The line up seriously sucks…. Where are the hard rock bands? And what is up with the venue? I’m so disappointed and especially after such a long wait.

Bianca | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
WTF – If thats not the gayest dissapointment, then I dont know!!

So far not worth even a general addmission ticket.

I can not believe that Oasis even made it!!

Unless they pull 2 Aces out thier sleeves for the other bands – Zero fest will def have Zero attendents!

This is the worst line up i have ever seen, every year they a bring at least one hard rock/ metal band, i have’nt been this dissapointed since the day i found out santa does not exsist. What happend to everyones votes i can remember seeing alot of bullet for my valentine slipknot linkin park and so much more. This just means that nobodys votes count and R600 for golden circle to see this shit so sad…. Please somebody design a page saying ” 2009 coke fest is the worst coke fest. ” You guys suck!!!!!!!!

Wayne | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
They will need to bring Dimmu Borgir and Gorgoroth to make up for the pansy bands already on the list.

Going by the lineup so far, the next band announced will probably be Hanson…….

TBlaar | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
NEE, NEE, NEE, NEE, NEE……
This was the first year I had the time and money to go….and now the line up suck….
Seriously I don’t know one of the bands, maybe Oasis but if I need to think of a song…..I can think of anything.
If the other band does not contain either “BULLET” OR “LIKIN PARK” OR SLIPKNOT, I’m not wasting my money not even for a shitty ticket..
And for the person on top of this page who like this bands, al I am going to say is that your going to be the only one there, if the other bands are’nt better….

Linki | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply

WTF? Where’s the heavy stuff? If this is the best they could manage after months of stringing us along I’d rather sit at home and listen to a Slipknot CD. Thanks for saving me R650 guys.

Bryan | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Why did they waste our time with voting? I don’t recall anyone voting for those bands. Why did they have a teaser trailer if none of those bands were on it? This will be the worst fest ever. Coke fest should be better and bigger each year not worse

Bianca | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
dam this is the lamest shit i have ever seen…..seriously WTF.

all this wait for nothing….i seriously hope by the grace and mercy of god that they announce a couple of good bands to make up for the crap they are giving us now.

steve | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Holy Shite !!!

Coca cola ZERO Fest as in ZERO Talent, ZERO Interest, ZERO Attendance and ZERO metal… Believe It!

An all time low for the coke fest, from Seether, Metallica, Staind, Evanesance, 30 Seconds and Korn to o-a-SIS!! They’ve got to be kidding!

It obviously took so long to announce the bands because they couldn’t get even one with talent.

I will definitely not be attending, and I can only hope that a real band decides to tour SA sometime soon.

WHAT A BUMMER!!

The Maggot | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best line up so far.. OASIS!!!!

Its just fine. The emo kiddies and Slipknot fans go sit at home and feel sorry for themselves.

Wont be different from any other night..

Thanks so much for bringing the best band in the world down….

Michael | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
the Gallaghers will probably be in prison or rehab, and wont make the cokefest, so they’ll pull an axl rose on you oasis fans….

Bring IN FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, I agree with the majority of the currently posted comments, this sucks.

Tristan | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
They better pack some heat and give us some decent heavy bands! I am keen to see the bands above but after last yr this is such a disappointing lineup. What happened to everyones votes? Why the hell did they have to move the venue for CPT, Kenilworth was perfect…

Mike | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
What a shyte line-up!!

I can’t believe I waited sooo long to be sooo disappointed. We’ve gone from Metallica to Oasis – somebody explain? The organizers have clearly lost the plot, good luck with this years wank-fest!

Dayne | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Michael its only emo and indie this year (panic at the disco), what happend to VARIETY? I like Oasis and Snow patrol, but i wont pay R600 to see them, if they had Kings of leon instead of Panic things would be different, not keeping my hopes up for the headliner. And no themetal heads are not whiny about it, (see coments on previous page) they got shot down for their opinion, they could at least cater for one heavy band, shows you, if they take 8 months to contact big bands they wont get any where.

HENRY | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Gosh…. look ppl they will probably announce one hard rock band… just be patient!! Oasis is not “old”… they still bringing out new material and are still one of the best bands EVER!

I’m just glad to see there’s a bit of variety this year… its always been rock rock rock… and maybe they need a change!

As for no1 going? I think they’ll still get a damn good attendance because there are lots of people who will flock to see Oasis and Snow Patrol… well at least those with music taste…

Neill | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Really rad band to be announced today. Promise. Lots of you will be super-stoked.

The teaser was created with no knowledge whatsoever of the bands that were coming. People weren’t playing games, line-ups just weren’t in place.

Hope you love the band that they announce today as much as I do…!

Scruff | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
‘Disappointing’ does not even begin to describe it… 5fm, you can really do better than that. What was the purpose of all the votes? Deciding which bands to exclude rather than include?

Seriously!

Oja great, so fot 9 or 10 hours bands will be singing us to sleep, and for the last 2 hours we gonna have a blast. No way I’m paying for that, if I want someone to sing me a lalaby to go to sleep I’ll go ask my mother. Big Concert and 5FM F’ed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awwww, I was actually looking forward to Coke Fest this year coz of the results of most votes on the net…Bullet, Tool, Slipknot, etc. Seriously wtf happened. It says that there are still bands to be annouced so I’m hoping theres something decent.

Bevan | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
relax guys… it’s just marketing… the one or two decent bands will be announced shortly.

Neil | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Seriously whats with the awful line up? What happened to times when Metallica would headline My Coke Fest.. it wasn’t too long ago… Hopefully when the full list is announced this horrible atrocity will be righted

Stephen | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
The line up so far does not really give me that buzzy feeling to run and buy a ticket.

As far as South African bands go, my vote goes to Saving Silence!!! They really know how to get a crowd going, next big name of South Africa I say!

Get them there and I’ll be there! I’ll even get their tattoo on my calf!

But as for the international acts, you guys really have to pull something out of the hat here, a lot of people seem very dissapointed so far… I’ve been to every show since Metallica, and every year it seems to degrade a little.

Just adding my two cents…

Jacques | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
These are crap bands… I won’t pay to go… maybe a free ticket…

And the CT venue changed because of residents around the race course complaining each year.. some even try to sue the city.. I’m sure the organizer tried his\her best but if the city denies then he\she has no choice.. Blame the residents!!!

Ok, so I’m not going to Coke fest this year, who wants to see a bunch of fag in tweed blazers, playing clean guitars and singing songs about girls and butterflies. Come on!! How can they go from Metallica, Korn, Muse, Staind, and Seether to a indie HUG Fest.

PLEASE ORGANISERS get us Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, The Peppers or Offspring!!!

So they must have a discussion about this on air. Let’s all phone in, pretending to be super stoked and then tell them hows it going to be when we’re live.

It’s a sad day when a country’s best home for live music is this line-up…

Yeah….
That stupid idiot in Krugersdorp….
That is the only reason they are bringing these bands, I mean a can go from Kings of Leon to Bullet for my Valentine to Atreyu….

Where exactly did this info come from, cause they’ve only announced OASIS on 5FM and they say no one knows the line up, only the DJ on 5FM knows the ones they are annoucing…..

And even if this line up is legit, there are still a lot more to be announced……

sigh! i dont mind listening to those bands on a cd but i wont pay R600 to go watch!
you cant just cater for one style of rock it needs to be across the board like last year. i mean that ranged from 30seconds to mars to korn!
too mellow man, the unannounced ones better be a little heavier

its definately Oasis.. they the headlining act. From korn and metallica to oasis.. what a joke!!

1. SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY YOU CALL THAT A LINE UP!!!!! And for the cost of a ticket I wouldn’t DREAM of going UNLESS you announce that there will be great bands attending too like in previous coke fests!!!!! And what is up with the venue? I’m EXTREMELY disappointed!!!!
2. I cannot for the life of me understand how you can have coke fests with bands like Seether, Metallica, Staind, Evanescence, 30 Seconds to mars, Korn AND THEN HAVE THIS!!! I hope the bands to be announced are enough to make up for the others in the line up.
3. I think that 99.99% of the people who have been interested in my coke fest over the years have now lost all interest; this is not what my coke fest is supposed to be!!! After all the other coke fests I can’t believe that this is who they choose!!

