Foreshore 2008, Time to Compare

Foreshore is practically the Capital's biggest music festival, the others are Stonefest and that one at the racecourse. Both which are normally headlined by Canberra favourite sons Koolism.

Anywho, Foreshore is held on Canberra’s Commonwealth Place one of the best situated dance festival venues in Australia if not the world.

2007s lineup was

Sneaky Sound System (DJ/Live)
Fedde Le Grand
Muscles (Live)
Switch (UK)
Kid Kenobi & MC Shureshock
Jeff Drake
The Midnight Juggernauts
(The 3 in bold being great acts, worth paying for)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is 2008s lineup

The Presets (Live)
The Galvatrons (Live)
Nick Warren (‘Way Out West, UK)
16 Bit Lolitas (Holland)
Skool Of Thought (UK)
Kazu Kimura (Japan)
Mission Control (Live)
Doom & Hoodrat (Bang Gang)
The Stafford Brothers

Bass Kleph (Helium, Vacation Records)
Axe Aklins (Live)

(The ones in bold are the ones I would pay to see, I'm extremely keen to see the Stafford Bros, my favourite Australian DJ duo, and Axe Aklins ('Belconnens favourite son',(I lived there for a month, not something I would be claiming)), that big guy who tries to rap with MC Hau in Koolism). All my memories of Axe are of him in this crouch stance, but normally pointing at Hau.
I hope this lineup gets better. And as we all know, tradehooks believes that a festival lineup must have French artists, and the more there are, the better the rating

Current tradehooks rating - 0/11 French Baguettes
