More or less the same lineup as two years ago, they just swapped out Casper for Bassnectar’s second (recent) aussie adventure and added flume and porter robinson, then padded it with radio crap ala example and 360; if you’re gonna bring cheese to the party, at least make sure its a goddamn brie or something. This’ll be completely stock, with the same house/electro/trance you’ve heard at every other festival on the east coast in the past four-five years – I guess you need big label names to sell tickets to the acads crowd.

Luckily for punters, alcohol + drugs + music + sun is always a good combination and you kids’ll be sweet. Just be mindful of the big stick; Kicks is using you as a cash piñata.

It’s Canberra, dude. If Hitler’s marching band toured here, it’d be a show to attend! Be thankful any of the ‘same lineup’ and radio cheese even bother to attend.

My sentiments exactly!

I’m down with OPP (theoretically)

Vava voom 😀

Dash Berlin and Bassnectar?? To Canberra?? Wow!
Organisers aren’t lying in order to boost ticket sales, I hope. 🙂

They’re inevitable Open YourMind…. They’re coming. In all their yawnful predictability.

I’ll get in first. I’m just waiting for the mandatory comment from someone saying something about how they don’t know anyone in the lineup and the last real music was Bruce Springsteen or Simon and Garfunkle. So for those fuddy duddys, the good news is you don’t have to attend and you can leave your dress vest and cord pants for another event!

If I get frustrated with the time it takes to order a drink can I chain myself to the bar?