Leanne | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
SERIOUSLY!!!!! OASIS? SNOW PATROL? WTF???

PEOPLE AIN’T GOING TO BUY TICKETS TO SEE THEM. HERE ARE A LIST OF “BETTER” BANDS YOU COULD HAVE CHOSEN:

ok people let’s just all calm down…i agree that the line-up SUCKS as up to now, but this was the line-up last year….

KORN, MUSE, CHRIS CORNELL, KAISER CHIEFS, GOOD CHARLOTTE, 30 SECONDS TO MARS and PRIME CIRCLE.

So we must at least expect another 3-4 international bands…let’s all bow down and pray….for better things to come….

OMG you guys suck so bad. Britney Spears doesn’t suck as much as you do and she sucks bad man!

I mean seriously? Oasis? What did they pay you to play? If it wasn’t bad enough that 5fm has dropped anything heavier than rock, they now dig deep down to the bottom of the barrel to see which is the cheapest they can get? What the hell did we vote for on your site and all the Facebook sites?

WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE VOICE AND I HOPE YOU ALL BOYCOTT THIS FARCE.
BURN COKE FEST BURN!

Do you think they’d still come if they saw these comments?
Get BENT! 5fm and stop listening to your marketing dept, listen with your hearts like you used to.

How on earth were there rumours about Slipknot and Tool ? Did you idiot organisers even have a look at our voting list ?

Even if you guys do bring one or 2 “hard” bands that I actually wanna see, I’d have to sit through the rest of this junk (Panic at g@y bar. etc) before I get to see the cool bands.

You guys outdid yourselves last year… Now you have to work harder than ever to reach the benchmark. Please tell Oasis they can stay at home. If you are going to bring out an over the hill brit pop band from the early nineties, at least get BLUR… they at least can play their instruments properly and will rock!
Pay the money and bring the Foo Fighters… Or how about the Kings of Leon? Or Linkin Park? I can go on all day:)
I’m glad you got the local bands right this year, I will support the event based on their appearance on a big stage, anything the internationals can throw at me will be a bonus.
Rock on!

Okay this is how I see it -

Coke Fest 2008

- 30 Seconds 2 mars
- Kaiser CHiefs
- Good Charlotte
- Chris COrnell
- Muse
- Korn

Okay, so we have here -
3 awesome bands (Chris, Muse and Korn)
1 poppy emo band (Good CHarlotte)
1 Lame band (Kaiser chiefs)
And 1 band all the girls love (30 seconds)

COke Fest 2009

We have 1 poppy band – Oasis
1 lame band – Snow Patrol
1 band all the girls love – Panic at the Disco.
SO that leaves us with 3 awesome bands to follow!

SO can everyone please leave the moaning for after the whole line-up is showed!

Awesome thanks!

I’d rather stick red-hot pokers through my eyeballs than listen to this crapfest you guys have dished up for us. In comparison to last year, you SUCK. Thanks, but no thanks. Before you get names such as System of a Down, Rammstein, Linkin Park,, Tool, In Flames and Static X here, you’ll just remain a tiny feeble little organisation that’s trying (in vain) to get noticed as a world-rate music organiser.

Blah.

Get more interesting names on your list, or lose your music audience forever.

Samurai wielding? So that kid in Krugersdorp was carrying a Japanese warrior, was he? Hahaha

My point is not all metal is death metal (BFVM is definitely not death metal) and that metal is separate from emo. I love metal, but I don’t only wear black, I don’t wear makeup, and I don’t cut myself. Although I might want to cut myself halfway through Oasis

While I’m all for variety in the music, I do feel that the line-up on this page is a little mellow (BFMV aside). Snowpatrol? In my humble opinion they are too far pop to be considered rock.

There also seems to be a misconception as to what constitutes as an emo, because people from two social groups are using the same term in a different context. The hard rock fans call posers and soft/rock fans emos. And people who think they listen to rock, but don’t call metal fans emos. I think that if you’re going to insult each other with the same term you should at least decide what you mean by it.

And OMG!!CT venue SUCKS BIG TIME!!!. Mike I feel it with you bro.I think us Capies should draw up a petition on the web to have it back at KWRC.I heard about this last year and I think it must be some DICKHEAD parliamentarian who lives in upper KW who stopped this. Ppl who live near GP stadium have no choice about the noise level,why must KW area be diff? It is once a year,so WTF.

I’m sure OUR Coke Fest is not intended to cater purely for the last of the dinosaur hard-core metal freaks! If 5fm only catered for them we wouldn’t even need a venue as big as the golden circle. Great line up so far but still hoping for Kings of Leon & Linkin Park. OASIS will probably end up rocking the place more than most, they sure rocked Wembley! Bullet is already guaranteed to kick-ass, so with the lack of rock acts hitting our shores these day’s, its hats off to 5fm & Big Concerts.

Then u cn just NOT go to the genre u dont like more ppl will go 2 specific. cos the mixed genre thing REALLY doesnt work.

Dude,in what world do you live in? “Hard-core metal”, as you put it, has a massive following in south africa!!!!

Now, sure bullet is cool and I might buy a normal ticket,but we still need a MAJOR band! Im keeping my fingers crossed…

Oh and Bullet for my Valentine might fall under the genre of metalcore,but lets be honest its not really true metal…However(before you get offended), although I am a metalhead, I do like a variety of different genres…

Hoping for(one of these): Rage Against The Machine,Slipknot,Foo Fighters,Children Of Bodom(highly doubt it though),Smashing Pumpkins,ACDC,Placebo,the White Stripes,Marilyn Manson,Rammstein,DepecheMode

LOL. You guys are hilarious(and a little sad) , these comments have literally made me fall off my chair. chill people, wait for the full announcement.

my fave is “… but lets wait till 7pm and then decide what to do.”
are you going to charge the 5fm studios and demand that they bring your bands … or else. be happy that you are getting these bands – it’s better than nothing … and anyways you can always you know … not go!

ror | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Yes I do realise that a band like Children of Bodom can not be expected to play at cokefest,however old metal bands like Iron Maiden might(they have been here before). The question is,there is obviously a huge market in SA,why not do a big fest like other countries have and then really cater for everyone?

Like I said,there is still isnt a HUGE band that will make me buy a golden circle,still keeping fingers crossed…

Its because of people like you that our music will always have following,because our music is not popular and if idiots like you start liking it…well then the true spirit of metal has been lost!

EISH…Feel like I need to state my loyalities here first!
Firstly – I don’t classify myself as a metalhead or Emo or indie lover. Last years fest ROCKED (particularly Korn and Muse). This year…SIGH…is not looking promising in any way. Big Concerts & 5FM: Seriously?
Secondly: To the PR person making comments: Snow Patrol was on this website’s lineup since this morning. You’ve said (or some other Admin or PR person has) that 5FM hasn’t announced them yet and there are still some “big bands” coming. After the Snow Patrol announcement on the radio, I’m left thinking you do your job too well!

I’ll wait and weigh up my options later once everyone is announced…but just so you know, everyone I’ve spoken to today who have attended the last few concerts are SEVERELY disappointed.

What about Kings of Leon and Coldplay, that would be bands general public would want to see. Not crappy bands for big open air concerts. Bring Killswitch Engage and All That Remains as the hard bands and some current big names that are getting played on radio for those commercial music lovers.

Ai ya yai, how we South Africans can MOAN about everything. You may think Oasis is “old” or “gay” or even that the lead singer is “dead”, but let me just say that they are none of the above. I would like to see you say that to Liam Gallagher’s face. Have you heard the phrase “football hooligan”?

You will NEVER see Oasis come to this country EVER again, so that is a good call they are coming. All the other bands you want to see probably will. This is SERIOUSLY a ONE TIME opportunity, so if you don’t want to see one of the greatest bands of all time (and argue with that all you want, the numbers prove it) then just don’t go and let the rest of us enjoy it.

