The next few months are looking pretty bloody rosy for me:
- Fat Freddy's Drop (7th Nov)
- Buzzcocks (14th Nov)
- Lightning Bolt (24th Nov)
- Mono (3rd Dec)
- Camera Obscura (18th Jan)
- ISIS (16th Feb)
- Faith No More (18th Feb)
- Meshuggah (4th Mar)
- Pixies (12th Mar)
Might not be able to make it to the Buzzcocks since it's in the middle of exams.
I'm roadtripping it to Wellington for the Homegrown Music Festival (already got tickets). I have a sneaking suspicion that Fat Freddy's Drop will be coming (pending next announcement). Headliners are The Feelers, The Datsuns, Salmonella Dub, Cut Off Your Hands, Liam Finn, The Black Seeds, Goodnight Nurse and Pluto. Minor acts are The Mint Chicks, Minuit, Katchafire, Opensouls, Bang! Bang! Eche!, The Checks, Motocade, Antiform, Midnight Youth, Ladi6, Sunshine Soundsystem, Tim Phin, Dane Rumble, Dick Johnson, Luger Boa, Nick D and Aural Trash.
I've been to the annual Big Day Out twice before and I'm waiting for the second announcement before I buy a ticket to this one. So far the headliners are Muse, Kasabian, Lily Allen, The Decemberists, Groove Armada, Rise Against, The Mars Volta and Peaches. Minor acts are Calvin Harris, Dizzee Rascal, Mastodon, Ladyhawke, Girl Talk, The Horrors, Powderfinger, Eskimo Joe, The Temper Trap, Karnivool, Kora, Minuit, Dimmer, The Checks, Gin Wigmore, James Duncan and PNC.
Jakob is planning a NZ tour in Nov/Dec too - I'll definitely jump on that.
