    Awsome line up for 09, however i hope the event management for Sydney is better than last year as it was the worst organised event i have ever been to. It took 3 hours to get in, missing on a number of good acts, everyone was left starving and dehydrated as there wasnt enough food/drink stores to account for the people!
    A better location is a must!!!
    Other than that, this year is going to be sick!
