better than expected.
That's the most pitchfork lineup I've ever seen. Still, a lot of quality there. Les Savy Fav, Holy Fuck, PVT, Beach House. Might. Be the first laneway I attend.
BLONDE REDHEAD SIDESHOWS PLEASE
still more to come isn't there?
there were only about 3-6 more acts announced in round two last year, depending on the city.
thought i read something about 28 bands to be announced, 20 of them being international?
i may have been dreaming this
wasn't dreaming, from their twitter
hmmmmm.... only 25 bands announced today -- and that's official.
yeah i'm now thinking they must have cocked it up
more Grinderman reviews plz
Really unimaginative lineup, but really fun.
possibility of a Holy Fuck side show?
only thing I wanna see on that bill
Go to this or just the deerhunter, beach house, ariel pink sideshows? Hmmmm.
Spelling is incorrect on wayfarer, by the way.
Just picked up that Mistletone are bringing a few a these out and they always do side shows so....
no it's not ;)
Damn, I thought you were referring to a brand of ray ban sunglasses. Cause like, you need the sunglasses to look at the hot line-up?
You fixed it!
Friends of mine are tossing up between the 5th and the 12th for their wedding. MAKE IT THE 12TH!

Beach House/Menomena/Warpaint clash is the only one that's likely to trouble me much. But it's a bit of a doozy.
bought tickets for Beach House and Menomena aaaages just in case of clashes, but they are playing at the same time! so that plan was stupid
decided on getting a couple of Holy Fuck tickets to the HiFi, good supports
you sound like you have a lot of money to splash around.
I dont think i will leave the river stage except for beach house.
Wonder how much the promoters paid to make sure that happened?
...which is fine of course, prob what i would be doing if i was loaded.
Yeah, well. I'd love to see Beach House again, particularly after Teen Dream, but given the departure of a Menomena founding member and the fact that I've seen Beach House before, I'll probably just go see Warpaint.
By far the worst clash but with a little bit of leeway with time. I'm gonna attempt to see half of Beach House then half of one of the others
ariel pink, les savy fav is a shocker clash for me.
Clashes galore. Is balls!
only clash that really bugs me a tiny bit is cut copy & !!!. guess i'll go beach house>blonde redhead>ariel pink>deerhunter>cut copy. cruisy. heavyweight buzzbands! fairly ambivalent about deerhunter so maybe AiH djs could be a better alternative. would like to catch WEP early in the day too! pretty excited about a festival for a change.
Some clashes, but I made my final choices based more the stages I like. Hate the main stage, so the 2nd half of the day I'll be settling at the river stage for Warpaint>Local Natives>Ariel Pink>Deerhunter (but then go !!!). The clash between Ariel Pink vs Yeasayer irked me, so I got Yeasayer sideshow tix.
Blonde redhead - Le Savvy - holy fuck - !!! - I don't think I'll be moving from that stage
There are HEAPS of Melbourne clashes for me. Deerhunter, Foals and Holy Fuck ALL on at the same time. BOOOO.
Yeasayer and Ariel Pink too. meh.
Yeah, the River Stage was great last year and the Main Stage got shitty after about 3pm; ridiculously epic and kind of annoying.
You chumps should hit up Adelaide. Closest thing to a clash all day is the 5 minute gap between Deerhunter & Les Savy Fav.
I agree, the Adelaide schedule is looking good. I just hope they set it up so there's a clear path to get between Fowlers and the new stage rather than the usual bottleneck through the middle of the courtyard stage crowd.
the Deerhunter / Foals clash is worst for me. All the rest are significantly annoying.
Will never miss LSF, despite having tix to their sideshow, and seeing them 3 times before.
Yep most keen for LSF. Will barge through the crowd if I have to - no prisoners!
These clashes are bullshit.