You wanna see Metal bands? Good god guys, how many of you bought tickets to see Nile, one of the best Metal bands in the world? Probably none of ya. And that’s why they cancelled.

FYI (from Wikipedia): In a poll to find the 50 greatest British albums of the last 50 years conducted by Q Magazine and HMV, two Oasis albums were voted first and second (Definitely Maybe and (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? respectively). Two other albums by the band appeared in the list – Don’t Believe The Truth came in at no.14, and the album that has previously been heavily criticised by some of the media, Be Here Now, made the list at No.22.

Is that not f***ing good enough for ya?

What a gay line-up! Surely better could’ve been done! There’s so many big ‘must-see’ bands like Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, Tool, Coldplay and/or many more…Oasis ain’t one of them, they might’ve been if it was 1996! And Snow Patrol??? They going to sing us to sleep with their only 2 good songs? Bleh!

@ the dude I mentioned on two separate occasions that I’m still going to the concert. The only band on the line up I have expressed dislike for is snow-patrol. I never mentioned cradle of filth (though I like their older music). I have been civil to all people here, and generally light-hearted and positive. I honestly don’t see what you’re attacking me for.

@ \m/ Dude, why on earth should i be lumped into the same category as Greg? I merely expressed my personal opinion on the kind of band I’d like to see. My comment about metalheads was perhaps a bit of a generalization but after reading most of the comments I think you understand how it would be an easy generalization to make.

If we could organise a lineup like Killswitch, Trivium, In Flames, Opeth etc then sure, it will be fantastic, but that is never going to happen at a Coke gig so all the guys calling it “gay” etc (not necessarily you) really aren’t contributing much to this discussion.

Look, it’s obvious that they have to make money which means they can’t bring teh METAL because people will complain and sue other people like with DevilDriver… But come the f*** on, this line-up isn’t worth a dime.

Bullet, yes. Because whatever people say, Bullet rocked hard and they still do, and they will play old stuff, so that’s epic.

But everything else so far sucks ass.

Of course it needs to be diverse, but hell – they could at least get GOOD bands, like Kings Of Leon – they’re touring for new album and it’s not exactly going out of your way if you’re on tour already.

So pathetic, really…

And for local bands:

Reverse The Sands
Verona Walls
Betray The Emissary
Revenge By Dawn (will melt your f***ing faces)

I think us metal-heads have been expecting to much, or maybe we have been reading coke/zero fest wrong all these years. Bullet’s cool but it’s whining metal and I’m not willing to pay to see any-one on this list so far. Hopefully I’m wrong and they announce an epic metal band next but I’m not getting my hopes up and so far, I’m not getting my money out my wallet for this either.

If they announce someone good (ex. Lamb of God) I’ll go just for that band.

Gregory | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
@ \m/ – No problem man. I happen to favour a lot of bands from a lot of different genres and decades. For example – the mighty ACDC

Looking at the list though, Snow Patrol wasn’t a bad choice in terms of what has been popular here over the last year or two. Oasis and Pan!c were quite a surprise though. I don’t necessarily think they’re crap (ok, i don’t like panic at all), but i think there were many better options to look at first. I loved Oasis’ Morning Glory album though so they might not be a total disaster.

Personally, since this is a rock gig and not a metal show I’d like to see them add the Foo Fighters and maybe RATM but i doubt that will happen. The Foo’s are on a break i think and RATM, well… are they officially back together or are they just kinda having fun?

Do people actually understand the utter greatness of Oasis? We aren’t talking some pony, spikey haired whinging Mummy’s boys straight from their shitty, messy bedrooms who whine and whinge about the pain of life. We’re talking rock n roll, throw your arm around you mate, try and feel confident, edgy and aggressive about life. They are the best band who will have ever been to this country. And they are loud as hell live. Huge, huge guitar sound. Liam is a rock star, every other band in the world knows it. Metallica absolutely love them. And you will too soon.

You know what the craziest thing is? If they brought muse back again I would be happier to watch another epic performance by them than to watch a band like panic at the disco at cokefest (esp. Golden Circle). Oasis is a band that I think all non-metalheads will enjoy, no matter how old you are. I would love to see another heavy band to rock it out on stage alongside bullet (whom I think will have an awesome stage presence). I think the biggest problem for this lineup is that they have catered for the female fans, not the male fans.

Remember last year, when respectable bands such as Muse, Chris Cornell and Kaiser Chiefs came that catered to the wimpy and the metal loving, the teen punk purists and sophisticated music aficionados?

Compare to this year, when the South African bands by themselves (not even put together)are better than each and every one of the girly (obviously not every girl likes them, but their music is really more stereotypically enjoyed by women), sickeningly, talentlessly emo or Britpop(two genres which are unlikely to please anyone but fans exclusively of that genre – which there aren’t many of) internationals.

i understand that, most of my female friends listen to metal, i was saying from a general standpoint, its not only metalheads that go to cokefest. personally i love heavier music, and from what i can gather, the people that anticipate the event the most and evidently check the blogs and news the most are fans of heavier music. The thing I don’t understand is… why did they even bother asking us to vote in polls etc about who we’d like to see at cokefest? because it didn’t seem to matter too much. if majority ruled due to a voting system and these were the bands that came up in the end then i would not complain and none of the other cokefest fans would have any grouds to either

Tip for the future: at least attempt to bring in bands that’ll appeal to everyone, the people with precise, intelligent tastes in music and the unsophisticated rock purists, like Muse was – very rock, yet still drawing from classical influences and the like. Examples:
System of a Down (granted they aren’t together, but it’s a good example)
Kings of Leon
White Stripes
Arctic Monkeys
etc.

Oasis to play their first-ever gigs in South Africa
Always keen to explore new countries and venues Oasis will be playing their first-ever gigs in South Africa this April. Their inaugural dates will be:

10th April, 2009 – Newmarket Racecourse, Johannesburg
13th April, 2009 – Cape Town Ostrich Farm, Cape Town
Both dates are part of the Coca Cola Zero Fest, which they are headlining.

The tickets go on sale from 9am (local time) on Friday 23rd January from Computicket and 083 915 8000.
The gigs are part of their largest-ever World Tour which so far has seen them play Canada, United States, UK, Mexico and Western Europe. The tour will also be taking them to the far east including dates in Japan, China and South Korea.

just found this on their site… so if u guys are hoping for any bigger bands, ur gna be disappointed… Oasis is headlining! hahahahaha

Oasis may be the headliner, but there is a chance that Big Concerts have missed the boat so badly that there may be some truly epic bands that are seen as too “small” or “alternative” to be headliners. Maybe some-one like tool could still creep in.

I’ve been going to The Doors and Zeplins for over eight years, and the problem with this whole Slipknot Lamb of god crap every one is on about is IT IS JUST AS REPITITIVE AS THE CLUBS.

The clubs are NOT the BEGINNING and END of this fest, so don’t be as narrow minded as their patrons!

Can anyone remember how Mindblowing Muse’s live show was? And although Chris Cornell was all sing along songs, he was brilliant anyway? I don’t like 30 sec 2 mars but the crowed’s energy was so strong. I also prefferred drinking Beer in the sun two years ago while Staind was playing rather than watch that sissy band! But I had a FAB time and I pd my R600 with a smile.

But the point is: These guys are coming to SA. THEYARE ACTUALLY COMING, and mature music fans will support and APPRECIATE all the bands at a live fest.

Thanx 5FM! 2009 Coke Fest is going to be Awesome!!

Everyone else relax, cause these sorry JHB-metal-club-supporters will only support a fest when the band is wearing a mask and the chorus can only be understood after the words have been googled. And unfortunately they have access to the internet and really good typing skills (as seen above).

Personally I can’t wait to see you all ducking in disgust when the majority of Jozi is singing along to Snow Patrol!! Bring your own masks buds, you can entertain each other by the porta potties!!

