Complete Festival Guide for 2011 (+Awards)

[deaths_friend]

yeah i'll fix it up tomorrow. thanks for the main square info.

How about GuilFest for July.. they've got Razorlight confirmed.. oh, and James Blunt - so maybe not!!

Rumours for Reading & Leeds : Muse / The Strokes / Pulp - though I can't see Pulp being a Reading / Leeds headliner!

i'll take a look at Guilfest to see if its 50 000+ or not or at least with a line up significant enough to match that. i'll add reading and leeds once the full line up is out.

[The Final Track]

Øya - Fleet Foxes, Pulp, Warpaint, Explosions In The Sky, Comeback Kid, Bring Me The Horizon /with more to come

[66]

There's a second Lolla this year... Think in Chile this August. Bunch of bands already confirmed. killers, yeah yeah yeahs, Ben Harper,... Can't remember the rest.

[SueDeNimes]

You can add Beady Eye, Kasabian and Eels to the lineup of Main Square Festival.
This is gonna be great! :awesome:

[deaths_friend]

yeah im really impressed by this Main Square festival. it only has a daily attendance of 30 000 so it pull a line up like that is very impressive.

seems like coldplay might get very well acquainted with kings of leon this summer haha. they're at about 5 festivals together.

[deaths_friend]

lollapalooza and main square edited.

[Crests]

i wanna go to warped tour and creationfest. :sad: :anxious:

[Christa42]

all points west is returning? geez what a shit show that was, i only went for Coldplay but it really was a disaster, hope its organized a bit better but dont know what they can do about the smell

[Crests]

Are any of these in Canada?

[Megalomania]

All Points West is returning? :surprised:
:awesome:
This may be my chance to see some more bands. :wacky:

If you really wanted to, you could add the Bamboozle (http://www.thebamboozle.com/)in April, but the lineup's shit so I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. :|

[Crests]

Ugh, there are only like 9 good artists for Bamboozle. gr0ss.

I would have loved to be there in 2009 though
http://www.gifsoup.com/view4/1656229/yayyyyy-o.giflulz~
:|

[Megalomania]

What 9 artists are you seeing? :uhoh:

[the_gloaming09]

is it actually confirmed that All Points West is returning this year?

[Megalomania]

I would have loved to be there in 2009 though
http://www.gifsoup.com/view4/1656229/yayyyyy-o.gif lulz~
:|

My friend was there. :wacky:

is it actually confirmed that All Points West is returning this year?

When I Googled "All Points West 2011 (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=598&q=all+points+west+2011&aq=f&aqi=g2&aql=&oq=)" the results were not promising. . ..

[Crests]

What 9 artists are you seeing?

none of your business :shifty:

[Megalomania]

none of your business :shifty:

the worst part about the lineup is that this year I had access to free tickets (my friend's mom works for the company that hosts Bamboozle). :disappointed:

[Crests]

My friend was there. :wacky:





DID SHE SEE HIM? :surprised:




i want to go to a festival someday ;__;

[Megalomania]

DID SHE SEE HIM? :surprised:




i want to go to a festival someday ;__;

I DON'T KNOW I'LL GO ASK.

Me too, next year Bamboozle isn't shit I'll try to go. :wacky:

OKAY

If I got offered free tickets I would have gone. :P

I wonder what next year's lineup will be. :surprised:
~not that I would get to go anyways~

[the_gloaming09]

That's what I thought too. Plus they cancelled it last year because in 2009 the weather was terrible. I was there and I had to throw out my shoes they were so covered in mud. Even so they really should have it. Honestly there is no good festival here in the tri-state area, nevermind the northeast. I loved APW in 2008. I got to see Radiohead, Andrew Bird, and Grizzly Bear and honestly it was awesome! 2009 was good (I saw Coldplay, Mogwai, Echo and Bunnymen, The Black Keys), but I guess the weather kind of hindered the experience from being as good as in 08. I still hope they have it.

[Crests]

Well, there's always the Winnipeg Folk Festival~

They had Andrew Bird, The Swell Season, The Cat Empire, and The Rural Alberta Advantage last year. :surprised:

[Megalomania]

OKAY

If I got offered free tickets I would have gone. :P

I wonder what next year's lineup will be. :surprised:
~not that I would get to go anyways~

I know, I probably should have. :P

turns out she wasn't there. :|

Oh, that's why? :thinking: Lucky, I wish I had been able to go. :P

I agree, Bamboozle is all we have and it's mostly punk bands. :shifty:

They did seem to always have a great lineup. :sad:

[the_gloaming09]

yeah apparently location was a big issue. but honestly I mean when you have so many thousands of people at a festival of course transportation is going to be a problem

[Megalomania]

yeah apparently location was a big issue. but honestly I mean when you have so many thousands of people at a festival of course transportation is going to be a problem

And so close to the city, they probably got a lot of traffic in and out of NYC. . . :thinking:
Although it's seriously so close to me, why couldn't I have gone? :freak:

[the_gloaming09]

well I got a ride in both times and yes it was hectic, and also looking at the trains going out I can only imagine how crazy it was. But even so when I went to Osheaga this year the lines were also crazy getting out since almost everyone was using the trains. I hope at least if they don't have it in Liberty State Park, it's in Central Park, which would be probably a lot more convenient for so many people.

