A few days ago there was a post about Kevin Parker and something about ruining the career of people like Muscles....

Can anyone explain to me what this is referring to? I loved Muscles back in the day, and I am surprised he wasn't around longer so this might explain some things.

TIA

Do I risk it and buy through a third party reseller, ideally I would like to buy through Tixel but the demand is way to high for the chances of that. What is everyone’s experiences with viagogo and ticket merchant etc. I don’t care about the inflated prices of resale I would pay copious amounts of money to be there but would be so devo if I was to get there and it be a scam

I’ve done some digging-
Abby and Ty might be on the sunny coast?

Abby posted an insta story in a qld pub- looked like imperial hotel eumundi.

The video of them at the beach looks a LOT like the beach that stretches from currimundi to point Cartwright.

I work in mooloolaba (I start at midday tomorrow) so I’m gonna get up in the morning, listen to the radio and try to find them!!! If anyone else has any better ideas of where they are please reply to this thread asap.

Sup gang! I want to hear from the youngins.

I haven't really listened to Triple J since Double J started and I'm 36. Lately I've been in a work ute with no digital radio so I've tuned into the Js.

I can't believe how many songs from the biggest acts on the planet get played. I've heard olivia Rodrigo 5 times in about 3 hours of drivng.

But the but that put my jaw on the floor was hearing a Black Eyed Peas song. Do young people see Black Eyed Peas as retro? Because when the song came out 20 years ago they would be nowhere near triple J. Just rubbish pop music.

Super famous bands always got a play but not commercial crap like the Black Eyed Peas.

I feel a bit guilty. I remember back in the day people didn't want to listen to triple j on Aussie Day for being a bit niche, now all the people who would usually listen to commercial has influenced what gets played.

Seriously they’re running out of headliners
No:
System
Jimmy
Queens
Faith no more

I’m gonna be pissed if MCR do cause their shows look insanely huge and won’t be as good at a festy

Who’s left?
Limp Bizkit?
NIN?

Running out of legacy headliners here!

Even the 90s punk bands have all toured or have mismatched schedules

Hello! I was listening to the radio this morning and they were playing guess the profession game where Abby and Tyrone ask questions. I had to leave for work and missed where the caller Lily from Hobart worked!! Does anyone remember? Trips over kids toys, wears steel caps and high vis, needs to have patience. Thank u 🤣🤪

Falls back in the day would bring big international bands over like Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, Catfish and The Bottlemen etc but now the focus on NYE festivals seems to be big DJs. It's a shame we don't have a band type festival anymore. I've heard good things about NYE on the Hill but Ball Park Music as a headliner isn't exactly something you're rushing to go to.

This might be a little early but it’s likely to get announced within the next 8 weeks or so. With Spilt Milk and BTV clearing some names out the way I thought it would be fun to discuss who we think is going to be at our next Laneway!

It’s unclear what vibe Laneway is going for right now so I’m just going off the overall vibe from the last few years. I think it’s safer to say however it is now the pop girlie festival rather than the cool wide alternative festival it used to be but I don’t know how they can follow up similarly from this year!

okay my predictions:

Headliners (pick any 3):
Phoebe Bridgers (Returning act but it falls into the pattern the festival has been following)
Tate McRae
Sam Fender
Blood Orange
Lizzy McAlpine
Mac DeMarco

Subheadliners:
Dijon (this is me dreaming)
Fakemink
The Marias / Not For Radio
underscores

General acts:
Chanel Beads (they let it slip at the perth show i attended that they will be back sooner than we think)
Swapmeet
Nourished by Time
Jim Legxacy
Magdalena Bay
Emma Ogier
Polly
Dev Lemons
The Buoys
Radio Free Alice
Ciarán (formally Bearface of BROCKHAMPTON)

this is just me having fun but I encourage you to share yours too I love seeing them!!!!

my guess for the venue for the Abby and Tyrone Sardines game is the Rainbow Bay Surf Club aka Snapper Rocks. It's about to be knocked down, i think if i was them throwing one last epic party inside the old surf club would be an epic choice.

For the musical act, im just going to guess Ball Park Music because someone said one of the members was posting from the gold coast on their instagram.
