Heard that tonight on JJJ .... so im guessing the new "oasis", foo fighters and ??? ... not bad really, lose 1 gain 3

I think the foo fighters are out...
MUSIC FEEDS UPDATE: According to AJ Maddah, the chance of seeing Foo Fighters on the Big Day Out 2014 bill are “zero.” Maddah said that organisers “wouldn’t insult them by even suggesting they play 3rd on the bill,” and it’s tough to argue with that.

Emm

well ... i wont argue then ... and ill be a tad relieved ... cos I wasn't real thrilled with them being a replacement

TroubledSoul

foo fighters? more chance of the beatles playing.

So they're not actually replacing blur with another headliner? In my mind that means there is hope for PJ to play a longer than typical festival set.

Dear all,

Haven't been to BDO before, am coming down under from Indonesia. Want to ask some questions:
1. Will the itinerary/program/schedule will be announced on BDO.COM? If so, usually what time before the actual date?
2. Are the pre-party really happening? Am attending Sydney, interested in Melbourne as well.
3. Given the fact that this is a festival, what general tips regarding getting Pearl Jam merchandise? Or even any chance to meet Pearl Jam in person?

Thanks.

1. i haven't been since 2007 but i believe they release the schedule a few days before the show? i think. i know we were always able to plan ahead of time.

2. i suspect so

3. there'll be a bunch of merch sellers - no idea if we'll get a poster but there'll at least be shirts. likelihood of meeting pearl jam - probably slightly better than average if they're the types to wander around the festival amongst the people, as opposed to hopping from backstage area to backstage area. guess it depends on the band member.

No word on the 3 new bands yet???? absolutely hanging to find out .... and the count down is on!

ETA ... looks like it will now be announced tomorrow night .... gaahhhh they are killing me!

AJ has been busy twittering all night,Somebody tweeted: Dude when is the BDO announcement? AJ tweeted back: Tomorrow at 3:40pm EST on Triple J.

So the wait is almost over, there are also 4 bands. Can't wait till this afternoon :corn: :corn:

Emm

Well we can all live in hope that this is so and by 3.50 this afternoon we will all be even more excited by the announcement!

Natashapearljamfan

By the way it's 3:40pm EST

Emm

Yes, I got that, but im sure they are going to stretch it out as long as they can ... so we wont actually be feeling informed until a little after that im guessing!

Natashapearljamfan

If you want a laugh check out AJ Maddahs twitter, he's been tweeting all night and some people are so rude

Awesome!

Someone on twitter asked AJ Maddah about a how long PJ could play, his response: "As long as they want and up to the curfew in each city." Here's hoping for a full concert set!

Loulou

Now thats what they should have announced! That is very cool .... as for the added bands ... a little bit meh for me .... Beady Eye might be ok

yellowledbetterman80

just got two of my etickets emailed to me, it feels a little more official now

BrainofBGA

My tickets are waiting for me at the Post Office!

Emm

I got an email saying mine are on their way!

doompony

that's a crap replacement list. i hate liam gallagher. and i've seen deftones and the hives at other big day outs and while they were entertaining enough (hives more so), it's nothing i'd feel any pain over missing out on.

hopefully it just means MOAR PEARL JAM ALL THE TIME YES!
