Summer Festivals: Good Vibrations 2010 Lineup

So the weather is better and that means it's that time of year, the release of 2010 Summer Festival dates and lineups. The BDO has already had its first and I decided not to go because there aren't enough bands I wanted to see to warrant the high price of tickets. However, Good Vibrations is looking like a better option for me. I've always assumed that Good Vibrations is a more dance festival and I think it still is mainly but considering the lineup for 2010 I am seriously considering.

Now on to the all important dates:

Sat February 13th - Sydney, Centennial Park
Sun February 14th - Perth, Claremont Showgrounds
Sat February 20th - Gold Coast, Parklands Showgrounds
Sun February 21st - Melbourne, The Nursery Flemington Racecourse

Tickets are on sale now and are $139 for General admin and $199 for a VIP tix. By the way, I have no idea what a VIP ticket includes. Please note there are booking fees when booking online. I'm not sure if you can buy them at a licenced outlet.

LINEUP!!!!
The Killers
Basement Jaxx
Gossip
Friendly Fires
Salt-N-Pepa
Art vs Science
Armand Van Helden
Busta Rhymes
Gym Class Heroes
+ a whole host of others

See here to buy tickets if you are convinced.

This is looking pretty good right now and I have to go to at least one music festival this year...its an Aussie tradition so what's it going to be?? Any advice fellow music lovers...

Will update when further acts are announced.

I'm not dead....Summer Festivals: BDO 2010 Lineup 1

Hello fellow fans of music

A few days ago the initial BDO lineup was released and OMG (I've been watching far too much Gossip Girl for some reason) MUSE are headlining. This could be the one for me this year as I've only ever been to one BDO since in previous yrs I've only ever wanted to see 1 or 2 bands but there are a few bands that are making the trip so the $140 price tag might be worth it. I was also a bit bummed that the David Bowie rumour didn't eventuate but it is still good. Although, do I want to wait and see if Muse do any side shows and just spend the $$$ on that, what do you all think? Ok, moving on....

The lineup so far is:

1. MUSE
2. Lily Allen
3. The Mars Volta
4. Ladyhawke
5. Peaches
6. Kasabian
7. The Decemberists
8. Powderfinger
9. Eskimo Joe
10. Groove Armada

+ many more already listed and to come.
