New Order - Future Music Festival, Melbourne, March 11th, 2012 — Forum Archive

5 Dec 2011, 15:02

Seem to have lost my previous profile, so it's back to square one.

Bit conflicted this morning, absolutely stoked that NO are coming back, saw them last time at the BDO and the old Metro (now the Palace Theatre) in Melb, but the line-up of the FMF does not fill me with joy. Holy Ghost! and The Juan Maclean hold some attraction, but Fatboy Slim, Tinie Tempah, Jessie J and Die Antwoord???

I happened to drive past the showgrounds on Saturday and saw the crowd for Stereosonic - a bigger group of tools you have not seen together in your life. I will obviously need to get skintight jeans, black slip-on shoes (a la Karate Kid), oversized singlet cut out at the side to show off my huge muscles, novelty tatts, cap at a jaunty angle and big white sunnies.

(5 dates over 2 weeks)... Hmmm... :)

That's really shit scheduling then, on behalf of the organisers.

One coast to the other in <24hrs.

I wonder what sort of mess some of the acts will be in when they hit Perth! :laugh:

Or the fans. :\ohwell:

I couldn't do a festival 'properly' and then jump on a 5hr long-haul flight to the next festival!

Have you been living in a cave? :scratch: Just Google 'New Order' and you can find out all sorts of information before asking these kinds of questions here.

Doesn't that GP gig normally pull the cream of bogan rock? Kiss, Powderfinger, The Living End, and next up your sheilas remember them from the blue light discos, it's umm.. New Order...

The way the FMF dates drop there's definitely room for a Sydney sideshow if they're up for it. But will they? Melbs would require doubling back from Sydney or Radelaide.

Worse still, last year Leftfield didn't announce their sideshows until February and you ran the risk of missing FMF tickets.

Could there actually be a wrong time to move from Adelaide?

:\pimp3:

2012 GP main stage acts announced; Kravitz, Cranberries and Living End I think.

There's also a 'club' set up somewhere on the circuit called Sidetracked. Future Music were the promoters in 2011...

Other thing crossed my mind re: Melb sideshow - won't they have to fly internally after Adelaide to pick up international connecting flight back overseas? Could mean a sideshow post long-weekend if they were up for it before departing Melbourne maybe?

Know what you mean about this yr w/ Leftfield. We held out & were rewarded... but to miss the Order is not an option. Really not too keen on FMF myself, nor's the missus. Getting on a bit!

Got the VIP package for the Closer show and the 1st class entry for the New Order gig in Sydney.

It sounds like priority boarding on an aircraft - he'll probably get into the festival quicker via a special, smaller queue away from the smelly hoi polloi. Doubt it's meet and greet like The Light option.

He likes to treat himself, does Ryan :laugh:

I bet he has a VIP breakfast each morning :wink:

For a youngster, he's got a lot of disposable income has Ryan. :nod: :laugh:

Someone in my office has just bought VIP tickets for next year's Isle of Wight festival just to see Bruce Springsteen. Set her back a cool one thousand pounds each! Ouch. Apparently they've got different levels of VIP ticket there too, starting at 500 notes. Dunno what she gets for hers. For that money, I'd want to choose the setlist / be given their rider.

Hey if the breakfast comes with strawberry topped french toast and a cold glass of choclate milk I would be VERY happy.

CHOCLATE MILK is my favorite drink in the world, I would pick that over any crappy beer in the world or any liquor even if served in a GOLDEN cup.

I'd have thought Mark's a good bet for this as he seems to be out your way every second year.

I've already raised the possibility of going at home, and was told No! :laugh:

I'd be interested to see if they announce their 'own' gigs though and make this more economically viable. :nod:

Nobby's already sent around a spreadsheet with prices and flight times on!

I think, they will do in Australia exclusively the festivals. Maybe they will do one or two gigs in New Zealand during the week between the festival-weekends.

Wouldn't they be better off going to New Zealand before Brisbane / after Adelaide, rather than just rushing around like that. The schedule looks painful enough as it is.

Be nice if they could do a UK tour like this - gigs at weekends only. Would make getting time off work a lot easier! :laugh:

... and during the week in Germany and Benelux would be fine.

Dont see myself doing these I'm afraid CTB. Much as I'd like to. The 2002 was ace but we were getting about 3 A$ to the £ then.

Was out in Oz this time last year and the exchange rate has killed us. Think I'll save my resources for tours closer to home. Am writing this from my bed in Santiago, at the back end of a 10 day splash, so finance conscious right now!

Was hoping this thread would have flushed out Chris Z, possibly my fave NOOL poster of all. Where are u mate?

Should do a HAIL CHRIS Z badge for Oz. :laugh:

I just had to look him up. Last logon was Feb 2002, right after the last Oz gigs.

Maybe he defected to the Third Battalion? :\ohwell:

I know it's a hike up to Auckland, but at least they are doing one gig on your side of the ditch. Give us a report.
