Splendour in the Grass 2012

The lineup for Splendour in the Grass 2012 has been announced, with a mix of local and overseas acts being placed in one of Australia's biggest festivals.

Jack White, Smashing Pumpkins, Bloc Party and At The Drive-In are some of the big acts heading this year's festival which I must say leaves me less than impressed.

The Smashing Pumpkins are, well, terrible live. Billy Corgan really has lost it - their shows have just become so indulged in him that it becomes really hard to appreciate what a great band they were and what classic songs they have. Corgan often ends up just playing his extremely average solo material.



Have a look for yourself. While I love the Smashing Pumpkins I definitely wouldn't be going out of my way to paying $300+ dollars to be seeing this.

Bloc Party might be a bit better live, but after seeing the video below I have understandably lost alot of respect for them:
