I'm hanging out to see AFI, White Stripes and Iggy Pop, so they will definately be on my list to see. Will make some more decisions when the second group is announced, but I'll definately be there at the Auckland Show.
Is anyone else going to the Aus/NZ shows? Does anyone have any recommendations to see any of the bands listed?

[Danny Electric]

2 Many DJ's are awesome live and so are The Mars Volta.

[Looking for boobies.]

One of the best line ups for BDO in a while, imo.

I might just think about going to it next year.

[Bad Company]

Yeah, I would of liked to have gone last year to see Beastie Boys, but much like Metallica the year before, but they were the only decent band there.
Last time I went was 02 and it was Prodigy, The Crystal Method, SOAD and NOFX etc. Kickass fun.

I made a point of never going to big day out after the Limp Bizkit thing :'(

[El Capitano Gatisto]

The Magic Numbers are excellent.