Lara | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Lana-ice no point in faith, Some limey dillwillies are headlining, so why waste R600 on this trash. I’d pay that for Bullet alone, but not to fund the rest of these fukwods.

Tool is a pipe dream, they will never play here, EVER…we have to either fly overseas to watch them…or win an Euro lottery and spend the lot on bring them out.

We have already biult a non-metal association to our country. I don’t care. We need to biuld our metal image. after all we have more ZA metal bands than any other genre.

Remo (also a metal head, with long hair to) | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
@ xeyne, ages ago.

The idea of genre fests is really incredible. It’s really awful knowing, whilst watching th bands roll in for Coke Fest, that some of your favourite bands have absolutely below 0 chance of ever being asked because they won’t please Good Charlotte fans. Imagine we had a rap fest, and an elctro fest, and an altern rock fest and the like. It’d be incredible. They have them all over the world, why not here?

I’d probably pay anything for an electro fest with a really class lineup, and I’m sure bands are reasonably cheap due to them not having to take much instruments. Imagine Goldfish opening for the likes of Justice, Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Hot Chip, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Infected Mushroom, Simian Mobile Disco… the list is endless. Whereas I think the list of good possible bands that would please Good Charlotte fans are limited to the previous couple I’ve said and about 5-ish more.

I like many others are gonna be left with a dilemma. I’ve been going every year, love music, and love having the opportunity to see int bands. Tho if those are the only int bands we get to see this year its gonna be a struggle to fork out 600. Sure bullet are awesome and I have some affection for oasis that’s purely nostalgia, but for real music lovers that may not be enough.

I sincerely hope there’s more quality. At least bands we can appreciate if they not our favorites. Snow patrol and panic at the disco in particular are just the latest regurgitation of hyped up gay crap.

Sancho | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
I think the major problem is that we need a headliner, every festival has one and all previous cokefests have, so why should this be any different. Oasis is a classic band but I can’t see them headlining a festival at this stage in their careers.

Don’t talk about skipping yet. The other 2 bands could still be really good… though if they’re bad as this lot, this’ll be the first year I skip as well… and I went to freakin’ Evanescence-fest purely because I wasn’t entirely averse to Guns n Roses even though I’m not exactly a fan (it goes without saying what happened next)…

I don’t remember anything about the fest except for spending inordiante amounts on liquor in the first hour, then maintaining that state throughout the fest. Must have spent like 250 bucks on booze. This year, it’s the same – I don’t think Oasis are the worst band in the world at all, even though they’re pretty bad, and it’ll still be an experience to see em, so with this lineup I may have considered going… if it wasn’t Passover. Expletives at Big Concerts removed.

WTF is up with that Poll? Which band are you most looking forward to…why isn’t Bullet there and why isn’t there a F*CKING NONE OF THEM option?

Dracolusus | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
This of the Coke Zero site:

Q Magazine called them “the best British metal band to emerge in years”. Their 2006 debut album, The Poison, sold more than one-million copies worldwide and was judged to be “one of the finest debut albums in rock history” by London’s daily, The Sun. The Welsh metal-core band Bullet For My Valentine has taken over the world, playing the main stage at just about every rock festival on the planet on massive U.K., European, U.S. and worldwide tours, sharing the stage with legends such as Guns N Roses, Metallica, Iron Maiden and now Oasis.

Had a good chuckle about the last line Only 5fm can get that pulled off.

The Majority of us are clear on the fact that Oasis should NOT be in the lineup, headlining or otherwise. Maybe 1000 people want to see them, but I’m sorry, they are gay, and haven’t released a decent song since their first album, what, 13 years ago?

So please can we actually get some co-ordination here and make a mass complain to 5FM and Big Cun(cer)t? Leave the other 2 GAAAY bands, thats fine, just please remove Oasis.

I agree that a few harder bands would be great and now BFMV is added so everyone can stop whinning, but lets not forget that Oasis did sell out Knebworth faster and more tickets than Pink Floyd and Robbie Williams and were one of the biggest selling bands in the history of music. Good music is good music no matter when it was made! If you think they are too old then you probably have to get your parents to drop you off and get older people to buy you beer. stay home and do you homework and watch disney channel. And please TOOL will never do a festival – its below them.

Guys, you obviously dont get it – just like someone said: this is not My Death/Metal Fest… and Im sure as hell certain that Coke and 5FM wont be laying out a sh!t load of money for a handful of metalheads only.

They have always tried to get a variety of rock bands to play at the Fest. Why should this year be different? Cos a bunch of newbies to the metal scene have voted for underachieving bands who more than 90% of SA havent even heard of?

I think not!

Why not start a fest to cater for yourselves then? Ozzfest in the US comes to mind. Just make sure Manson headlines the first one! I’ll be first in line to buy a ticket ;o)

Hi There

I find it confusing that all these bands are chosen for a festival that has been showcasting harder rock before.

The first one was absolutely amazing! why not bring other bands that fits into the same category as Metallica. Bands who are legends and have been around for a while (I know, i know – Oasis is a well established INDIE BAND – not hard rock or metal though) and I know they can’t cater for everybodys needs but HELL why BFMV – i like them but I dont think they would have been the appropriate metal/hard rock band to bring here. BFMV would defnitely not satisfy the metalheads down here. Come on, DEvildriver and Nile was cancelled – we want to see some good bands here for a change.

Bands that would have been amazing:
IRON MAIDEN – a friend of mine saw them and its one of the bands that you would want ot see before you (or they) die.
SLIPKNOT – even after all the crap that has been said about them, i think they would have been more appealing
SYSTEM OF A DOWN – thats if they are still together, brilliant and unique band
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS – honestly, not a big fan but once again a well established band

The list can go on and on. Personally I am into death and thrash metal, Sepultura, Slayer and Cannibal Corpse, but i do realise that these bands are too hardcore for COKE.

I understand that you cannot keep everyone happy, but at least take the public’s opinion into consideration. Have one great band for each of the following genres:
METAL
INDIE
ROCK

Cokefest originally was supposed to be a rock fest – not a POP fest. Hopefully the rest of the line up won’t dissappoint. If yes, then you won’t be seeing me at COKEFEST this year.

This is my opinion – disagree if you want but with valid explanation.

It did well everywhere

AND they sold 800,000 tickets for the UK in 5 hours – in 2005 they played to over 2 million people worldwide

Madison Sq Garden in USA sold out in 20 mins!
Sold out across ASIA and Western Europe!

I dont know the ages but why rule them out if you have never seen them

I have checked clips on youtube and they look amazing

Its not all about moshing – a good sing along is great as well

Oasis songs are contaigious and they can rock!

Check youtube – their latest single was called The Shock of the Lightning and it was proper quality

BFMV are just noise – i’m glad its a mixed bill and Oasis deserve to headline

Big concerts: I know it’s all about the prefered music of the masses, but clearly you can see you are in the wrong direction. If the people voted for certain bands and they are too expensive or unavailable, at least try for something in the same genre.

I’ll give this one a skip. To make this fest a success, get Nicholas Louw and steve hofmeier! International: Boney M and Bee Gees.

Its because people have shocking taste

Its a rock festival not mosh/noise/metal only

Clearly people who think Oasis are not rock are thinking about a handful of songs like Wonderwall

But try Aquiesce, Rock n Roll Star, Shock of the lightning, Champagne Supernova, Cigarettes and Alohol and Waiting for the Rapture for example

They are a mix of rock n roll and alternative but rock is DIVERSE

not all bands do the Metallica style (which i cant stand)

Panic at the Disco are pop – rubbish pretending to be rock

Snow Patrol = poor version of Colplay so not much to say there

People might learn about quality music if they listen/see Oasis

Bring them on

Perhaps they will promote their new LP near to the gigs?

I am not sure

But people know wo they are

Everyone knows at least one song by them – not sure for the other acts

I admit -its a surprise announcement but if you say its going to be rubbish without giving it a chance then yes it will be

Try and check a few songs and think – hey at least i can tick them off the ‘Bands i have seen’ list

If Oasis can sell out South Korea national stadium i’m sure there are some fans lurking about here – enough Brits/europeans here to know who they are!

