i can't bring myself to go to this again.

line up looks decent though. will probably catch all i want here in adelaide though.

cypress hill would be RAD to see! i get to melb that day so me and the missus are considering it.. but its pricey as. $130 a ticket... and i only know a few of those acts rumoured...

and it's organised pretty poorly on the day. the line up to get in last year was about a km long for a lot of the punters.

we have been to the last two in melbourne....

I am thinking of headin to QLD this time… Sydney’s set up was mad!! Everything went smoothly.. I hope the same goes for Gold Coast. Will definitely be a lot hotter though!

e 40, cypress  wicked

lol a mate of mine was in a wheelchair, front of the line thanks. anyone know how much a second hand wheelchair costs>?

$130 for pre-sales???

Seriously these guys are on crack.

Unless they have Led Zeppelin on the bill, no way is this worth more than the Big Day Out... NO WAY!

I have NEVER been let down by the BDO. Sure, some may have had average line ups, but it's always been a high quality show. I'm simply not convinced Jam can offer me that same sense of security with their production.

completely agree julian. especially going off their last two years.

still reckon last year had twice the crowd, but half of the planning of the year before.

u heard the stories about parklife in melbourne??? the events havent been living up to the previous year's expectations, thats for sure!

can't say i have anna. care to elaborate?

 IMO that lineup is so much better than 2008 BDO. There is no comparison.

 

 

oh, the fuzzy promoters got a caning!! not enough toilets, so people were pissing on speaker stacks AND on the ground in front of the stage...Apparently there was also more solid waste products floating round...overcrowded, poor management of crowds...

yeah, but there is still another round of names to be added for the big day out.

besides, it's not just the acts, it's the day itself. can't say that any of the good vibes parties i have been too even come close to the worst big day out i've been too.


anna, that's terrible. you think that by now they'd have an idea of just what they required to put on a festival in melbourne...

how much of the big day out vibe includes bumping into randoms?? or staying away from them.

its about being in a place where you are bound to know about 200 people that you never see and get to witness awesome bands too.

you wont get that in a city you dont live in. theres always a lack of pissers at the big day out too, the 'aquaduct' near the stables at the rear of the arena always ends up being a big piss trough

yeah, i remember some fisticuffs between some women near the green stage, it was so packed and ladies were going crazy to reach the toilets!!

last year there wasn't an issue with the toilets at the big day out at all.

very off topic here.

 Where they will add another 10 acts I don't GAF about.

 For my taste, good vibes is wicked this year.

God it was ridiculous, turned me off going this year. The line up is impressive and I would love to go and experience it somewhere that wasn't melbourne however I think that I will be saving my $ for Womad this time around.

fair enough

 I didntt realise that these names were only rumours either.

 Oh well, in any case I won't be going

I couldn't give a shit if they said Jesus himself was jamming alongside James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, and Bob Marley, with a mega hiphop act of Tupac, Biggy and Jam Master Jay right beforehand, I still think asking for $130 presale for a festival that feels like it was organised the day before by a bunch of blind and deaf monkeys coming down after a big weekend is fucking ridiculous.

Can we move this to the "Whats on "thread" ?

I agree with Simon - this line  up appeals to me more than BDO next year however I have decided to do womad instead.

Thats a dope line-up and definitely worth the ticket price.

Even though there were lots of complaints about the organisation side of things I'd still pay $130 for those acts. Unfortunately being in Adelaide, attending Good Vibes costs a hell of a lot more than just the ticket price and I dont think the overall package is worth the $600+ going to the event would end up costing.

I'm still considering it. Mainly just to see Cypress...  Rhazel last year ripped it...  Enough Said.

Was even considering driving again. Maybe just not home via the Great Ocean Rd this time!! 
 

I don't know - acts like that deserve a good set up...

The previous year's shown that Jam aren't capable of it. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong and be eating my words...

ive heard jesus jam on the guitar, not bad!

 Exactly.

now that the line up is official and the tickets are back on sale, I notice they're the same price as pre-sales, so that's ok.

I thought pre-sales at that price would mean normal tickets would be about $150

Me & Ceasar already have our tickets! So pumped. 

Don't care if the organisation was a bit off earlier this year in Melbs, we still had a fucking ball. Big ups J5, Snoop Dizzle, LE & Beasties for that!

Can't wait to see Cypress & Pharoahe Monch oh & everyone else next year.

Now... Fly again or road trip?! Hmmm.

 

Yeah I'm the same, organisation was a bit naff this year but once again the line up is too good to not go.

GV Tickets x2 - $260

Accomodation - $160

Airfares x2 - $220

Sleep deprivation/mood enhancement devices - $250

Look on the air hostesses face when we board the plane at 6am after an all nighter - Priceless!

Bring it on already 

Well seeing as it's only $130 for me (even less I can scam a ticket ) I'll probably go anyway, despite my bitching.

I just hope they get their shit together and make it worthwhile this year.

Pharoahe Monch?!?! MR JOHN DOE BRING THIS MOTHERFUCKER TO ADELAIDE PLEASE!

well.... stop ya bitching then 

honestly....can u even begin to imagine if we had to drive home from Melb's last year????

it was bad enuf being on a plane for a short while....cant imagine how horrible it woulda been sitting in a car for 8hours+

in saying that, im glad i went....coz i went stampy and sal! YAY!

Have fun without me this year...

  Yeah we thought over the road trip thingy & have already booked our flights! Why is no one else coming this year?! Last 2 years we've had at least 10 peeps involved

because the set up and effort they put into the show aren't worth all the hassle's of getting there quite simply.

just seen that Cypress Hill and Pharoahe Monch are doing an Adelaide sideshow at HQ... this just confirms my decision..

a few other acts i woulda like to of caught, but melbourne can Lick it!!

i told my sister id go visit her in Melb before heading OS, plus have to go there to get my visa, so ive been thinking of going for this weekend. good lineup

but then its $130 for the ticket, plus expenses for the day. doesnt really go well with the whole saving thing.

 

I'll pay for you

BTW this is a picture of you
 

if you're paying....

and this is you... (you're the horse)

We are planning on going to the Brisbane one… at the River stage , Botanical Gardens.. Hopefully it will  be an awesome day!

 

i went there the first time i went (in 2005) and the setup was great, but pity it rained.

no Kanye in QLD is a killer though

Ooooo! That sounds beautiful! If it falls through Megz, yawl should come to Melbs with us

will keep ya in the loop  and yeah i hope the rain stops up there!

yay got our tickets finally - PDF print out hehe! really looking forward to it, such a fun festival 

who's goin from here- im thinkin i might be a starter now

Flying in on Wednesday - will be a large week

we be hittin brisbane for it this sunday

the perth show is gonna be massive. cant wait.

Me!! 

boo to kanye & high contrast at the same time

Ive seen Kanye...Id go High contrast...

i missed kanye last time so reckon i will check him then see hc at channel the week after

Good plan..

See ya at Channel! Woot!

Oh may even see you in Melbs!

a man with a solid plan there.

the main difficulty will be remaining coherrant til the end for kanye lol

Hahaha. How did that work out for you?

Had a wicked time, volume for Cypress was a little quiet. But all in all GV delivered again!

Big ups to Mark & Blake for the drinks 

Well what an awesome event in Brisbane.. my fav venue so far! The River stage is awesome!! Better then Sydney! Loved K-OS, Katalyst & Pharaohe Monch  but oh my Cypress Hill was sooooo awesome! My sister and I were dancing and singing like crazy!! Such a fun day and night.. hopefully its at the River stage again next time!
