angel
Spy vs. Spy
Helmet
TISM
Not Drowning Waving
Tumbleweed
Swordfish

If only the BDO could come up with something similar these days...

 

[Kerrby]

Dear BDO. this Is a music festival

I can't believe how shit BDO is compared to Soundwave. I can't believe how shit BDO is in general this year.

I'm actually thinking I may have to convince my mate to come to Soundwave instead, that line up is incredible.

BDO has been shit for a few years now.

BDO has been shit for a few years now.

If you want a laugh, go to the Big Day Out facebook page and read the comments.

The whole facebook page exploded last night with people saying they're switching over to Soundwave lol. Seriously, it's the 20th anniversary of Big Day Out and the best they can get is Kanye West? No one even likes Kanye West.

It's because he's a gay fish.

A few years? Its been shit since 1994, but its always been catered for the JJJ crowd. Looks like its gearing for the MMM crowd now

 

[Kerrby]

I wouldn't even say that, from what I've seen it hasn't catered to any crowd.

 

[Bronx Bomber]

Kanye West on MMM?

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Kerrby has nailed it.

They appear to have just grabbed anyone that would say yes and it would also appear that all the good artists had already said yes to Soundwave.

Fair recovery from the Revolution debacle by the Soundwave crew.

 

[thurmanmunson]

Kanye West on MMM?

Doesn't r'n'b get played on MMM or is it that FoxFM?

Whatever. It sucks ass

This morning is hilarious. BDO taking a hammering on their own fb page. Soundwave slaying them!

Soundwave craps on any previous BDO I think. BDO lineups never seem to run very deep.

Alternative Nation 95 is another which was a level above what any BDOs have been, in my opinion...

Nine Inch Nails
Faith No More
Lou Reed
Live
Violent Femmes
Tool
The Tea Party
Primus
Ice-T
Bodycount
Pennywise
The Flaming Lips
Pop Will Eat Itself
Therapy?
Ween
L7
Powderfinger
Regurgitator
Spiderbait
etc

 

[MelbourneCrow]

All very subjective chaps.

I think its the best BDO line up for quite some time, and am delighted to be seeing KanYe, Soundgarden, Kasabian and Royksopp on the same bill and a few others I like the look of too.

And 5 days later I will be delighted to see SOAD, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Machine Head and Trivium on the same bill. There's plenty of stuff at Soundwave that I find lame and surely many of you won't go near either!?!?

 

[Kerrby]

Not only did they just grab anyone, they grabbed a whole heap of crap. My Chemical Romance? The Living End? Kanye West? Even Tony Hawk for ****s sake!
Soundwave has done a huge recovery, lets hope they see it through this time.

This morning is hilarious. BDO taking a hammering on their own fb page. Soundwave slaying them!

To be fair the admin on BDO page took it well and was quite funny. Still some of the comments about Soundwave being better were hilarious.

Argh, every time I look at the BDO page I get more and more disappointed.

happy memories - that was a great festival (despite the weather).

bdo has been terrible for a long time.

 

[La Dispute]

Lot of terrible bands with a lot of really good bands.

Will probably see a few sideshows.

 

[Drummer_19]

Line up is ****ing terrible. Someone needs to tell these organisers its not 2004 anymore and half these bands arent even relevant anymore. Sick of seeing the same headliners all the time.

Will put my coin towards seeing DEP sideshow.

Who am I kidding, i'll prob end up burning money on a soundwave ticket to. If only to heckle Coal Chamber and mebbe see some bands and stuff.

 

[Isandula]

Woohoo System and Slipknot ...and countless other bands....Soundwave is looking fantastic, now to get a ticket, reckon it will be hard? I sense a bloody load ending up on ebay, not cool

 

[PHX]

Naa too easy. Got my pre-sale ticket this morning for Melbourne and you can still buy them now.
