Why, oh why is Splendour in the Grass again scheduled for the same weekend as Chicago's Lollapalooza? It takes the eye just a second to see why bawley might feel this way. Headlining the enormous US festival is Radiohead. Yeah, not happy. Looks like we'll be waiting even longer for Thom and co. to make it down under again. The Splendour line-up whilst reasonably grand comes a poor second to the Chicago 3 day festival. I mean why would you get on a plane and fly 24 hours when you can just go to Chicago and lose your luggage?
This bawley girl is disappointed indeed.

In the end I didn't even try to get Splendour tickets today. Going to stick to side-shows in Sydney this year - some great ones to chose from - Sigur Ros, The Fratellis, Band of Horses (!) and of course Vampire Weekend.
Will wait 'till Glasto next year or might make it to Falls Festival for New Years this year....
