Lineup has dropped, got a 2 day festival now. Lineup is already decent with more to come no doubt, for an old metal head like me there's plenty to keep me coming back. Mayhem is a great addition, should be a pisser.

I want to be excited, especially considering that we won't have a Big Day Out next summer but alas all the bands that I'm interested in, I've already seen on more then one occasion. Apparently Opeth were asked to come, but they're apparently going down the Queens of The Stone Age route and said no festivals.

I was hoping that the 2 day festival would have made it possible for Opeth to play, given with the 45 min slots they'd get about 4 and a half songs in. I've seen pretty much all of those bands too but I'll still go, always good fun.

Being only passing fan, I would have been happy to see Opeth on the festival. I probably wouldn't see them otherwise.

Faith No More save the festival the me. I'm keen for Soundgarden and Godflesh as well, but apart from that it's a pretty average lineup for me. They did a pretty good job of getting all the bands I like on one day - Day 2 is pretty much a waste of time for me.
 
Yeah pretty meh for me at the moment. Have loved the last three lineups but theres not enough there to get me going as yet.

Day 1 Sydney looks good to me; day 2 not sold on yet. There are still 2 more announcements to come though aren't there? It's usually 3 right?

There are 14 more bands to be added apparently, one of which will be a headliner (presumably for Day 2). Rise Against and Machine Head are two of the bands I hear are likely for this 2nd announcement.
 
Should have kept it to one day. I've been to the last 5 but not sure if I'll be going to this one yet. Most of these bands have been here pretty recently or I've seen at soundwave before. If the follow up announcements have a few decent bands I'll probably end up going. Annoyed Mastodon played this year, loving their new album so would have liked to see them again.
 
The FNM/Soundgarden/LoG day seems by far the better of the two days, but I'll definitely go to both. Looking forward to seeing the Mars Volta chaps in their new venture.
 
Killer lineup as far as I'm concerned - I'm more into heavy/hard music than metal so it really appeals to my taste.

Totally stoked to see Ministry on the lineup - one of the best bands I've ever seen live (will be 20 years on from their Big Day Out headline tour - I was lucky enough to see them at the Sydney BDO and the following night at Selinas). I'm not sure that they can bring the level of sheer power they did then but hopefully will still be good - they are definitely the loudest band I've ever seen.

True - their albums have been downhill since Filthpig.
 
Worst lineup in years made even weaker by being stretched over two days. Should be able to get a couple of decent sideshows but not worth wasting an entire weekend on.
 
I could not be more excited for this. Some of my favourite bands are on this line up.

Mastodon need to do their own tour. Everytime they hit Oz it seems as though it's part of a festival or as a support act. Surely they're big enough now to warrant a decent tour.

They will be doing a headline tour this year.

The only acts I'd be interested and my interest in Slipknot and Fall Out Boy is using the loosest definition possible.

They continue to raise the bar on their records that's for sure. But to be honest I didn't find them that great as a live act (the vocals are horrendous), I've only seen them at festivals though so maybe harsh to judge them.

I've seen them only once (at Soundwave in 2012?) and I thought the vocals were fine. They're not really a strong point of the band in the first place. Didn't see them last year though since Living Colour played at the same time.

Fair call about the vocals not being the main focus, I agree. Something about them wasn't that great, not sure about what it was. Though from memory they were playing right around Lamb Of God and Meshuggah so not too easy to follow those guys.
 
Just got my two day pass via the pre-sale :) Can't wait for Soundgarden, they were awesome last tour at the BDO and Myer Music Bowl side show. Always like Incubus and haven't seen FNM before which I'm excited about

Soundgarden were sensational on that tour. (not quite as good as their 1994 tour but still rocking!).
