BDO programme in Heralds Time Out

will be on the net somewhere too.

Trivium 1 oclock, too early
Kasabian 4.30, earlyish
Tool Killers Streets get expected prime time spots.
Femmes and Shapeshifter Finish the night

Die! Die! Die! same time as Suicide Dogs - stupid move!

even worse, Mint chicks - Kora

Here's my planned day

NSP club - Sinate - Shaky Hands - Die!/Suicdie Dogs - Trivium - Tutts -Smashproof - 4 corners - Vines - Luciano - Kasabian - Jet - SJD - Lupe Fiasco - Kora - Streets - Tool/John Butler Trio - Dimmer - Shapeshifter

Maybe's - minuit - voom - spank rock - evermore - scribe - jakob - pnc - open souls - deceptikonz - muse

Really dissapointed in this line up, weak weak weak. I wouldn't see any of the international acts if it was a one off concert. But I suppose a good thing about this year, is that there isn't an overload of good bands that would mean you would miss another good band playing at the same time.

Forums: The Bar,

Here's my planned day:
Laugh at saps such as yourself who have wasted their money on the shittest music fest in the history of NZ music fests. Well maybe the second shitest following Sweetwaters99

pere ubu played sweetwaters 99

Did they get paid?

man, I freaked out when I read pere ubu were playing, realised I was 16 and poor, and consequently sulked for months about it.

Did they end up playing though? I remember a blackboard which had cancellations added as they came to hand - just about everyone I wanted to see pulled out and I was sure ubu were one of them. The Melvins played though, and they were great. From memory, UB40 were bad, but not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Anyway, i digress....
I agree, this was the weakest BDO line-up in years, if not ever - yet it sold out.... go figure.

they played- i watched them expecting nothing- but they were something- jarry & laughner did the tour with them

Freaky deaky, I was at sweetwaters 99 and I never saw Pere Ubu, I swore they had been cancelled. Bummer. I was meant to be writing an acocount of it for Rip it Up whon I wroked for then, but somehow it got canned.
I remember the Stranglers being really bad. Nathan haines was very good though and the Mad Professor. Donovan was there too!
