No Sleep Til Festival line-up

in Local News

Click here to win the chance to watch your favourite band side of stage and meet them at No Sleep Til.

Ever since Descendents let slip that they will be in Australia this December, there has been a huge amount of talk about what exactly they are coming for. Finally, after weeks of speculation FasterLouder can reveal that the legendary So-Cal punks are headed down under this December to headline the inaugural No Sleep Til Festival.

No Sleep Til is a brand new national festival that is set to bring you some of the most exciting bands from both the punk and metal worlds. Heading up a huge line-up is seminal thrash-metal overlords Megadeth, who will be playing their classic album Rust In Peace in its entirety to celebrate the record’s 20th anniversary.

As previously mentioned Milo Aukerman and Bill Stevenson will be bringing their band to our shores for the first time in thirty years and joing them will be fellow Califonians NOFX and Me First and The Gimme Gimmes.

If that isn’t enough to get you blood pumping then the addition of shock-rockers GWAR to the bill surely will surely help matters. The self-professed “sickest band in metal history… destined destroyers of not only the human race but also reality itself” are set to release their twelfth studio album Bloody Pit of Horror this November, and are guaranteed to give one of the most disturbing performances Australia has ever seen.

FasterLouder is very excited to present the 2010 No Sleep Til festival:

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 25th Aug, 2010

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Attending this with intense levels of excitement.

Descendantsfest rules.

Editing to say tix are 140 bucks, and its a 10 hour event, so i'd think there is like 2 stages?

radiocide

radiocide said on the 25th Aug, 2010

what????????????
descendents at the arty?????
from the looks of the schedule, it seems melbourne may be the only city to get any sideshows.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 25th Aug, 2010

Yeah sorry, edited that out, had my info wrong sorry...
I doubt there'll be any sideshows really.

Also, I'd be seriously pissed if I lived in Adelaide or Perth...

AdelheidePhotography

AdelheidePhotography said on the 25th Aug, 2010

Awesome Line up, Im just shattered I knew about the leak. Band Ive been most wanting to be made official was Killswitch and they're the only ones not on it! grrrrr

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 25th Aug, 2010

Would not surprise me at all if Killswitch Engage broke up in the near future.
Howard Jones is knocking up porn stars and wasn't on their latest tour, and Adam is writing material with the original singer.

Fuck I hope it's not the case but, I was really looking forward to seeing them on this tour.

The fact that the festival is called 'No Sleep Til Festival' leads me to believe that it is a little less Beastie Boys - No Till Brooklyn and a little more Morris Minor and the Majors - Stutter Rap (No Sleep Til Bedtime).

The conspiracy theorists amongst us might even go so far as to postulate that that missing "l" clearly points to Morris Minor and the Majors being announced as the real headliner over Megadeth.

Poo-doo

Would be very IN for a Gimme Gimmes solo show.

tyler07

Yeah same day as Gorillaz in Bris.
I wonder what sort of capacity they're gonna have... It's at RNA which is same venue as soundwave which would sell, I dunno, 40,000 tix?

Why would they do that?

rodismdotcom

rodismdotcom said on the 25th Aug, 2010

This would have to be a multi stage event yeah or would it be like Loudmouth when it was one stage divided in two for continuous music - BDO mainstage style?

Not to sure how it will work in Adelaide - unless they are using both venues at the AEC?

Chan_Marshall

Chan_Marshall said on the 25th Aug, 2010

Why do people like that movie Empire Records? So embarrassing.

What is embarrassing Jack T, it was like a defining movie of my childhood/teenagerhood

Braveheart81

JackT's defining movie of 1995 was The Bridges of Madison County.

Why would anyone praise a movie that features Renee Zelwegger attempting to sing. The whole thing is god awful.

Shieldsy23

Shieldsy23 said on the 25th Aug, 2010

such a good lineup. i reckon this may be a better lineup than soundwave

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 26th Aug, 2010

So does anybody know if there is a second announcement for this or?
I'm kinda hoping not, im expecting very minimal clashes considering the only metal act I would want to see is Parkway Drive and maybe Suicide Silence.

