Sunburst Festival 09 Lineup.... FAIL

Last night was the official launch of Sunburst Festival 09 at Pavilion and it was when they were supposed to announce who was coming or going to perform next month. Can't be arsed to go because of traffic and I'm not a masochist.

From KLue's blog post, here's the lineup... so far.

2. Russian Winters (Australia)

1. Butterfingers (minus Loque)
2. Hujan
3. Bunkface
4. Estranged
5. Estrella
6. Pesawat
7. They Will Kill Us All
8. The Otherside Orchestra
9. Joe Flizzow
10. Meet Uncle Hussein
11. Gerhana Ska Cinta
12. Dead Mushroom
13. Arabyrd
14. Aseana Percussion Unit
15. Twilight Actiongirl

4. Sixx (Singapore)
5. Malique & D'Essentials (Indonesia)
6. Twentyfirst Night (Indonesia)

TBC

1. Coldplay
2. Prodigy
3. Lupe Fiasco

Three words: WTF. The list is underwhelming to say the least. I have nothing against the local and regional artistes performing, BUT COME ON...COLDPLAY'S STILL TBC!! I don't think the Prodigy's coming also lah (and unfortunately, the only song of theirs most people would know is that Firestarter song...) as they were (methinks) already in Singapore recently.... Don't even get me started on Lupe Fiasco.

At this point I say Coldplay might STILL have a chance, albeit a slim one... if they really want to stop by after their March 19th concert in New Zealand :P . Wistful thinking I know, but if they do show up, it'll be a first for most Malaysian fans that didn't see them a few years ago in Singapore.

I have nothing against N.E.R.D., but not even all three of them are coming (I heard). If Pharrell doesn't show up, then it's just stupid.

I should start planning to hawk off my ticket....
