They will limited on where the side shows can be- Lees and West dont let the headliners fill arena shows outside of their precious festival grounds. Yah, the Myer Music Bowl would be a venue option (I dont know what the Sydney equivalent is), but the recent venue preference of arenas in the US may indicate they like indoor venues for their bad ass production.

I'd imagine they'd play the Hordern in Sydney. Trent seems to like the place.

To be perfectly honest, I'd love to see them play The Forum in Melbs. Bigger than The Paltro, but still all old school and badarse and whatnot. Saw The Presets there in June and totally lost my shit.

Thats a great venue.

Id be happy with anywhere thats NOT an arena, but Im hard to please. The Sydney Entertainment Centre is what I couldnt think of before, thats sort of the size of the Music Bowl, yah? Ill just keep my fingers crossed for an acoustic show at the Opera House

The Opera house that would be sweet!
Yeah I agree the Forum would be my fave venue to see them in Melb.
BDO is like Grape Grazing, (too many hoons and yes wankers) IMAO
Solareyes we will have to catch up when you get back here

It would be so disappointing if NIN played BDO...impossible to get a good view. I totally agree that the Forum in Melbourne would be the best venue, or even the Metro would be great again. The smaller the venue the better.
I wish there was some place where we could communicate to NIN to give our opinion that BDO sucks, and for the sake of true fans (who will not get to see their fav band due to dickheads in the pit) to please not play there.

Idea: What if we bombard the NIN-camp with anti-BDO messages. I have found an email on the remix website under Trent's details - *NO NO NO*
I sent an email to that address pleading for them not to do the BDO. If quite a few Aussies send similar messages they may reconsider (if it hasn't been set in concrete yet).

What do you think? Perhaps I'm being too idealistic

It is too late in the game, the line up for 2009 will be basically finalised by now. Remember in past years the headline acts were announcing their solo show around this time (Tool, RATM)

Also, I don't think email bombing will go down too well.

What other rumours have people heard for BDO? I hear Radiohead and Neil Young (wtf) a lot.

I hear TISM are back.

Let's not bombard any email addresses eh?

And the Metro is a stinking piss hole.

Ok, Ok...I'm just so devastated that they may play BDO...that would really suck. God I hope those rumours are false, but the fact they have been playing so many festivals lately doesn't give me much hope. Lets at least hope they would play some shows outside of the BDO while in Aust.

In terms of the Metro...I agree it has some flaws, but I still prefer small venues and would prefer the Metro a million times more than crappy BDO

I don't know why people are so against seeing them with a large crowd? NIN can't sell out an arena style venue by themselves in Aus, so why not do BDO where they can. The atmosphere would be quite amazing given how good some of the setlists have been.

End the thread. No post can get better than this.

I think the ideal situation, for myself, would be to see them at a sideshow THEN at BDO. Because I could get the focused Trent, with good sound, then I could get massively high Trent who .... oh wait.

The best part about BDO - NIN is the fact that all of my NIN-hating friends will have to sit through it.

Back in 2000 NIN won a lot of new fans at BDO or converted some of the more casual fans into nutters.

Were they upset in 2005 when they found out NIN were no longer about the drunken falling about?

Saul Williams just got announced for Meredith Festival, so hopefully that means sideshows...

Liking the sound of that!

Petra: Tempe, Sydney.

Hellow old friends and new!

First Sydney meet when?

I've never been to Meredith, has anyone gone? You can BYO there can't you?

Maybe we should organise a carload....
