should be a good day with the right mix of drugs and alcohol taken at a steady pace.
biggest problem with bdo is the venue, its like some sort of ghetto. festivals should be about green fields and freedom to have a drink without being penned in like cattle

And for anyone who cares TOOL are the real deal and are amazing live. Dont like, dont watch-easy. For the person who slagged Deftones, I hope your car runs out of petrol and you have to walk to the gig all sweaty and angry. Iggy will be mean as will Wolfmother, Lupi, Rammstein and Kid Kenobi. Good to see the rock back!!

I dont have much to say but here goes. For a start everyone chill the hell out~ Its gunna be a stink day out if I run into any of the moaners Ive read about above. Be stoked that we get to be off work and get pist in the sun with your crew or ya mrs or both. I reckon the lineup is betta than the last 2 yrs so be happy.

YAY AT LAST DIE ANTWOORD!...... I CANT WAIT!

Grrr!!! Rammstein should be headlining. Watch out for the fireballs!!

Ahh tool. It makes me laugh when people hate on Tool, because it just proves their musical ignorance. When I heard tool were headlining I seriously nearly creamed. And there are some other awesome bands too! Theres only one shit thing about it, and thats that i have to wait!

I <3 TOOL MUTHAFUKKKKKKAAAAA

yayyyy M.I.A! i know she's gonna be the best on the day.

Is that price for real, $150 + GST + booking fee? Don't they know there's a recession going on?

Posted by anonymous - anonymous 1 year ago

Great line up! A really big improvement on the last 2 years of mediocrity(besides Neil Young)

where the f**k is the stone temple pilots...

A little average in my opinion, would've liked a bunch of other rumours to have been true but maybe next time.
But guys, everyone's allowed they're own taste in music, stop hating on the Tool fans.

Tool...hell yeah!

Posted by jomx 1 year ago

Shihad should play the Pacifier album, everytime I hear run or comfort me I almost crap my pants.

Tool is a band that deserves your respect even if you don't like them. Get f**ked and stop bagging shit you don't like. What a goddamn waste of time.

less fag bfm crap? geez you just mentioned linkin park... so stoked for iggy and the stooges, black keys and grinderman best line up in a while

needs more good local ROCK like LUGER BOA or the FEELERS or AUTOZAMM and less fag bfm alternative crap. So stoked about TOOL and I AM GIANT tho gonna be EPIC AS! LINKIN PARK would be cool also.

NO ARCADE FIRE... But other than that pretty f**king amazing.

F*uck you all!
this is gonna be f**king sick this is like the best lineup they have had in 5 years!

Posted by Burt - anonymous 1 year ago

its bloddy beetroots death crew 77 not 2 seperate people

why do they always repeat headliners..atleast get one were the crowd will be livly moshing etc

Tool fans are so thick, they go around wearing tool t shirts that have a c**k and balls on it, while fag calling and listening to Rock fm! If you wear a shirt with a dick on it..... you are a dick! I bet the band know that too and laugh all the way to the bank.

f**king hell, I for one am STOKED Tool is coming!! Anyone who doesn't like them just don't f**king watch them, srsly, and if the lineup is a disappointment then just don't spend the money and don't go!! Easy as that. There's still more announcements to come so what's the big deal.
So much hating on Tool is bad for your karma.

Waiting for better bands to be announced...

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is going to remake my life in one day.

Posted by Brad - anonymous 1 year ago

Meh. Tool have some technical and clever songs,
but they f**king suck. They make me wanna fill my ears
with foam to drown out their tasteless shit as do blink 182, yellowcard
and the aformentioned bands.

The rest of that bdo line up seems pretty interesting.

tool is for tools

thats for the fag down the bottem

mate tool is one of the worlds best bands thats ever walked the earth. wat talet does blink 182 or the living end have? piss all if u ask me. u wouldnt know a good band if it bit u on the ass
