Big Day Out 2014

[Birds in Hell]

I'd be quite pleased if they cancelled the whole thing, I'm sure we'd get a Pearl Jam tour at some stage, but I don't hold out much hope. I think it's more likely they'll try to push ahead, possibly with a longer Pearl Jam set, as it'll end up costing too much to cancel the whole thing and refund everyone who already bought tickets.

I honestly have no idea, though.

[ridleybradout]

That's what it will come down to - is it cheaper to push on and suffer a loss, or deal with the costs of cancelling now.

I just hope they make a decision before Arcade Fire sideshow tickets sell out

[Norah]

You guys should take this all the way to the Prime Minister!

They're facing monumental losses regardless of what happens now. The BDO brand will basically evaporate over the next three years.

They should just announce that PJ will play a full 3 hour set from 8pm. Would bring in a few people who are holding off going I reckon.

Maybe.

Tom and Alex were talking to a 'music news' guy (I didn't catch his name) on Triple J this morning. He was talking about the options BDO have, whether they have a replacement act, or PJ may play a 3+ hour set as they have been lately on tour. He followed that last one up with "it's a real possibility". I'm starting to think that guy's a regular on here...

[Norah]

I can't hear the word possibility these days without thinking of that.

Aw huh.

Don't disrespect my vagina okay.

Whenever I see fishbob's name, I can't help but think of this:



Time to trade in that creepy old guy avatar I say...

Thanks Sarg, I knew you'd come through with the goods

AJ set to reveal 3 international bands to replace Blur this afternoon (1 UK, 2 US).

My money's on the Black Keys and Beady Eye. Sleater-Kinney are one of the other rumours...

[Rangi Guy]

I'd heard Smashing Pumpkins were a good beat....


And - I stand corrected
"Bands that won't be on the list include the Smashing Pumpkins, Massive Attack, The Black Keys, AC/DC, Pulp and Guns N' Roses."

Beady Eye and Sleater Kinney are good bets. Someone like Gomez or Turin Brakes too.

[Birds in Hell]

S-K were already ruled out by AJ on Twitter sometime in the last few days.

My tickets arrived today, all holographic and whatnot.

[Birds in Hell]

Beady Eye, I mean, seriously. That's a pretty terrible replacement (if true).

Yeah - I'd be pretty gutted if this turns out to be accurate
