Parachute Expect Record Crowds

28,000 people! Thats extremely good exposure for smaller NZ bands...!

thats quite amazing.. i never realised it was so big ....

good luck to 'em

heh heh heh. im a closet relient k fan....well i guess not anymore. i have all their albums.
even if it is christian "punk" they have some catchy tunes.

Does anyone know if Cell are gonna be there? Are there gonna be many metal bands there cuz there werent last year.

there was like this band in the songs for worship album ad on the old TV4
they looked cool
with the whole teenage fans and lighters and shit
and they had the cool sunnies
and pre faded jeans
delirious
or something like that
are they coming back???
have they ever been???
if you have the choice
will it be parachute or BDO???

haha yeah i saw that. They were doin it for the kids.

Jon Jr,
iv been to chute 3 times delirious pull the biggest crowds its insane!
its a mosh pit junkies dream (like yourself)
but then again so is BDO.
this year i choose BDO.

whos going?

To Big Dum Face- Cell are gonna be there.

And as far as other NZ bands go, there's Wash, All Left Out, Cold by Winter, 4ManBob, Mums Dollar, Holdfast... Of course i only remember the punk/ska/hardcore acts...

awesome, mums dollar were good last year, same with wash and holdfast. In my opinion its gonna be better than the BDO this year but thats just me, other will disagree.

mumsdollar are good. WASH and cold by winter rule, i'm thinking about going. how much is it? i heard the food and cleaning facilities are dodgy but its good if youre not worried about cleaning like meself. oh well. how much is it

i think its about $130 and theyve moved it to mystery creek in hamilton so the cleaning facilities are much better than before but are probably a bit dodge.

Yeah sounds really cool, although im not christian or know many of the international bands. I want to go.

i just came back from parachute this arvo and it was absolutly awesome! newsboys blew everyone away...detour180 were just plain wicked and wash had the most crazy moshpit going on. all in all, parachute gets 10 outta 10 in my books and the venue was a lot more practical than last year with proper toilet/shower facilities and the area was flat so no more hiking up and down hills! i recommend eveyone to go next year! it went off!!!

even me???
