erilynoh fuck, MCR are playing Soundwave in February.
It's been many many years since I've been to a big outdoor music festival like that, not my thing, but for MCR (plus Faith No More, Jane's Addiction and Taking Back Sunday) I am so tempted. Hmmm, I said to someone recently that MCR would be the only band that would get me to consider going to Big Day Out.
I am hoping so hard for sideshows too. There's totally room for it in the schedule:
Sat 20th - Brisbane
Sun 21st - Sydney
Fri 26th - Melbourne
Sat 27th - Adelaide
Mon 1st Mar - Perth
NIN did sideshows when they headlined last year, so it doesn't look like headliners are unable to do them.
The Sydney show is at Eastern Creek Raceway, where I saw the Alternative Nation music festival a long time ago. Great lineup, including Faith No More funnily enough. But it rained and the place became a mudbath and the toilet situation was dire.
The lineup also includes: Fi | Paramore | Him | Alexisonfire | Trivium | Sunny Day Real Estate | Eagles Of Death Metal | The Get Up Kids | Anti Flag | Reel Big Fish | Meshuggah | All Time Low | A Day To Remember | It Dies Today | Escape The Fate | Clutch | Isis | Gallows | A Wilhelm Scream | The Weakerthans | Emarosa | Anvil | The Devil Wears Prada | Comeback Kid | Dance Gavin Dance | Four Year Strong | You Me At Six | Whitechapel | The Aquabats | Rolo Tomassi | Baroness | Rx Bandits | The Almost | Maximum The Hormone | The Creepshow

Date: 2009-08-19 10:11 am (UTC)did you end up covered in mud? I managed to stay fairly clean, because we weren't in the crowds close to the stages, but as we were leaving, my friend R slipped over and ended up with mud all down her side, after avoiding it all day.
My current plan is probably to try to buy a Soundwave ticket, but if they do sideshows and I can get tickets to one or two of them, I don't know if I'll go to Soundwave.
