One I'd clearly like to attend, the other I have no intention of going within 5km of. Before committing to either one or both days, I'd need to know which one FNM were headlining.
Last year the program came out only a week or two before the event. This can't happen for the next Soundwave if they expect a 2-day format to work.
All things said and done though, my calendar is clear for that weekend, and I'm excited by the prospect of a decent lineup with less stages, less clashes and longer sets.
Is that common practice? That's fucking disgusting.
There was a festival in Korea a couple of years ago. Before tickets even went on sale, they had the line ups. It was a three day festival.
I was in Oz at the time, but apparently everyone I knew who went, dug it. No one went the entire three days, but they loved being able to pick and choose.
My partner missed MARTINE TOPLEY-BIRD, which I BEGGED her to go see. I was pissed once she told me that.

It's not thankfully, normally they're out a few months before. Though to be honest in the context of a one day festival I don't see it as a huge deal.

Well, sounds like we won't know in advance. The will announce the whole lineup at once, and sell 2-day passes from the start. Eventually the program will be announced and 1-day tickets sold. Not sure I really like that idea, but will reserve judgement for now.

Yeah, no, I meant for a multi-day festival. Obviously for a one day festival, no one gives a damn what time exactly the acts go on.
For a two or more day festival, I'd expect a clear indication.
To be completely honest, I really hope I have this issue this summer. I haven't been in this position for so long, I'm really, really excited.

AJ said there were no headliners for BDO, announces a 2 day festival with 4 for soundwave.
He really did kill it.

But the consumer isn't going to be found wanting, right?

Maybe, doesn't make much sense that he's still involved with the BDO if that's the case.

He sold his stock in bdo a couple weeks ago to the lolla folks while pretending he didn' t for a short time ... Could have been legal reasons or he could have been playing the game ... Which by the way, were a large portion of West's chunk of ownership since Kenny sold out before last year had officially hit the skids not long after AJ bought in
Not sure on the SW ticket sale dates but AJ 'says' he wants the line- up out Septemberish

Also, Fear Factory likely based on twats between them and AJ

Might go to the 2015 festival, the lineup seems pretty sick so far.
