Bought pre-sale last week.

Fucken pumped. This is the best line up of the summer (for Sydney at least). Perfect variety too, hip hop, drum n bass (High Contrast, check out This), electro house (the goood kind though, I love Surkin 'n Sinden's production work, so I'm hoping they play a similar sound when they DJ).

 

[astro^boi]

Cypress, Zabs, High Contrast and fuck yes to Pharoahe Monch!! simon saysss GET THE FUCK UP!!

 

[Rated E]

Here's to hoping it ain't overcrowded this year.

My prediction is that fluoro will pretty much have died off by the time February rolls around

 

[raverchik]

[hoptis]

Yep, Sydney was way over crowded too. It didn't help that they sold tickets on the door all day, when the event had already sold out.

Though I shouldn't complain that they did that, I rocked up and bought a ticket at 4 in the arvo, lol.

 

[raverchik]

I think I might buy one to Melb festival.. although I really can't afford it atm its so damn temping

 

[neverwas]

I dare say Sydney will be somewhat similar. Except replace the local Melbourne acts with the local Sydney acts.

It's weird how they name one of the stages Chinese Laundry. I know that one of the stages at the Sydney one is called that, but that was obviously to advertise Chinese Laundry (the club in Darling Harbour, since both Good Vibes and Chinese Laundry are run by Jam Music).

Maybe there's a Chinese Laundry in Melbourne? Though I doubt it... Possibly some clever cross city advertising.

 

[leecie]

sigh...I am selling my ticket. On the plus side, I was given 2 tickets to the Calvin Harris sideshow for my birthday, which was the main reason I was going anyway.

 

[hoptis]

Just sold my ticket too... bit festivaled out right now.
