Anybody going to Singfest?

[oceanus83]

Is anyone going for Day 1? I really wanna watch Travis. But I'm a pathetic loser who's going alone because my friends would rather go for Day 2 (they like Jason or PATD). I like Jason Mraz, but to pay $200 for just one artist...that I can't do. Besides, I want to rest on Sunday so I won't be sleeping at work on Monday morning, haha.

Anyone?

15000 ppl are going for day 2

I heard bands don't get paid when they open for international acts either and they gotta rent their own equipment unless they can bring their own. But i guess it's like an investment for publicity. Maybe more people will check out your band's music after that. :\

Even if the local bands playing for this event don't get paid big bucks like the international bands, i'm sure they're gonna have loads of fun experiencing and sharing the same stage/venue/field.

As for me, i might have to watch from outside depending on how they positioned the place. Sigh, that's the price to pay for GAS

good for them. but it makes you wonder what the countryfolk are listening to

 

[oceanus83]

Grrr. To be honest, I'd rather die than sit through Pussy Cat Dolls. I don't even like Panic At The Disco.

Woohoo, I'm no longer a Junior Member. :mrgreen:

Woah tatz very sucky for the local bands with all that multi-million dollar big name sponsors (Starhub, Nokia, Visa etc..) and they dun get a token sum still must rent their own equipment?

 

[emg-rocks]

i dun think the bands need to rent their own equipments for singfest man

 

[someone]

They are providing equipment.
If its one band sharing the stage with international act then may have to bring your own amps.
But this time round its a dedicated stage for the regional acts. So the concept will be more like a normal gig where everyone shares equipment. only the gear will be more like Baybeats standard I think

 

[betsybug]

The bug has rearranged schedule to attend Day 1.
Oceanus - I'm dying to see Travis live too!
Let's see if Andy Dunlop is going to climb his amp stacks and/or fling his Gibbys.

i dont think they'll have to bring their own equip laa midas not so cheapo until like that.
they'll at least provide that.
yeaa i think they probably wont pay, or pay small money for local bands only.

"Can sing, can dance, got body." Sounds like some mechanical toy. :mrgreen: Sorry, I'm not really a fan. And I don't have a preference for girls, haha.

And no, I don't know how to sing that song. I hated it the minute I heard it so I never wanted to listen to it again. I just change the station or turn the radio off.

I'm just going for the first day so I guess I don't have to bother.

 

[BrainFailure]

this year's line-up doesnt bring me any excitement.
havent got my tix yet.

 

[kerplunk182]

Oh i didn't mean they have to rent their own stuff for this gig. I meant like for other shows when they open the show for bands. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

 

[re_unknown]

Panic At The Disco's current stuff isn't that bad...

 

[gossow]

=chrisiscoolerthanyou

hmm sorry, but i don't know how to sing don't cha. is that even a song?
don't miss universe contests showcase better bodies?

 

[chrisiscoolerthanyou]

Yeah at least that misunderstading is straightened out

Now hoping tix price will drop like last year but looks unlikely since Day 2 is already sold out

 

[syahysteria]

nope, the prices won't drop. the officials mentioned it at the singfest website
