Very typical Tyson. I'll leave you two to it. You are only embarrassing yourselves.
I like you guy, it was a joke.
If you asked the average Australian to announce racists names for mexicans you'd get barely none, maybe speedy Gonzalo

No worries.
Any thoughts on replacing BDO, or is it expected that the existing festivals are already offering more than enough to take up the slack?
I remember back when I was in my early twenties, we had fuckin' BDO and that was pretty much it.
Now it seems like you have a solid three or four (if not more, counting the smaller ones) major festivals per summer.
How can the market justify that? I don't really get it.
O love will you read the letters I will send to you.

No need for a catch all festival anymore.

It's 11:30pm here, and I've had about five hours sleep per night for the last two months.
My apologies. I remembered that post, but just didn't remember it whilst I was typing my previous post.
Maybe that's enough internet for me today?

I think the BDO will be fine, but it needs to downsize. Rather than competing with Soundwave, take it back down to just 3 double stages, or possibly even less. Get a decent headliner on, but try and get the price down closer to $100. Maybe consider cutting the boiler room, or at least filling it with more than just DJ's. Lower the capacity and give the festival more of a boutique feel.
You know the year Kanye West headlined, the show in Adelaide was stripped right back with him gone, and Soundgarden headlining. It didn't have a great lineup, but the feel of the festival being that much smaller reminded me more of the older days of the BDO, where you didn't have to fight with 20k+ other people for a spot and beer.
