Can't wait :) I hate the Grates and I'm not a Tame Impala fan, so standing through them is going to be hard, but the rest of the lineup is awesome!

The biggest announcement today would seemingly be that Smiggens is still alive.

MASSIVE SCOOP: my mate believes that because his 3 favourite bands are the Strokes, the Hives and Bloc Party that next year we'll be seeing Bloc Party come to our shores to headline On the Brightside.

Massive news, just really exciting to know we'll be getting Bloc Party next year. Can't wait ey. Fuck this year. Next year ftw!

yeah, dunno what happend. shit got busy.

it's good, because last year it was all under the one tent... no clashes.

nervous about getting tickets... all the gen-y kids with their fancy gadgets snaffling them up early and only going for Tame Impala. should be a big british skin head component too... they love Jarvis, working class hero from Sheffield.

Damn those Gen Y kids and their fancy gadgets.

I wish logging onto Ticketek wasn't so difficult on my typewriter.

The Hives have been bumped down and Pulp are now headlining.

Thought this might happen when the Hives moved their shows to smaller venues. I'm sure this will please a lot of people. Doesn't bother me either way, I think the Hives will be better with the shorter set.

I am going to swag it out so hard.

I want them to post the times already. My gf and I did an estimate a while ago and I want to see how accurate it is.

Our estimate...

Pulp 9:30 – 11:00
The Hives 8:00 - 9:00
Modest Mouse 6:40 - 7:30
Tame Impala 5:30 - 6:10
The Kills 4:20 - 5:00
The Grates 3:20 - 3:50
Foster The People 2:30 - 3:00
James Blake 1:40 - 2:10
Warpaint 12:50 – 1:20
Tim & Jean 12:00 – 12:30

Did The Strokes play for ninety minutes last year?

MilkySheep

MilkySheep said on the 12th Jul, 2011

I didn't go, but I doubt they did. I saw their headlining gig in Melbourne and they only played for just over 60 minutes.

I think Pulp could much easily pull off a 90 minute set... but maybe they'll only do 75 minutes, giving the lower bands (FTP, Warpaints and James Blake) an extra 5 minutes each.

Stefan Beck

Stefan Beck said on the 12th Jul, 2011

75 minutes sounds about right.
One hour of playing broken up with fifteen minutes of Jarvis Cocker banter.

cannot wait for jarvis banter

Can't tell if you guys are taking the piss or he actually is funny? (btw I've never seen him live, so I have no idea either way)

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 12th Jul, 2011

Jarvis Cocker has the best stage banter of any artist I've seen.

He's engaging, funny, and topical. You can see that he enjoys the banter as well.

I'm not sure if it is likely to be any less with Pulp as opposed to solo, but I hope not.

MilkySheep

MilkySheep said on the 13th Jul, 2011

Oh cool, I don't know a lot of Pulp so I was going to leave about halfway through their set but if his banter is good I could see myself staying.

Faris

Faris said on the 13th Jul, 2011

i was gonna stay for as long as i could before heading over to devendra:)