I still want a reason as to why Killswitch Engage aren't on this...

And I think this fest also means Weezer/H20/Polar Bear Club are shoe-in's for SW...

mooney88

mooney88 said on the 26th Aug, 2010

but seriously. Rust In Peace. Incredible

DougieAndJayney

DougieAndJayney said on the 26th Aug, 2010



FUCK. YES.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 26th Aug, 2010

I would think one of Descendants/NOFX/Dropkick Murphys will be on at the same time as Megadeth.
So, looks like no Megadeth for Tyler.

batdan

batdan said on the 26th Aug, 2010



Did somebody call?

Oh Shit I've done it again.

mungbean

mungbean said on the 27th Aug, 2010

is there another line up announcement? i mean, it's a great line up but mainly the acts i want to see i've seen before. $140 bf for 20 bands? wtf??

not enough doofdoof and pill popping for Jack.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 27th Aug, 2010

Am posting to say I'm more than happy to spend 140 of my dolla-dolla-billz just to see descendants.
The best part of this festival is I want to see pretty much exactly half the lineup, and none of the metal really. So clashes will be minimal, and providing it is 20 bands/2 stages, that's 14 bucks a band...

mungbean

mungbean said on the 27th Aug, 2010

i'm comparing to the likes of soundwave and bdo for money worth-ness. and i won't see all 20 bands

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 27th Aug, 2010



Surely value for money is represented by what you can see actually see during a festival compared to what is available to see.

Having 6 stages and 150 bands is not necessarily better than having 2 stages and 20 bands.

Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 27th Aug, 2010

You will see 10 bands at this fest, you will see 10 maybe 12 max at BDO/SW.
Stop crying and go listen to 'Milo goes to college'

mooney88

mooney88 said on the 27th Aug, 2010

never seen a descendants cd anywhere

Spicy McHaggis

Spicy McHaggis said on the 27th Aug, 2010

Stop shopping at HMV or JB then perhaps?

mooney88

mooney88 said on the 27th Aug, 2010

I have spend about $200 in the last month in Red Eye records, but okay.

Spicy McHaggis

Spicy McHaggis said on the 27th Aug, 2010

Chill pill Mooney!

In that case, I'm sure Red Eye stock at least one or two of their albums.

atreyu!! i can't wait! i missed them the last time they were here, and i'm pretty sure part of my soul died.

Jaytime

so damn keen on this festival! have to do the melbourne trip for descendents though, but well worth it!

ry888

ry888 said on the 9th Sep, 2010

does anyone know if any of the bands will be doing sideshows yet?

Spicy McHaggis

Spicy McHaggis said on the 9th Sep, 2010

Considering its a start up festival I wouldn't think there'd be many if any.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 9th Sep, 2010

Even if it sells out I doubt there will be sideshows considering the schedule, some of the bands only playing a few dates, etc.

lineofbestfit

lineofbestfit said on the 9th Sep, 2010

tyler you need to face facts, you are a carpenter not a promoter so shut the fuck up buddy.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 9th Sep, 2010

A carpenter? I study physio...

You're a part-time barista and a full time centrelink cunt, so chill the fuck out.

And I know you lack a few brain cells, but look at the schedule and obvious facts, and I think the point I made seems pretty spot on.

Is he Karen or Richard?

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 23rd Oct, 2010

I'll take advantage of the bump to ask if anyone knows how this is sellig overall?
And I would be correct to assume that there is no further acts to be added?

ThomasJ

ThomasJ said on the 24th Oct, 2010

There are no further acts to be announced, selling good as far as i know, not sure what im allowed to say. But fuck yeah i cant wail, the last time i was due to see Megadeth mt flight got delayed like 5 hrs and fuck me so im keen as hell this time

lanesra23

lanesra23 said on the 24th Oct, 2010

Depending on times for Gorillaz, and set times for this, I'm fairly keen to do both of them. Sydney is still and option, just don't seel out in the next 3 weeks, please.
