Soundwave Vs Big Day Out

Now that both lineups have been revealed, its time to decide which festival is worth forking out $150 for.

I'd be more inclined to say Soundwave, due to the larger number of Metal Bands. Also, Faith No More are mega rad.

So, if you were to chose one, which one would you pick?

I'd go to Soundwave. My parents and all their friends all go to Big Day Out, I wouldn't want to run into one of them on accident

I'm sorry kiddies, but David Bowie on his own is far better than Soundwave.

The only real experience I've had with festivals has been the smaller ones around Newcastle like Groovin the Moo, Fat as Butter and most recently, Coaster.

It'd be nice to see what a bigger festival's like. I can pretty much extrapolate from previous experiences though..

I haven't been to any actual Music festivals, but I guess it'd be nice to. I am going to a Rave pretty soon. I don't have very high expectations of it though, because it's being hosted by a bunch of Wog guys that all go to my school.

Lol that's hardly a rave. It'll probably just be some dudes in tracksuits with some strobes and a couple of Darude vinyls, if you're lucky.

Real Raves are nothing to be excited by, just a lot of overmuscled druggies dancing with their slutty friends. Those two stereotypes can apply to either gender, that's the sort you get at raves.

Those dam androgenous ones. They should go back to Japan or wherever the idea of wearing womens jeans came from. Probably Japan.

It's only 10 dollars to get in, and if I'm lucky I might find some slutty wog girl. I'll probably get bashed by her boyfriends cousins later though

David Bowie, HIM?

David Bowie, AFI?

David Bowie, Trivium?

David Bowie, Faith no more?

Gah! D= I'm gonna decide on both lol (note I was kinda joking with HIM).

Maximum the Hormone are an amazing band. I think they'd be great to see live.

NIIIIICE

Just curious, are any of these even worth forking out $150 for? I've never been to either, and curious if I should.

Of course they are, why do you think they get so many people to them?

Judging by the festivals I've been too, the atmosphere really makes it. The music comes second.

Eh I guess I better check them out myself. I got a feeling I'll be going to Soundwave instead though.

So, I went to that rave I told you about. Did bad things, the rave was boring as hell.

Big Day Out.

I say this as I've already bought my ticket, and I really selfishly hope the next two soundwave announcements are mediocre or worse so that I don't regret buying my bdo ticket.

I did really want to go see RBF, FNM and the aquabats.

Placebo, Anthrax, Motion City Soundtrack, Shinedown, Enter Shikari, Set Your Goals and Closure in Moscow have been announced for Soundwave. YES PLEASE.
