From the sublime to the ridiculous...

Two very contrasting concert announcements have been made over the last 24 hours...


First up was the initial line-up for the 2008 Big Day Out. Arcade Fire! LCD Soundsystem! The Clean! I might have to seriously consider going - for the first time ever (although I HOPE that Arcade Fire will be doing a 'normal' gig somewhere as well).


And then this morning there was the rather more low-key revelation that the 'big' act at next year's Mission concert is... wait for it... John Mellencamp! Man, I feel sorry for the 9,000 suckers who had already bought tickets for that one!


Trivia note - John Mellencamp used to be managed by David Bowie's 'MainMan' Tony de Fries, who was also responsible for his former goddawful stage name 'John Cougar'.




Mr Bowie joins Arcade Fire on stage at 'Fashion Rocks' in September 2005.