You will all be surprised! – this is a dream come true

last year was good- this is crap

Dissapointed | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Firstly, thanks to the organisers, we actually get to see international bands.
Secondly, 5fm seriously play mostly pop, kwaito, rnb, hip-hop, rap, they play sh!t when most of there listeners want to hear rock / alternative (as per the one poll they did)
Coke & 5Fm could be doing a fest where they bring in Akon, Rihanna, Britney & the rest of all the crappy dudes we are forced to listen to.
I’m happy with the line up, it’s a day out!I haven’t missed one coke fest yet & if all goes well, I wont miss any of the future ones either…….
But I do still hope that the final band announced is really cool, would be sweet!

The line up sucks. As someone said earlier…. don’t post a teaser which has a similar vibe to the previous Coke Fests and then announce a line up like this. They then just shouldn’t bother with asking us to vote for bands if this doesn’t count for anything. Hope more decent bands are going to be announced as this is the only way that this year’s Coke Fest might be saved. There has to be a variety as in previous years. I also hope this doesn’t cause that there will be no Coke Fest next year! Come on guys… I am sure the organisers can see from all the blogs that they are not really going to be selling any tickets with this line up.

Michelle | Jan 21, 2009 | Reply
Hahahaha…Disappointed, you just gave away your age!
I’m with the what I can tell about 90% of posters who agree this line up is shocking. I’m no metalhead and about 14 years ago I LOVED Oasis. I don’t mind listening to any of these bands on a cd but to watch LIVE?? Not a chance it this worth the ticket. I would pay that just to watch Muse and Korn again on their one. SERIOUSLY Big Concerts & 5FM?? Whatever drugs you’re all o,be sure to share with whoever attends the Coke-Fest this year. At least they’ll be under the illusion that they had a good time!

The line up certainly is not as good as previous years, but still – OASIS!!
People, Oasis is one of the best and experienced bands ever (yes, old…but isn’t Metallica old too? Or do they get special treatment cos you can headbang to them?)

….and Panic might be stereotyped as Emo – but have any of you heard their new stuff? Pretty awesome shit, guys…and definitely not emo O_o

P.S. Oh yeah, since the world is in a recession and all that, don’t you think we should thank the organisers for the bands that we could actually afford?

I think we should put personal tastes aside and judge objectively whether it is a quality lineup. I think it fails, not because of Oasis (who i dont even wanna see), who objectively are a big coup for the lineup as they are still selling out arenas on tours currently, and not because of bullet for my valentine, who have recently featured on european festival circuits and so again maintain relevance, but because of snow patrol who usually are mid-morning or mid-day slot fillers at european festivals but here one of the headliners, and panic at the disco who are a second-tier band that deserves slots at one of the more numerous low key american or european festivals but not here which is a high profile, one of a kind (until virgin was announced) festival that is a milestone on the s.a. live entertainment calender.

Bring on the “you’re gay” and “your mom” and Oasis sucks (posted for the 1000th time) comments…

what about them, this is absolutely bullshit with a lineup like this they should cancel the show all together.
south africa will hold a new world record for the smallest attendence to a rock concert EVER!!!!!!!!!
with this lineup it will turn into one big guy orgy and those bands will probably join in.

I get it that Coke Fest is a rock festival, and I’m sure that Oasis don’t really belong in the heavy group, but its gonna be so sweet to finally see the guys live. They not everyone’s cup of tea, but I dig their music, so I will be getting my tickets.

@ Saklib Khan I was away since I was having dinner and left work etc…but I’;ve read your posts and this is what I have to reply.

You say that Tool, etc is shit…then you have NEVER EVER heard Tool, so please STFU. You say BFMV is just noise, then you clearly have not f*cking taste, again, STFU.

And for all your defence of Oasis, you cum rag of a douche. Oasis were, WERE good, I used to listen to them, when I was 13..yeah, that was 13 YEARS AGO you floppy dildo. They have not since released anything that resembles a decent album. Yes, there was an earlier poster that works at a CD store and they claim that the new album is not selling for shit. I bet that BFMV out sold Oasis 2:1 and Slipknot 3:1 compared to those dried up, cock juggling thunder c*nts.

So in closing, would all you wankers please STFU, rent a coldplay/Oasis/Blur/Snowpatrol DVD and beat yourselves raw while sucking on your mumma’s tits.

look guys i have a massive, mature music taste. Brit-pop bands like blur and oasis are not that bad at all. I am really happy to see oasis. However i am also a big metal fan, i love thrash bands like slayer, megadeth, metallica, anthrax, sepultura etc. not fake shit Metal like slipknot.

As for panic at the disco that is just a disgrace. Snow patrol are just too commercial. Snow Patrol are a lame wannabe of Coldplay who are a lame wannabe of Radiohead. Its the heicrchy of british alt-rock.

This festival needs one of the following bands:

-Radiohead
-Iron Maiden
-Slayer
-Megadeth
-AC/DC
-Smashing Pumpkins
-Arcade Fire
-Queens of the Stone Age
-White Stripes

Il give the lineup a C. Bullet may be quite a good live act.

im pretty sure there will be atleast 2 more bands anounced,awsome ones.someone said 2 weeks from now?

whoever is in charge of the marketing should be shot.you are not creating hype.you are making people angry.

From a marketing point of view,wouldnt be clever to announce the other 2 awsome( lets hope they are) bands the day tickets go on sale?

would make alot more sense than waiting another 2 weeks.some people have spent half their salary by then or decided to go to splashy (which is on the same weekend instead).

lets hope they announce the other 2 bands by Friday latest.

Coke ‘zero’ fest? Thats a clever plan to shift all the coke zero they manufactured and didn’t sell before the expiry date. I mean why not sell it off to a bunch of concert goers who will buy and drink anything they can find once the other drinks have run out. So coca cola what are you going to be overstocked on and name the concert next year? Can we expect a ‘coca cola lemon light fest’? The bands aren’t bad but honestly the only band on it that has a big enough following in SA to sell any tickets is BFMV. Also, who’s genius idea was it to even consider having those bands on the same line up?

What the hell happened to Big Concerts PR and the 2 bands we would be pleasantly surprised about by this evening.

All they have announced is the 2 crap acts that everyone knew about yesterday.

So in total all they have done is announced 1 extra band to appease the angry fans of decent music. The same music that has built up a fan base for this festval over the last 3 years.

Now they have opened the ticket purchases a day early without releasing the full lineup. Which means that we have to get tickets in the hope that there will be a decent headliner announced in the future.

I seems to be a ploy to get us to buy tickets without seeing the finshed lineup.

The only reason to do this is having no faith that the final lineup is not good enough.

Stop playing us for dumb and tell us the full lineup.

None of the other international big festivals drag out announcements like this. They release the lineup as tickets go on sale so fans can make a judgement and buy tickets if they want.

I got an e-mail from the Coke Fest stating that this is the final line-up. Therefore I will not be writing on this site anymore.

To Big Concerts PR person – this is probably the worst line-up that I have seen since the existence of the Coke Fest. Shame on you, Coke & 5FM. Shame on all of you for this pathetic line-up

I will not be going this year, and hopefully not alot of people will go, so that they realise that they must listen to the people prior to getting the acts (and use their bloody common sence). Anyway, cheers people and for those that are going…hope u enjoy it.

I was listening to 5fm last night in hope that they would announce more bands but they said that thats definately the full line up. There is no way in hell that I am going to pay the same price as I did last year for far fewer bands. How on earth are they going to have the twelve hour fest they are advertising with only six bands or are their sets going to be longer? And to everyone asking for breaking benjamin stop it, they dont tour outside the US.

And only 2 local bands? That’s rediculous! Don’t tell me there are no local bands available! I know lots of bands who would give anything to perform at a show like this!

Evolver is one of them! They are an AWESOME band and would defnitely rock this show! And what about One Day remains?

Come op people, do something to make this worth our while! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

Wow, I’m seriously disappointed. Everyone knows that in the Teaser Video it features snippets of Linkin Park- yet nothing. I agree with everyone that Oasis is way past their sellby date.

Unfortunately on their official website it states that they are headlining the Fest. On a hopeful note, Linkin Park have not yet released their tour schedule for 2009, so there may be hope yet. The lineup is seriously lacking and resembles the strength of the rightfully cancelled VFEST last year.

Please can anyone help – I recall them also announcing some bands later than others last year? They informed us of two bands late didn’t they?

And they clearly state that there are more bands to follow, on the website and on the email.

I actually think, and I’m just suspecting, the last two bands will be heavier. Plus, the reason why they are holding back on their names is because those bands are the main acts, and will probably bring the main attention to Coke Fest.

I say, right now we should relax, so things are not looking AWESOME for most out there, and I respect all you metal heads comments, but can it really be that bad?

I actually have not bought any of the cd’s of any of the bands playing, but I think it would be a great show and to see them live is going to be great.

I do however hope for some more ‘ROCKING’ bands to follow…

What’s with the “soft bands” – What’s next? The Jonas Brothers – our own Camp Rock. Where’s Link Park, Green Day, Chili Pips, System of a Down or even Chad Kruger and the Boys. Bought tickets for that concert 3 years ago and then the concert was cancelled. Unless some serious hard rock bands are announced, I will sit at home and watch Egoli.

ok seriously… i always shunned the free hugging business of the clad skinny jean society, but im offering free hugs man… in fact, i need a hug! but hey, lets think of this logically, slipknot – beyond insane!! therefore why come to SA where the tickets are cheap, according to them… and then we go all the way down the chain . . . . . to bullet – and you say, you know wat world, you got me corned again… im gonna go roll another joint…

I think for a local band Big Concerts and 5FM should get Dear Martyr as one of the local acts, if you haven’t heard them, search for them on facebook

ayb_bleek | Jan 22, 2009 | Reply
if u want metal, go to doors or Zeepplins.. let some of the other music interests be satisfied.
You freaks.
I reckon not a half bad line up for a start, panic are great, and for people who are dum as sh1t, probably the most exspensive band ever to come to SA.
Snow patrol rock…

maybe they should just add Cassette to the local band line up…

On the local side I would love to see aKing!!!! Evolver is good too!!! I like the two local bands announced-Dirty Skirts are awesome live!!! Zebra’s good on CD-but will ‘they’ be good live? We have so many amazing local bands-I hope the rest of the local line-up will do us proud!!!!

Line up’s dissapointing most of us, and more so, it did not appear on the voting list. Okay, instead of ppl bitching, lets not book tickets until all the bands are announced, and if the rest is crap bands we wont be wasting our time and money.
The concert will then only be for ppl who think they know rock(about 10 of them)5FM & BC staff.

Id just like to say, all the previous coke fests, i did not attend because of the line up. To all the freaks sitting at home with your black hair and 20 piercings and 10 tatoos, bitching about the lineup. dont you think its time to give the normal people a chance for one year. I would like to go this year. I think its going to be good.

Chris | Jan 22, 2009 | Reply
Guys common the line up is not that bad!! OASIS ROCKS!!! and so does BULLET!!! The have to accomodate for everyone!! You wont love all the bands every year!! I love metal but remember its not called a metal fest its called a rock fest!! and on top of it all it keeps the emos at bay and thats what most of us want!!! Im just disappointed that there are so few bands… WHATS UP WITH THAT??? Last year we had 7 international bands and 4 local bands now we have 4 international and 2 local??? that is a big disappointment!!

Keshia | Jan 22, 2009 | Reply
One thing is for sure. The people that went for the last 3 years wont spend that type of loot for that line-up and golden circle aint gonna go like hotcakes.

The problem is the people that organise these events. They have no knowledge of music whatsoever. They do not go overseas and go watch bands live. If they did this they would know that those 4 bands live suck ass. Oasis are has beens. They were big 10 years ago. the brothers wanted to kill each other and its a pity they didn’t. As for the other 3 bands. ish thats all i have to say. Korn , chris cornell and Muse are on antoher level not to mention metallica, Seether and collective soul. Missed the other one cause without GNR the 600 bucks just aint worth it.

Go back to the roots of coke fest ffs!

Jakkals | Jan 22, 2009 | Reply
@Keshia thats the biggest problem, if they had to announce another 2 international bands and another 4 local bands we would have a fest worth the price of the ticket

@Big Concerts PR

Hey Big Concerts guy, what is the story? Their is a wealth of negative publicity here? As per your quote yesterday:
“Listen closly to the other big names and be assured we’ve catered for everyone
Oasis was one of the Top 7 bands voted for and our No.1 is yet to follow.
You’ll be pleasantly suprised at the two bands to be announced by the evening.”

I really don’t believe that Oasis were number 7 and secondly when can we expect the final line-up?

@jakkals, you uneducated dickface! Are you in the music industry? Have you seen Oasis live you dickface. Christ even Metallica rate them live! You carry on listening to music with blinkers on. Like the majority of rock delinquents on this site

Guys ive been to every single cokefest, and i plan on going this year, even if it is just for the exsperience and to get drunk.

I have to say the line up is dissapointing so far,but i honestly dont believe its the full line up, i mean six band cant play for 12 hours.

I think 2 more sa bands will be announced and one of them will probably be aking or prime circle and then one more international band that will either be coldplay, foofighters or linkinpark.

PErsonally im angry bechause weve waited a year for the line up just for them to keep us in the dark for a little bit longer, but seriesly i dont think they will dissapoint us like this, i mean cokefest has done alot for music in sa and if they do take us for a monkey then screw them.

I just want to ask the bigconcert admin dude that said yesterday there`s 12 more big band surprises just to give us some clarity coz where dying here, is there more international bands or not?

I’m just a bit confused…Coke zero marketed themselves to an audiance that was into adventure, metal, flames, snakes, action and whole bunch of other hard core elements, then they come up with line up like this..its ok..but its not at all what you would expect from the metal teaser that was released or from the brand name that Zero is trying to create. Barring bullet, this should be a Fanta show.

I heard the london philarmonic are coming, I have some bad news as well, I forgot to pick up milk last night, so I couldn’t have cornflakes this morning, which sucks.
I like Oasis, they’re last album was actually very good, I would also give my left nut if machine head could be on the bill. Hear that Rob? My left nut!
Pearl Jam would be cool as well, they’re set at the leeds carling fest in 06 was amazing, and eddie vedder is a genius.
Maybe Amon Amarth? The Killers perhaps? I suppose the pondering will continue untill they actually announce the final line-up, so people, can’t we just respect each others tastes, music is meant to bring people together…

Where’s the rock in this fest or has ZERO taken the ROCK out of ROLL here? This is a major music event on all music lover’s calendars (65,000 people last year).

Besides i hated the line up for the failed guns and roses one, but we still enjoyed ourselves didnt we evert…..the goblet of Rock.

So to all the chino wearing collar popping jocks, get off your high horses and actually try and LISTEN to metal before dismissing it, it’s much more complex than you could ever know.
And then to my metal bretheren, you should know that metal, and music is about individuality, so keep on throwing the horns, but if someone doesn’t agree with you, so what, let them be, as long as you’re true to yourself.

totally agree with you D

And i am totally justified in saying what ive said.. i mean i love heavy music. I woulda loved to see As I Lay Dying on the bill or even bands like system. There is some really talented heavy music out there.. i just HATE people that refuse to listen to anything else and if their coke fest isnt full to the brim with growling vocals and double kick then they think its too soft.

I love oasis, they make unbelievable music. Anybody else that says they suck purely because they’re more acoustic rock driven with clean vocals is a total douche.

Pascalle my point exactly. stop bashing the organizers. trust me they had a huge list they approached but there are loads of of variables too.

It is simple. You like you go, You dont then stay home.

It is gona rock regardless. I dont really like oasis but I will still watch them… they have been around this long for a reason so I wana see why.

