I don’t understand what’s going down. They (media, press releases etc.) say that the third announcement in October was the final line up for Rhythm and Vines 2009, which makes it a total of 72 artists..
2008's full line up had 115 artists... were is the money for the missing 43 artists going???
Surely there is going to be a 4th announcement. There was last year...
The forth and final announcement for the 2008 festival was on 13th November 2008 (a year ago yesterday) and included big names such as Public Enemy and Ladyhawke, but the supposably third and final announcement for this year was a month ago.
The second Big Day Out announcement for Januarys 2010 festival was on Wednesday this week, so maybe the Rhythm and Vines promoters didn’t want the final line up to be in the same week as a BDO announcement. But still, it has been widely reported that last months announcement was the final..
so yeah, back to the start… what’s going down? Surely if Rhythm and Vines were cutting back by 42 artists for the 2009 festival, they would say so and make our tickets cheaper. Or have they got some massive artists up their sleeve, kinda like how they announced Public Enemy in the final announcement for 2008.
I hope they are sitting on some big names and my pick is that a fourth and final line up will be announced within the next fortnight.
Otherwise I’m gonna be slightly pissed.
Compare the 2008 and 2009 line up after the jump
