lolz

Hellz yeah that's a solid lineup, deffo going.

Will go for Gareth Emery

HORSE MEAT DISCO

Cool name.

heh, now we wait for the ticket prices. At least it will be worth it compared to the fucking travesty that is going to be next years BDO

PAUL van DYK
JESSIE J
GARETH EMERY

Would go just for these 3 but mainly Gareth. But can't see $150 being reasonable for one DJ.

hell yeh just gotta workout where i want to see them here in brissy or sydney really over the rain here in brisbane

seems going price for festy tickets is $140 these days

argh.

awesome lineup, shall be in attendence.

I missed Naked & Famous at parklife on account of the girlie having a mid festival moment so will be checking them out.

they were pretty awesome, but i wouldn't stress over missing them cause they'll be playing at least one major festival per year considering they're kiwis.

when are tickets goin onsale?

seems going price for festy tickets is $140 these days

i was wondering this aswell, why the fuck are tickets 140+ these days but when i was hitting festivals up 6yrs ago it was like $80. Had a bit of a read about this and read some quotes from bands and they pretty much said something along the lines of 'we understand that noone makes money from cd sales these days, cds is to get ur name out there and ppl to like u, festivals and touring is where the money comes from these days'

its a trade off between buying cds : cheaper festivals/tours

People buy CDs?

(this isn't a thinly veiled piracy thing, but surely anyone who buys music just buys it online?)

will definately say there is a much high quality of act touring.

last couple of years have pretty much bought me out of retirement because theres soooo many acts that i never thought id be able to see, playing right here in little old brisbane.

i dont mind paying large $$$$$ if i get to see acts that i really want to see

yer, i still remember buying bdo tickets and getting change from a hungee.

Damn I did think 10 hours but 12 made it cheaper :)

Ok, $14 an hour.

i think cd's is a collective for buying music at all, as oppose to torrenting it

actually mr smarty pants pave, nearly all of the music i download is just mixes, which i couldnt pay for if i tried.

watch most of my tunes on the yuotubes these days.

or is that stealing too!?

lols get off your high horse cunt, i bet atleast 90% of the ppl who read this forum dont buy the majority of their music

you'll all be the first complaining if your fav artists just started packing up shop and went and become concreters bcause there just isn't any money in making music anymore

Name one Dj/ band that has stated they got into the industry to become rich? Pretty sure they do it because they love how it makes them and others feel.

So many musicians get paid next to nothing and still do it because they love it not because there is a chance of a massive pay check if they make it in the industry

i said if they couldn't afford to keep making music, i mean as a full time job

don't get all butthurt

i had more to say but can't be bothered arguing anymore

Pretty sicko for an aus festival

Purchased my tix for SHM @ milton keynes yewww :p

..and its not about making buttloads of money - its about making enough to live off...
Sure, do it for the love but you gotta eat as well.

But lets face it - paying for recorded media is coming to an end.
I'm sure you all realize that eventually you will be paying ginormous prices to see acts if touring is their only income?
and it means *real* music ( as in proper underground non commercial music that doesn't have a massive stage show) will diminish as well...its already happening.

I personally don't think the idea of only making music off touring will work. There are a tonne of artists that make incredible music that will never tour. Touring is really a young mans game... so does that mean that making money off music will only be for young ppl?
The only older acts in that line up above have already established themselves in the time before the music industry changed.
I believe it will survive with the idea of what MP3.COM was when it first started.
you get paid for how many listens or downloads you get and advertising will pay for it.
I made $5k in one year on mp3.com in the mid nineties earning less than a cent a download/play before it changed - obviously I was working at the time and producing music was a hobby. Some ppl who made more commercial music ( similar to the acts on the line up above) made more money.

Youtube is already starting to do this. Paying ppl for views.
Its the only way I can see quality music surviving.

haha

i'm done with standing in line to go to fucking disgusting dunnies while people piss down their legs in front of you.

me too russ

i go to the piss troughs they setup, possibly the best invention ever for a festival.

haven't waited in line to go to the toilet at a festival for ages

there is usually only 1 or 2 of them setup but once located, they are fucking gold and worth walking to if in limited numbers

i dont think u could b failing as hard as this guy

hahahahaaha

it should have been moar clearer!!!!!

People always go WTF! when I say I still buy CDs. It's not I can get musicians to signed an mp3 or a burnt CD.

Owning special editions of some albums is nice as well, knowing that they will never get released again and you are but of a select few who have it.

UPDATE

set times have finally been released which can be found here:

http://www.futureentertainment.com.au/news/futurenews/1393-future-music-festival-apocalyptic-set-times-download-them-now

i think they have done a great job, i was stressing knife party/swedish house mafia/skrillex would all clash

going to be a cunt act to move from the knife party stage to the main stage

as i am going sydney as well i think i am going to skip knife party in sydney and just hang at the main stage and see fatboy slim and get a really good position for the swedes

only clash i'm really not liking is porter robinson - was madkeen to see him :\

Yeah, the timetable is pretty good, but as with most, I have a couple issues;
Chase & Status at 2:50 :(
Saw Fatboy Slim at good vibes in 09' and it was a pretty pathetic set, disappointing for him to be so high in the day.
And if it wasn't for Chase & Status I never would've heard of Tine Tempah. But even after listening to some of his music I can't see why he's so high on the main stage for either. Especially above the likes of C + S/Skrillex.
/rant
But at least with having fatboy at that time it allows me to go watch knife party. So win some lose some.

Saw Fatboy Slim at good vibes in 09' and it was a pretty pathetic set, disappointing for him to be so high in the day.

pretty sure fatboy slim is a electronic music legend, i haven't seen him live but everything i have seen of him has been pretty epic

i always figured he would be finishing a stage at the same time as SHM for sure so i had written off my chances of seeing him

i'm going to assume he is epic, he's been around that long i don't think the guy would be capable of providing a bad set

fuck it is going to be epic

it is going to be an absolute cunt act to move from knife party to swedish house mafia i reckon, kind of glad fatboy is on at the same time knife party won't be so stacked but it's going to be hard to get a decent spot for shm

lucky i'm going twice :D

lul new order

poor old spookles was torn between new order and shm, we knew ages ago they would probably clash

he's made the decision to see shm

he probably won't see nay of them though, he will get munted and disappear as per usual

bought tickets for this when they came out, find out last week mates, that have been overseas for 15months, are coming back on the 3rd and having a massive party down the coast.. sold both tickets =(

No fat boy, skrillex and smh for me :'(

Looking forward to bopping my head to the enjoyable music. Sick lineup. Will spend all day at evolution until SHM.

teh troll attempt was bad straw hat

Will be making my way over to swedish house mafia, though nfi how will get anywhere near the stage, imagine itll be packed and ill be getting over late since will be at PVD.

yeah same straw but i probably need to go over earlier going to be sooo soo hard so many good acts!!!

on a side note

SO FUCKING EXCITED

SO PUMPED! Cant wait..

i downloaded like every song by every band haha

check it out on www.shortfuse-enterprise.com
