Wow, mad disrespect to Kurt! MAKE SOME NOISE FOR KURT YOU GUYS! Side note - Brisbane 2007 was actually my first proper concert (excepting The Wiggles and school orchestras)

Prior to hearing about the AI thing, this was my favourite poster of the tour leg The Melbourne night 2 one SUCKS 😒

I’ll believe it when I see it. This band teases me with releases around my birthday, but never on it. Meteora 25/3 Fighting Myself 24/3 UFTB 27/3 And various other March/April releases

NO. FUCKING. WAY. This band does not release ANYTHING *ON* my birthday, just painfully close enough to tease me

They announced them in the poster attached to the email adding Adelaide - “With Special Guest POLARIS” above all the dates of Aus/NZ

Polaris for support Australia and NZ

It’s not the genre, it’s the band. After MTM their popularity dropped massively out here. Playing Geelong is like playing Orange County - you’re in LA, but not LA.

I mean, I’m stunned. Not as stunned as the Adelaide and Perth fans who bought tickets to east coast shows, but absolutely stunned. I’d have been surprised if they announced Adelaide WITH Brisbane/Melbourne/Sydney, but MONTHS AFTER? Wow.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Even Taylor Swift didn’t play Perth or Adelaide on the Eras Tour, unfortunately no chance for LP fans on the west coast/ central regions. And there’s no way they play our 45k seat stadiums, without being the AFL Grand Final artist (which I’m surprised they haven’t been TBH - we had Snoop Dogg this year 😒)

No one ever mentions what happened to the Old Zealand…

Now where have I heard this before…?

Yeah so, that’s $600 I can’t afford just to add one extra show.

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE MARCH 10 IS MUCH BETTER FOR ME BUT I’VE ALREADY BOUGHT FOR MARCH 8

Every night in Brisbane feels weird

Why the fuck does no one listen to me? 😂

Also, at Good Things 2024, Korn played 75 minutes in the headline slot. I’m not paying AU$240 for a 75 minute LP set - especially after adding on top of that the 2 hour train each way, hotel and dog boarding costs. PLUS the fact I don’t give a fuck about any of the other acts.

I will stake everything I have in this world on them not playing Perth - even Taylor Swift didn’t play Perth on the Eras Tour, following massive negotiations with the state government. It’s the self promotion teasers that have people speculating over here that they’re playing their own thing, and not Good Things - or at least in conjunction. Tool appear to be forerunners for the headline act on Good Things, but LP could of course still get top billing on a co-headline festival. It makes sense to me for them to play a festival here, but not ONLY a festival. Maybe headline Adelaide and Melbourne sideshows, play GT Melb/Syd/Bris, then back to Sydney for a headline sideshow - Brisbane won’t get a festival show and a separate headline.

BOO!

I’ll tell the spiders, snakes and sharks - WHY DO ALL THESE THINGS BEGIN WITH S?!

Yes. As well as being an isolated nation, our capital cities and population are spaced quite far apart - it’s about a 3.5-4 hour flight Sydney (East Coast) to Perth (West Coast) - and the cost of travel diminishes the limited profits. Basically they’d have to play smaller shows, spaced apart, with limited chances at multiple nights. Many artists aren’t as overrated as (redacted) Swift and Ed (redacted), and can’t fill 50k seats over 2-3 nights to screaming teenagers and middle class housewives either. We also have football games through March-September in most of our larger stadiums, and the code has first dibs on bookings for their schedule.

I’ll be particularly excited if these pop up in a city that isn’t on the Good Things Festival dates

They’re everywhere. They could be in your house right now!

Oh yes, I’m VERY MUCH on the “it matters” side of this - but there’s a SIGNIFICANT portion of people who aren’t
