Yep got free tickets, so drove down after work. Arrived just as REM came on so missed the support act. Drove straight home afterwards. The tickets were only confirmed on the morning of the concert otherwise I would have made arrangements to meet up afterwards or something.

[Sagerian]

Yeah we got the tickets free as well through work, I'd only found out the night before.

Well you need to stop avoiding me, next time you're here, let me know. I'll shout the Krispy Kremes and or booze!

They played the BDO right before Korn, and they were so boring we were ignoring them and watching Korn's crew setting up instead.

Though to the crew's credit they were shaking their heads at us and pointing to the next stage, saying it was really rude to be ignoring the other band.

[FordGirl]

I ate a beef burger at this years BDO wihle powderfinger played, it was the perfect ending to the day. I never saw them, but heard them - it was great.
