Festival Season is upon us!

I bring this up cause I'm seeing some amazing line ups in where I won't be this summer.

Rock Werchter:

Quote

Coldplay, The Killers, Placebo, Metallica, Kings of Leon, ?Limp Bizkit?, Oasis, Mastodon, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Dave Matthews Band, The Streets, Amy McDonald, Elbow, 2manydjs, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, The Prodigy, Katy Perry, Tiga, Seasick Steve, Jason Mraz, Emiliana Torrini, Henry Rollins-Spoken Word, Nine Inch Nails, Kaiser Chiefs, Lily Allen, The Mars Volta, Flaming Lips, Pendulum, Laurent Garnier, Röyksopp, Mogwai, Ghinzu, Fleet Foxes, Social Distortion, Lady Gaga, Just Jack, Priscilla Ahn, M. Ward, The Hickey Underworld, Black Eyed Peas, Boys Noize, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Eagles of Death Metal, White Lies, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Regina Spektor, The Script, De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig, Expatriate.

I would go for those 9 names alone. I can't believe Metallica is going again. I think it's the 6th time?

But seriously, Limp Bizkit?

Also Dour:

of note: MSTRKRF, I'm From Barcelona, Deerhoof, Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares, Digitalism, Crystal Castles, 65daysofstatic, 5 Elements of Hip Hop (?!?!), The Aggrolites.

I would go to Dour. Yes I would.

You guys eyeing anything? Thinking of doing something special? Wish you could go somewhere? Why is Limp Bizkit touring?

Why is Limp Bizkit touring?

They're touring because, in a sure sign of the imminent apocalypse, they've reunited.

shut up shut up shut up the only good music festivals we get here are dance music festivals and if you thought the amount of dudes with their shirts off, being obnoxious dicks was high at a normal music festival wait until the headliner is the Chemical Brothers

Also technically festival season is over in the Southern Hemisphere although I'm waiting on the 09 splendour lineup since its usually pretty passable and I kind of want to actually go this year.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #3 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 08:35 »

Oh and ATP New York September looks frakking amazing.

The obnoxious dudes without shirts is why I have reservations about Dour.

BlahBlah · « **Reply #4 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 08:51 »

Primavera looks fucking amazing this year.

Neil Young, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine!

Shame that it's during my exams.

Sasquatch 2009 is the only festival for me!

Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction (all orig. members), Ben Harper & the Relentless7, Kings of Leon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Decembrists, TV on the Radio, The Walkmen, of Montreal, Animal Collective, M83, The Wrens, Calexico, Doves, Devotchka, Crystal Castles, Fleet Foxes, Gogol Bordello, Grizzly Bear, Santigold, Silversun Pickups, Explosions in the Sky, Demetri Martin, Bon Iver, The Dutchess and the Duke, Girl Talk, Bishop Allen, Passion Pit, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, M. Ward, Ra Ra Riot, The Gaslight Anthem, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, The Avett Brothers, The Murder City Devils, John Vanderslice, The Dodos, The Airborne Toxic Event, Blitzen Trapper, Horse Feathers, and even freaking more.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #6 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 10:54 »

I'm thinking about doing Starscape again this year.

Bands I'd see:
Disco Biscuits
Bassnectar
Lotus
Leko
Evol Intent

Only thing is, tickets are like 55$, plus money for drugs on top of that and water is going to end up being like 80$. And I might have to buy two tickets. ARGH. It'd probably be cheaper for me to just go find some X and make a few mix CD's.

What a coincidence! That's exactly who I was last year. This year it's SKINNY WHITE SUNBURNT STONER BOI II: THE VENGEANCE!

Be My Head · « **Reply #12 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 15:48 »

If there was a decent metal festival around here I would go, but yeah, no.

Metope · « **Reply #13 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 15:48 »

I'm gonna be at the Øya festival in August, bands I'm looking forward to see so far are:
Wilco, Grizzly Bear, Beirut, Datarock, Röyksopp, Beach House, Bon Iver, Chairlift, Harrys Gym and I Was A King.
Many more will be announced during the next months, it will be so great.

Also about that Rock Werchter festival, I really don't like the lineup (and I've already seen the few bands I like before), but there's a small chance I'm gonna be there anyway since I might be in the area and my friend kinda wants to. Well who knows, at least I could make my brother jealous by seeing Rollins.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #14 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 15:49 »

Beirut?!

JEALOUSY

Metope · « **Reply #15 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 15:52 »

I know! It's so great! He was on the lineup last year too, but ended up canceling all of his European shows that summer and I was so sad. I'm so excited about getting to see him this summer, hopefully he wont cancel this time.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #16 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 16:00 »

have you ever seen A Hawk and a Hacksaw? amazing live band. don't miss an opportunity to see them, if you can help it.

oh, and on the off chance that you haven't heard them (!!!) they are a similar sort of eastern European folk music, usually centered around accordion and holy shit they are fantastic.

Metope · « **Reply #17 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 16:09 »

Haven't seen them yet, but it's funny you should mention that since they're playing here at the end of May. I can't wait, apparently this is a really good year for live music in Oslo!