By the way…. you never know what is still to come. 9 out of 10 they are negotiating with your fav metal band who doesnt wana play here. just now they have arranged one of your fav bands and cancel them cause they see how ugly and unappreciative you all are…. I know I would

I’m doign this for the pure fun of it, and I bet most of the metal heads are too…we got nothing left to look forward to.

I know it sounds like I’m dis’ing Oasis, but its all in jest. I do like them, I just think that they are weak and don’t have enough energy for the headliners. Take Foo’s, they are soft enough for you pussy whipped douche bags that think metal is the devils music and pure screaming and noise etc etc, yet they would be ALIVE ond ROCKING on stage and still be acceptable enough to draw HUGE crowds and keep the sheep and discerning music lovers happy.

Dave, you say “And i am totally justified in saying what ive said.. i mean i love heavy music. I woulda loved to see As I Lay Dying on the bill or even bands like system. There is some really talented heavy music out there.. i just HATE people that refuse to listen to anything else and if their coke fest isnt full to the brim with growling vocals and double kick then they think its too soft.”

WE DON’T WANT THE FEST FULL TO THE BRIM WITH METAL, ARTARD. What we want is at least one SOLID and established heavey act. Korn, Metallica etc. BFMV, while pretty cool, does not fit this description. Slipknot would be fuking ideal, but it just occurred to me that 5FM – being the commercial c*nts that they are – won’t go anywhere near them thanks to that sword-wielding doos. I say we go kill that guy.

Marion is talking sense. But think about the following. Why take so damn long to announce the bands: they are having trouble getting them. Why is there only one band worth seeing at the coke fest. Name more than 3 oasis songs? i cant, and maybe we will recognise the one or two songs played on radio from snow patrol. but overall, you pay to go see a show. Bullet provides a show. The rest makes music for your braai on a sunday evening. R600, is not worth seeing one band, and having to drive 600km, hurts. I would pay R600 to see last year’s line-up, not this one. Its like everyone said: pretty “gay”. might still c u guys there….if they make it worth it.

Personally I think coke, reading the numerous k@k comments freaked a bit and are trying a last minute desperation deal wiht a band they probably could have had earlier but were too cheap cause they thought the SA public will grovel at their feet no matter what crap they import….

I mean Oasis? WTF – yes a once great band, but lets face it – this is like a mid-life crisis tour…..

Coldplay…arguably the biggest band in the world today..yes

I don’t personally like them but – system, shit at least they have a young/festival going support group.

Oasis? fuk – you gonna be stuck with a bunch of people trying to remember when…..

And I mean Panic at the disco, and BFMV????? If you’re gonna experiment then strap a pear on!!!!! Get somebody like Boxer….

This line-up has a serious feel of: NO FUKING EFFORT to it…..

Brandon Flowers, frontman with The Killers, is such a fan of Oasis that he nearly got the band’s name as a tattoo.

“When I was 20 I debated getting an Oasis tattoo on either my arm or my back, but I couldn’t make a decision,” the Las Vegas rocker says.

It was also Oasis that convinced Flowers to form The Killers and pursue a career in music. “Listening to ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’, I was reborn. I was like, ‘That’s it, that’s what I want to do.’”

OASIS DUSSELDORF CONCERT POSTPONED – 19/1/09
19 January 2009

Oasis have been forced to postpone tonight’s sold out show at the Philipshalle in Dusseldorf on medical advice. Liam Gallagher who has had a sore throat for the past few shows was examined by a doctor this morning. The doctor has diagnosed an oedema on Liam’s vocal chords and has advised total rest for 48 hours.

The concert has been rescheduled for the 4th of February. All tickets will remain valid for the new date but ticket holders may apply for refunds from the point of ticket purchase.

Oasis are disappointed that they cannot continue with tonight’s show as planned and would like to apologise to their fans for the inconvenience.

Oasis returned to the road last night (January 22nd) in Amsterdam, just two days after singer Liam Gallagher was advised by doctors to rest his voice.

The band were forced to postpone a gig in Düsseldorf, Germany on Monday (January 19th) because the singer developed fluid on his vocal chords.

However, after resting his voice for 48 hours, Gallagher and the rest of Oasis performed to a sold out crowd at the Heineken Music Hall last last night.

Chris Martin of Coldplay

Is that a hint towards future plans?
Well, we tried to get Knebworth but it just wasn’t possible. So we’re having to think of something else. In fact, I think we have thought of something else. Hopefully we’ll be able to announce it soon. And hopefully it’s not the same day that Oasis have booked it.

It would be a great double bill. And we wouldn’t mind opening

By the way, could I go on record and state that Be Here Now is a great album?

Not even Noel Gallagher thinks that.
No, Noel doesn’t like it, but I do. I think it’s got great songs on it. I think My Big Mouth is one of Oasis’s best songs.

But that album is just too long.
Well that’s also known as X&Y syndrome. Every band gets it. But for anyone reading this, they should listen to the song My Big Mouth by Oasis, because it’s wonderful.

concerts coming this way (to RSA) were way better when the cigarette companies were involved.

to put out some fires and maybe add reasoning is that all we have to look foward to in this country is this 1 concert….maybe its the bands maybe its the organizers. but i guess its case of u cant plz every1. and if try to hard, u’ll end up plz no1.

theres like 1 decent band (obv just my opinion) every 2 – 5 years. last good solo acts were Live n Offspring.

And then u’ve got Coke fest. While is numerous bands, and EVERYONE is expecting their band.

Which leads to why so many ppl pissed. Whether or not certain groups were plzd in the passed, its a long fracking time to wait for a good (in ur opinion of it) band comes agen.

Unfortunately we have no ozzfest or reading or similar (specific type concerts), so EVERYONE has to now look forward to the only music festival, in the hopes that they get plz’d.

Ok so my constructive suggestion is maybe either have specific-types fests throughout the year, so ppl dont have 2 wait eons 2 b satisfied or maybe try and concentrate on having an acutal festival (ie an entire wknd of music ^_^)

You do make a good point Dracolusus… I must admit, but I still think they are going to rock, even if they only play their old stuff… But do agree that they aren’t flashy (for lack of a better word) enough for head liners… U2 would even be better and they’re even older. But you also have to consider that the headliner has to be fairly broad spectrum commercial otherwise the they could end up targeting too specific and audience, which also ends defeating the object of a music festival, which is supposed be for everyone…

They would NEVER play here unless they were headlining…they are more than arrogant, they are narcissism personified. Or the one is at least. Sell 50mil albums to sheep and you think you are bigger than Hey-Zeus.

You all need to relax. go take a shit, smoke a joint,whateva calms you down. hahahahahaha

yes there are more bands to be announced and yes 1 might just be a bit harder for all the metal heads crying like emos.

What you dont realise is that negotiating with bands takes time. there are variables like recording, money, world tours that prevent them from coming. Trust me coke is not short on cash…the bands have their reasons for also not wanting to come here…. some refuse to play on the same stage as others, some dont wana come to S.A. , some are too busy and many more reasons….

it is not hard to understand.

THERE ARE MORE BANDS TO BE ANNOUNCED OK!!!!!!!!!!

the only acts Oasis would be #2 on the bill to would be u2 and Paul McCartney

They deserve to headline as they are legends of the past, the present and the future

They are huge everywhere and have a back catalogue that few acts can challenge

Anyone know when the others are being announced, and if it’s deliberate that i’s being delayed so? Weren;t they supposed to be announced yesterday? Are they building suspense or dealing with contractual problems?

I’m not exactly expecting anything if it’s deliberate, based on last year when we built up for about 3 months, eagerly waiting for a brand new, exciting band to be announced, and it turned out to be the craptastic 30 Seconds to Mars. If it’s not deliberate, there’s still some chance of a double digit number of people attending.

It’s quite simple, guys…if Oasis is such an issue and they are in fact the Headliner band, just leave early! It just means you’ll have less traffic getting out and you don’t have to distract the ppl who love them Everyone wins!!!

