It's worthing waiting for.. Music Monday on a Thursday...

The full Splendour in the Grass line-up has been announced...


I like it... I like it a lot - some bands I have seen before and can't wait to see again.. Other bands I have seen a few times too many but they are always a good show if nothing else is on. Other bands I can't wait to see for the first time.. And yet others I have NO idea who they are but am looking forward to finding out...

Soo here is my original post before any bands were announced..

Yves Klien Blue - new EP and signed to Dew Process.

Port O'Brien - new to Dew Process - new release out in May (will be in Europe around May/June so why not head on over to Aus for July/August??).

Other Dew Process probabilities =

Tokyo Police Club - nothing new out as yet but who knows...

A few others but not ones I really see coming to Splendour (and others - namely The Grates, Sarah Blasko, Powerderfinger etc - GIVE IT A REST DEW PROCESS they have had their time at Splendour time for new bands OK!!!

also....

The Panics (I think they will be "the back up someone dropped out band" - they played last year but they are touring a new album Cruel Guards)..

Be Your Own PET - I <3 this band - they so should have been here after their first album but I am guessing with a second just released they might just make it (although without old drummer Jamin Orral they might not have "the sound" like they used too)

The Fumes - they played support for QotSA, besides they are "perfect" for this festival - NO idea why they have never played it before now, but with second album on the way I say LOOK OUT....

Rumours floating around the internet (the ones in BOLD I believe have a chance) =

The Hives
Radiohead
Vampire Weekend
Hot Chip
Regina Spektor
These New Puritans
Nick Cave
Pendulum
Presets
Gyroscope
Pnau
Bluejuice
Bridezilla

Ones I think that AREN'T going to be coming from these line ups =

My Bloody Valentine (doing by of the festivals I doubt they would add Splendour as a third festival in what TWO weeks).

Babyshambles - well with singer in Gaol I doubt they will even be doing Benicassim let alone anywhere else.



I didn't do too badly really did I...

Next week I will discuss who I can't wait to see and who I will NOT go and see..

Tell me if YOU were coming who would you see and who would you steer clear of??
