I was at work on Friday so wasn’t able to update you guys about an extra release of tickets for the Brisbane Tool side show. Luckily for us all though, Gold Standing tickets are still available as I write this! If you missed out the first time then make sure you get on top of this pretty quick, since I imagine there aren’t many left!
Hawaii ticket sales seem to have gone well for most of you. My understanding is there’s still tickets available for that too.
As far as other Tool shows go, the Melbourne sideshow is sold out, and there’s a thread you can use to get tickets here. Big Day Outs in Melbourne and the Gold Coast are sold out, as is the first Sydney Big Day Out, however you can still get tickets to the New Zealand, 2nd Sydney, Adelaide and Perth Big Day Outs. I expect that the NZ, Perth and Adelaide Big Day Outs will all sell out sometime prior to the show, so don’t leave your tickets too late.
A Perfect Circle play their last tour date today in Las Vegas, ending their short West Coast mini tour. Reports from Fourtheye readers indicate the shows have been great. Billy has been dropping hints that they’ll be back in February. If this is true it’d be late February as Tool will be in Australia until the 6th and I’m sure Maynard would like a little time to visit his vineyards before he heads out on the road again.
Got my Auckland tickets sorted over the weekend. Shame we dont seem to be getting a sideshow in NZ. Oh well, at least the BDO line-up is pretty good. Looking foward to the Black Keys, Deftones and Iggy. Does any one know if there will be another lineup anouncement like previous years?

The 2nd announcement is almost always before December, so very soon you’d imagine.
I’d bet that Hellboy is right and it’s this week.

No inside info, though I did hear that the Big Day Out would have either Tool or Soundgarden and not both. Â More that Soundgarden are far too big an act to be announced at this late stage.
this festival could use radiohead and the smashing pumpkins to make it tasty
They often hang back one big name for the second lineup… Guess we’ll see, it’s announced at FasterLouder today at Midday!

Yeah but Soundgarden is just too big.
LOL.

You were right, I was wrong. Nothing to see here!
Worst second announcement ever…
Who was it? Donny Osmund?

I expected there to at least be some decent Aussie bands announced, but I couldn’t give a flying fuck about any of the artist on that underwhelming announcement.
You Am I were heavily rumored. Would have been more then satisfied with that.
Â
Â
Still, no fussed. Tool/Deftones/Rammstien/Grinderman got me over the line.
Â
Everything else is a bonus.
Â
Â
Well, Powderfinger announced themselves…But maybe that aint happening now?
To be honest the only aussie bands I would be excited about would be
The Butterfly Effect
Karnivool
Cog
Who i’ve all seen a million times each
Dead Letter Circus (already playing)
Birds of Tokyo (already playing)
Parkway Drive
But come on! It’s supposed to be a rock festival!

I think the Powderfinger thing was a joke. Â I’m a little surprised Jakob weren’t added.
Oh really?
Did you see him say it on the Arias?
I thought he sounded pretty serious…Anyway, I don’t want them there!
actually, straight from the horse’s (Ken West) mouth, “Who said it was a rock festival? The first application to council described it as a Youth, Music and Lifestyle event. It still is.”
…but I know what you were getting at
YOU BETTER
Soundgarden pulled out just before the 1st Announcement

I wouldn’t write off RATM. too many dollars to be made for the members to not play any more shows…
Who says Soundgarden pulled out?