Avec · « **Reply #18 on:** 06 Apr 2009, 18:53 »

Would Warped Tour really be considered a festival? I don't know, but I am looking forward to it regardless.

valley_parade · « **Reply #19 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 09:11 »

No. For the second year in a row, I am too fucking old for Warped Tour and the bands all fucking suck.

Avec · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 09:20 »

They were alright last year. I suppose they're alot better when you're shit faced too.

valley_parade · « **Reply #21 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 09:26 »

I mean, it's cool if you're into scenecore or whatever. The last Warped I really, really enjoyed was 2006. The only reason I thought about going last year was to see Street Dogs, and I ended up catching them on their headlining tour in Boston in September anyway, for like $15.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #22 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 09:27 »

Yeah, I had wanted to go to Warped for a long time growing up, but then I realized most of the bands I wanted to see are shit.

Avec · « **Reply #23 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 10:13 »

Some good ones I can recall were;

Shwayze
Bring Me The Horizon
Norma Jean

Those were reason enough for me to go last year.

Scenecore is rather harsh, but I suppose.

'06 was my last one as well. I might go this year to see Gallows and maybe Bad Religion.
I can understand not liking many of the bands there. I accidentally saw My Chemical Romance live and it almost ruined music forever. But, too old? Pshhh whatever.

Thinking of assing my way on over to Sasquatch. Not too bad of a drive.

Avec · « **Reply #27 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 17:48 »

Just as an example;

When I mention Shwayze, I'm not saying he's any way revolutionary or new in the genre of I smoke pot and make casual music but seriously, fuck off. I've never judged your music choice nor do I really care. I'm seldom concerned if some asshole in Minnesota or wherever has the ego to dictate his musical preference on everyone he meets, but you're just a fucking dick head. Is it too much to ask for you to pull your head out of your ass?

Avec · « **Reply #28 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 18:28 »

Regardless, I don't judge on your mediocre collection of music.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #29 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 18:34 »

ITT: People take things personally.

Be My Head · « **Reply #30 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 18:42 »

All of your tastes in music are shit compared to mine

s h i t

Take *that* personally!

(BTW, I would love to go to the one with Deerhoof, Aphex Twin, and Venetian Snares, curse living in the middle of fucking nowhere)

squawk · « **Reply #31 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 18:43 »

you totally just judged his music taste by calling it mediocre though!

norma jean were alright when they were ripping off coalesce i guess

Be My Head · « **Reply #35 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 19:25 »

I fail to see your point with that.

Be My Head · « **Reply #36 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 19:38 »

People dislike Deerhoof?

Fuckers!!!

Argh, so jealous. I haven't been able to see any good bands recently because they all seem to think London is the only place in the UK worth visiting. THERE IS MORE TO THE UK THAN LONDON, YOU COCKS.

Also, i am part of said Deerhoof group because they suck balls.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #38 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 19:51 »

I am waiting for an invite. Of course, I know you guys probably need my name or something. Hrm.

Be My Head · « **Reply #39 on:** 07 Apr 2009, 19:57 »

Well, sure, I can see how you might not like Deerhoof when you have such badass music as this to compare it with.

Metope · « **Reply #40 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 03:50 »

Quote from: Jeans on 07 Apr 2009, 19:29

Hell, there's a facebook group spawned from this forum dedicated solely to hating on Deerhoof because there are also people who like it here.

What? Really? Why has nobody told me about this, I feel betrayed. Shane is this your thing? I am one of the founders of the Anti-Deerhoof Society on these forums, I demand an explanation.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #41 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 04:10 »

Yeah Shane what the fuck where is my invite you bitch.

Also Sam actually has pretty damn good taste in music so there is your argument out the window.

el_loco_avs · « **Reply #42 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 05:05 »

Im probably going to the Lowlands festival again.

Names so far:

* Arctic Monkeys
* Basement Jaxx
* Bon Iver
* La Caravane Passe
* Crookers
* Boys Noize
* Enter Shikari
* Sonata Arctica
* Kyteman's Hiphop Orkest*
* Opeth
* Bloc Party
* Rusko
* The Prodigy

valley_parade · « **Reply #43 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 05:12 »

Dovey, there is no invite. If you do not like them, you are in!

I didn't know there was a facebook group!

Metope · « **Reply #44 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 05:15 »

That makes sense, I'm not friends with Chris on facebook.

(Chris, add me on facebook)

valley_parade · « **Reply #45 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 05:16 »

I'm not a member of it either. I have no clue what this is.

Metope · « **Reply #46 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 05:19 »

Maybe Jens is just making up stuff to confuse us. That would make sense too.

valley_parade · « **Reply #47 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 05:20 »

Maybe since he bought an Orange, he found the correct path of musical taste.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #48 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 05:39 »

Yeah I just went through all of Chris' Facebook groups and there is no trace of an Anti-Deerhoof group there either.

Who is up for making one? (i.e; I Am Not)

Spluff · « **Reply #49 on:** 08 Apr 2009, 05:44 »

I think it's the thought that counts
