I heard this announcement on 5fm yesterday and I have been on a bubble ever since. I cannot believe it. I love you My Coke Fest. I love you 30 Seconds to Mars. Wow… this is just…. wow. I have no words to describe my excitement. WOOOOOOOOOOW.

AGREED!!! 30 SECONDS TO MARS! WOOT! JARED LETO! I’m soooo gheppy! Golden circle all the way!

Re. Catherine’s request to have MCR as well: babe relax, we cant have it all! Although having said that, My Chemical Romance did support MUSE in at the Wembley Arena recently. So perhaps the guys from MUSE could convince My Chemical Romance to join them in SA. I still think MUSE + Good Charlotte are gonna blow the rest away as they are the best live acts around.

Miichelle | Dec 16, 2007 | Reply
The Narrow has to be added to the line up! Prime who? come on! The Narrow would keep the standard up there with the rest of the line up!

I’m so happy
Clody90 | Dec 17, 2007 | Reply
I spent hours voting My Chemical Romance! How can you people even compare them to TSTM? My Chem have made three albums, a DVD with two discs plus a live album!!! I don’t see TSTM doing any of that, the only reason people wanna see TSTM is cos of Jared Leto, who might I add is not all that hot! Are we never going to get the truly hot bands here…….My Chem, Greenday etc
————————
Greenday was in South Africa already AFAIK. – OK, I got confused with another band… they weren’t here it seems…

I think 30stm coming out of this world. The people who wanted the other bands to come is nuts. Enjoy the concer!!!! Love your comment Sheri
Deonette | Dec 27, 2007 | Reply
When I heard the line up for next year, I thought nah, not really into Korn and Muse, so I wasn’t planning on going. But Thirty Seconds to Mars!!! Yeah! Now I am definitely going! Jared Leto and his band proved everyone who raised their eyebrows wrong. They are awesome.
And the Stripes? All their songs sound exactly the same. Same beat, same melody, same Jack screeching. Hideous.
Bring it on 30STM!!!
Kb16 | Dec 27, 2007 | Reply
Oh no!
Why the hell not My Chemical Romance? I know people love 30 Seconds To Mars, but the voting suggests My Chemical Romance to be the favorite!
GET MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE HERE (CAPE TOWN)!!!!

Lulu belle | Jan 4, 2008 | Reply
It’s kind of sad that some people here can’t respect a band. There are people here who praise 30STM and those who slam them. Same for MCR, RJA, White Stripes and Plain White T’s. Just be glad a good band is coming to South Africa.
KJZ | Jan 5, 2008 | Reply
Extra point: I agree with Adam. They should definitely get BFMV here. And I also heard the rumors of a MCR tour in SA.

Ok, I am thrilled that 30STM are coming to MyCoke Fest, but I am incredibly nervous about the fact that with less than 6 weeks to go (and them being confirmed 2 months ago) the band have yet to announce or confirm anything official on their site – http://www.thirtysecondstomars.com. All the other bands have announced the dates on their sites – check out GC, Kaiser Chiefs and Muse.

Muse are absolutely amazing. Now don’t get me wrong, 30 Seconds To Mars and Korn are great, but if they headline I will kill myself. You will find that Muse have the most devoted fanbase of all the bands, and have been voted Best Live Act multiple times by multiple sources. They mix all genres together in their live shows, mixing in riffs from jazzy stuff (piano things), metal (Rage Against The Machine), and classic rock (Led Zeppelin) to please everyone. I GUARANTEE you, if any other act headlines, Muse fans won’t be able to get into it, but just LISTEN ONCE to Muse live stuff and you’ll realise that EVERYBODY will be able to get into Muse. I mean, don’t go by that poll, for Gods sake there isn’t even a link to it on BigConcerts.co.za.
Otherwise, good job on the bands you got, they’re all amazing apart from Good Charlotte, wish Van Coke was playing in Jhb