Either way they need a festival for NY. I mean California and Chicago get one... so why not one for the most popular city in (arguably) the world?

Yeah, I can only imagine. :anxious:

Where's Osheaga? :thinking:

Yeah, the one positive thing about Bamboozle is that it's in the New Meadowlands Stadium parking lot, so no mud! :awesome:

Meh, I'd have to argue that Central Park is in the heart of Manhattan, which makes it really easy for anyone in NYC to get there. But it would be really crazy for anyone to drive there. It takes me 45 minutes longer than it should take to drive into NYC, and I can only imagine how much worse the traffic would be if there was a festival there. Especially since everyone in the area is festival-deprived; it would be crazy.
Although I do agree that NY needs a festival.

[the_gloaming09]

Osheaga is in Montreal


I guess that makes sense... well for you at least. Getting to the city is pretty convenient for me.

[Lore]

Lollapalooza Chile - The Killers, Jane's Addiction, Kanye West, 30 Seconds To Mars, Fatboy Slim, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Deftones, Cypress Hill, 311, The Flaming Lips

[Lore]

Coldplay have just been confirmed :awesome:

edit: no ok, don't consider it, besides Coldplay the first day, the other two headliners suck (they're italian), and I don't really think RHCP or Muse would come if they're not headlining

[Grace.]

yeah im really impressed by this Main Square festival. it only has a daily attendance of 30 000 so it pull a line up like that is very impressive.

Splendour last year only had a 30,000 attendance and it pulled a hell of a lineup.

EDIT: haha nevermind, apparently I didn't read your first post properly :facepalm:

[deaths_friend]

final line-up (Lolla chile)

Headliner announcements for Leeds & Reading on MONDAY 21st!

I'm getting my ticket for Leeds on Thursday! :D
Headliner rumours are Muse/Strokes/MCR

Two Door Cinema Club, The Streets, Crystal Castles, Funeral Party, and Noah And The Whale have all self-confirmed that they are going!!!! And so have Muse apparently.

[deaths_friend]

reading & leeds never lets down. but it will hard for them to top their bill from 2009.

[The Final Track]

Elbow will be heading to Pinkpop.

[EmmaLouiseSmyth]

You should update about oxegen.

http://www.oxegen.ie/wp-content/themes/oxegen/images/lineup/poster-2010.jpg

In terms of main acts, friday is pretty shit and saturday is meh.
I'm going to try to go to Sunday as I'm passing there on that day.

[The Final Track]

Eels <3

[deaths_friend]

wow those are some pretty steep prices for Oxegen. i don't i would be able to pick a day before seeing the full timetable for the festival. and what the fuck is brandon flowers doing so far up the bill??!!??!

[iPsy]

http://media.livenation.co.uk/leeds/j6wJjjij/5mq7dE8W/1jgSnHeI/Bb2NtYSe/poster_launch_2011.jpg
Leeds and Reading :)

[Crests]

Winnipeg Folk Festival just got announced, crap lineup this year though. :sad:

[The Final Track]

Winnipeg Folk Festival just got announced, crap lineup this year though. :sad:

Mountain Man, Tegan and Sara and kd Lang are worth seeing. How much is a ticket?

[deaths_friend]

so who will get bottled at reading n leeds this year? i can't think of any at this point. maybe if they announce a hip hop act it might be easier.

MCR got the treatment last time they played, they're headlining this time so thats less likely.

[deaths_friend]

made a massive update on basically every festival on the list. starting to notice they're all about the same lol

[deaths_friend]

massive update! about 6 more festivals added. all line ups updated. dates added to most festivals.

[deaths_friend]

i really didn't know where to post this other than here.

but NPR have uploaded a shit load of sets from Sasquatch including full 2hr sets from Wilco and Death Cab for Cutie as well as highlights from the Foo Fighters. a lot of the sets are downloadable for free in MP3 format.

http://www.npr.org/series/136238533/live-from-sasquatch-music-festival?ps=mh_frimg1

all the festival related stuff i find around the net i will be posting on here through the northern summer.

[deaths_friend]

Rock Am Ring 2011 coverage

www.dasding.de/rockamring

i can't read a word of german but i get the impression from that website that you can watch the stream there of coldplay's headlining performance. as well as Interpol, Gaslight Anthem and a few others.

[blue_girl]

uoh can you add Optimus Alive? July 6,7,8 and 9 :)

Coldplay,Foo Fighters, 30 Seconds To Mars, Kaiser Chiefs, White Lies and so on

[deaths_friend]

optimus alive added :)

Primavera took place last week. it was broadcast by radio station WFMU. you can listen to their recordings here. http://wfmu.org/playlists/SZ includes sets from animal collective, deerhunter, battles and interpol.

Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park as you all know was last weekend. the line up was very very poor. i had a look at the set times and i would've been very bored had i gone. anyways here's a bit of footage.

next weekend is probably the biggest of the year with Pinkpop, Bonnaroo, Isle of Wight, Jammin and Download Festivals taking place. fingers crossed for some good webcasts and tv coverage. Pinkpop almost always has decent radio and tv coverage with 3VOOR12? Bonnaroo i fear might be a Vevo only webcast meaning only those in north american can watch. Isle of Wight is usually covered by one of the british tv channels.

Bonnaroo is webcasting for all here - www.bonnaroo/webcast

good line up of performances!!

no such coverage for Pinkpop or Download. although Isle of Wight is being covered by Sky TV.

noooo i either already missed deas vail or am going to
TIMEZONES *shakes fist*

[deaths_friend]

I missed Flo + Machine but My Morning Jacket are frken awesome. last time they played they did a 3hr+ set. they've been going for almost 2hrs tonight as well.

i'm expecting a massive set from AF.

[deaths_friend]

so anyone watching M&S? holy crap these guys have become one effing huge rock band!

[Grace.]

Just tuned in. Loove M&S. Most awesome 'rock' band with banjoes around :P

[deaths_friend]

and they're doing a 90min set!! i've seen bands with 4-5 albums who only do 80min sets *cough*phoenix*cough*

not a huge fan of their album but probably one of the most impressive live shows i've ever been to. great muscianship, great stage presence, great chemistry.....great everything really.

[Grace.]

naww I love phoenix!

But yes, I agree, they were definitely a highlight for the third day of Splendour last year. Just awesome.

[deaths_friend]

i guess when it comes to live music i'm a firm believer in quantity= quality.

annoyed that i'll miss AF's entire set thanks to freken work.

[Grace.]

Haha, really? I'd rather have an amazing 30min set than a dull 90min set. (Not sure that's entirely what you meant, but hey).

Stupid work. But hey, Sunday pay :awesome:

[Grace.]

Also, the banjo player's beard is horrendous.

[deaths_friend]

hahahah and he's a tad weird too!

well the thing is i usually only go see a band if i like their albums or a ton of their singles. and i'm talking about major bands here. for example if i go see arctic monkeys tomorrow and they decide to play almost every song off their new album and a few from each other album and end up doing a 30 song set. in my mind there's no way that could beat a 18 song set regardless how intense it is.

for example this M&S set here. 70mins in now, only 1 album behind them and there hasn't been a dull moment yet.

[Grace.]

Awwwww :heart: they're singing to me! :P

[Grace.]

Seriously though, I understand what you mean. But if a band's good live, they're going to be good regardless so of course a longer set is going to be better.

[deaths_friend]

now this is what i call some knee slapping fun!

[Grace.]

I've got the biggest grin on my face right now :D

[deaths_friend]

alrighty Arcade Fire time. i'll watch their entrance then leave.

nice watching with you Grace :)

and can i just add. imo Bonnaroo is the only festival in the world that can hold a candle to glastonbury.

[Grace.]

Aww ok, have fun at work! You'll be sure to hear all about it, I'm sure.

Likewise, Jamie :nice:

[deaths_friend]

alrighty. 2 days down 1 to go. I've only ever seen The Strokes do "festival sets" before so it will awesome to be able to watch a full 1.5hr set.

[deaths_friend]

bit of festival money news

Coachella 2011
April 15-17, 2011
Total Revenue - $US24,993,698
Attendance - 75 000

[Grace.]

So, when's the next webcast? :awesome:

[deaths_friend]

next good one is Lollapalooza. but in the meantime i'll be looking for a place to stream Glasto off bbc. rock werchter used to have an awesome multi stage webcast so with some luck that might return but it might be a regional only thing. i'll post footage from all the other telecast festivals as they happen.

but Pitchfork Fest in mid july is usually webcast. so thats the next stop for us :)

[Grace.]

Sweeet. I'm really going to be relying on you when it comes to these things, I'd really have no idea about any festivals going on outside Aus besides the lineups!
Thanks for doing such a great job so far though! :hug:

[deaths_friend]

awww you're very welcome. i'm glad someone else is just as interested as i am.

people dream about going to paris, london, madrid, NY, tokyo etc etc. i dream about going to roskilde, t in the park, coachella and bonnaroo lol.

[Grace.]

Add Glastonbury to that list, and I'm the same :D

I'm sure I'd enjoy the local scenery at those places too, though :p

[deaths_friend]

oh yeah that was a very very small sample of what i want to do. Glasto is my number 1 and i will be sure to be there in 2013. 2014 at the latest!! i gotta do a few more aussie fests first just to get the hang of the experience.

[Grace.]

^ *Aussie camping festivals? Have you been to any yet or will Splendour be your first? :awesome:

Wahhh that's so close! That's awesome, going to Glasto will be such an amazing experience!!
Going there one day would just complete my life. It definitely won't be happening as early as 2013 (that's the year I'll graduate) but one day, I will go!

[deaths_friend]

yeah splendour is my first. and im going to try and get a group together for Falls this new years. something tells me they might just get a freken awesome line up.
