Anne WidjajaI'll see you at SPLENDOUR...
May 6th 2010 14:21
From the day that the biggest, most ambitious, most soul suckingly pricey splendour line-up was released, it seems that the punters of Australia have simply been falling all over themselves at any mention of the old Byron Festival that could: Splendour in the Grass. Upon viewing the line up on the website, may I note how the modest typeface only extenuated the quiet, yet cunning ambition of the Splendour creators - The Strokes, the Pixies, Florence, Mumford & Sons - so many bands that could've individually sold out a Big Day Out gathering in some town in the back end of Queensland. Whilst this debilitating awe quickly faded upon discovery of the price of a ticket, it seems like twenty somethings everywhere have reached deep into their low interest bank accounts to fork out the dosh. Hopefully this grand gesture of a festival will mean that festivals of the future will be graced by more than a few big names, and more stable online ticketing servers.
Up yours, the small geographically convenient festival mecca that is Europe/the U.S.A. I no longer weep as much as I used to upon seeing your million festival ads in the pages of Q and NME. We may be really far away from producing the music culture that you guys seem to effortlessly poop out, with your cool lists and your indie folk/dance/punk and your "Jack White", but we're getting somewhere. I'll crank out the gum boots I've been saving Glastonbury and wear them just as famously at wood-freaking-fordia.
The festival is now completely sold out.
may your town complain less about Splendour than the Byron residents did