Think about how much you pay for a normal concert… it’s about R300 for a Gen admission and the band plays for 1.5 hours if you’re lucky, so as long as there are 2 bands in the line-up that you like, it’s worth your while

::: HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL END SOME OF THE TANTRUMS AND WRIST SLITTING :::

Here’s the rundown of My Coke Fest favourites:

TOOL – Last toured in 2007. They are obviously taking a break…

LINKIN PARK – Currently recording a new album … bands don’t play festivals/gig/tour when recording new material.

RADIOHEAD – March 2009 tour dates are set for South America… chances are they have other dates instore for April. Who knows, maybe they’ll swing by after for a proper tour of SA?

SLIPKNOT – Ending their All Hope is Gone World Tour on March 11th, 2009 which they started in July 2008… maybe they need some R&R time?

Actual My Coke Fest line-up:

OASIS – Currently on their biggest world tour (5 continents) promoting their new #1 album…

SNOW PATROL – Touring from Feb 2009 to promote their new album…

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE – Starting their Australian tour tomorrow (23rd of Jan 2009), then Indonesia, SA, Belgium and Germany…

PANIC! AT THE DISCO – Releasing their new album in a couple months time …

Now, maybe you guys should consider these kind of facts when making comments here OR alternatively, when voting for bands to come to South Africa. Be clever and realistic!!!!

Hello,

I am Saklib Khan’s brother, Saklib the III

I am here to inform you that last night he downloaded 2 Bullet For My Valentine albums and listened to them for a while

This morning he did not come to breakfast

I checked his room and he had killed himself. He left a note saying

“that was a bullet for my valentine”

He shot himself in the foot but bled to death

This webpage was open so i thought i would notify his friends

RIP Saklib Khan II

stop your whining and get over it
it cant be the exact festival you want. if you want all your other lovely bands so badly then put your energy towards making money to see them in a country where they’re actually likely to play in. dont waste it ranting over here about how much you hate oasis, how gay you think panic are or how shit you think coke fest is. it’s really not worth it and you all really just sound like wankers. if you think its shit, please dont come. no one ever said it was a metal fest. believe it or not – rock does include indie and alternative rock. if you really call yourselves rock fans then be a little more open minded.
if you hate panic and snow patrol. fine, many people do. but oasis are great and they are classic, contrary to your very restricted tastes in music.
educate yourselves and stop whining. the line-ups not the end of the world and honestly, if they got oasis, coke fest have done pretty well for themselves.

all the people who are a bit grateful. good for you

Defintley Maybe 1994
Whats the Story Morning Glory – 1995
Be Here Now – 1997
The Masterplan – 1999
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants – 2000
Familiar to Millions – 2001
Heathen Chemistry – 2002
Dont Believe The Truth – 2005
Stop the Clocks – 2006
Dig Out Your Soul – 2008

so 15 years at the top for a band STILL relevant
Selling out gigs all over the world easy

REM = old
Metallica = old
u2, the rolling stones, the who

If Oasis are old then so are the Foo Fighters and Radiohead were around in 1993

blink 182’s ‘adam song’ got blamed for some kid’s suicide but they still toured afterwards.
if a person’s gonna interpret the music wrongly and do shit like that, it shouldnt prevent a band from doing what they’re meant to be doing – playing music and making their fans happy

jessie | Jan 22, 2009 | Reply
You cant have the same every year

If Oasis are a hit they would come back on their own tour and fill a stadium out just for the Oasis fans who can have a good singalong and appreciate the best band ever

They should make a Metal festival somewhere else

That would leave the normal people who like GOOD music for Coke Fest

wahahaha. In the name-your-lineup section, those retards Oasis got mentioned a grand total of four times. Even Dave Matthews got more votes than them. And Korn, who have already played here, got 3 times as many votes as panic at the disco.

i’ll leave you feeling disgusted. just for fun i’d like to say this – in spite of my defending of oasis i actually dont know their stuff too well. the band im most excited about is PANIC AT THE DISCO. seriously. i love them to bits. and to make it worse – at the same time, the music i LOVE even more is the lovely soft acoustic happy stuff like jack johnson and john mayer!

ahaha. sorry had to be said cos many people here (not you guys, im just saying) seem to be so intolerant of other people’s tastes in music.

There is something very wrong with this picture.

To the directors of 5FM, I believe I speak on behalf of the vast majority (i love democracy) when I say that this is bullshit. What made you go ahead and try and book Oasis in the first place? It certainly wasn’t our votes.

Lets change the subject slightly…..

what other sa bands should play?I have a real issue with the way they choose sa bands.

They normally give it to one record/band management company and only let their bands play.

eg,2006 sa band lineup: PRIME CIRCLE ,THE FINKELSTIENS,THE PARLOTONES .all these bands were/are managed by the same company,Sovereign entertainment.same in 2007,same in 2008.all sovereign bands.

what a load of crap!This event should be used to promote all signed/unsigned good sa bands,from all genre’s,not just from one f#$%^ label.

If I had my way,I would make this fest a 3 day camping festival,with the first 2 days being local acts and the 3rd with the biggest local and international artists.what a party that would be! It would also give the locals a good chance to play on the big stage and maybe even be seen by the othersees bands and their touring party/management.sa bands from all genres!

in no particular order and across all genres,bands past and present:

Chromium,Knave,Aking,the dead will tell,nemesis army,Albert Frost,ATFN,isochronus,the narrow,Josie field,Harris tweed,Leek and the bouncing uptones,soil7T7,fruit fly navigators,Pestroy,Max normal,Lark etc etc…

there are many great sa bands out there!We need to promote our local bands much smarter and much better.we have the talent!

Imagine how awsome a 3 day fest would be?It would get alot more media coverage and interest,and you would defnitley have more people.

Anyone else feel the same?

I’m not paying R600 for local bands, so I don’t care…the next to bands better be 2 aces up their sleeves, like say linkin park or slipknot or something hard…coz otherwise no one is going to go…

I can’t believe no body has realized this.
These are all the band’s that have played the v festivals. except BFMV

I found it strange that they where using the ostrich farm in Cape Town and then I realized that’s where vfest was meant to have happened last year.
Of course 5fm and Big concerts have to fulfill their contractual obligations that where signed when vfest was cancelled last year. so now we have to put up with this rubbish.

If you want to go 90’s stick with bands like pearl jam not brit pop crap. or better yet NIN

Chefcam | Jan 23, 2009 | Reply
I actually like the line-up so far!!! It’s very diverse but so what? Isn’t South Africa a diverse nation!!! Besides does anyone here personally know anyone from Bullet- well I didn’t think so!!! How do you know that they don’t actually like the bands that they’re playing with (so many people saying “How does BFMV fit in with this crappy line-up”). I happen to like Oasis, granted I don’t know anything post 2000, but I’m sure they will be a great live act!!!! Besides if you speak to people that have seen them live they all give them a big thumbs up!!! I don’t really know Bullet for My Valentine and it does not matter either!!! I’ll go and see for myself and then judge when it’s all over!! If they good I’ll give them props-even if it’s not my style!!!

People have different opinions (including our taste in music)-that’s what makes us all individuals!!!! It’s no use ranting and raving over the internet about ‘Metal heads’ or whatever else is going on!!!! Just accept it!! Nobody is forcing you to go to the concert or listen to music that you don’t want to!!! But at least accept that there are people that do actually want to go to the concert and see for themselves!!!

@RockFan… thank you for your valued opinion. We truly appreciate being called idiots. if you think, for a moment, that you are not a mere concert attendee and are the organisers, you may find it more lucritive to spread the “well-loved” bands over more than one year. I understand economics is maybe not your interest, but please concider that some of us have thought beyond our own personal wants to those of the rest of the country…

Marion | Jan 23, 2009 | Reply
Um Rock Fan…. the bands voted for were put up there by us not the organisers and secondly if you actually knew what all the variables are that influenced the negotiations with these bands you would be releasing your anger on the bands you wanted perhaps.

Not all your hardcore acts wana come here, some are on tou or in studio, some are too demandig and some refuse to play on stages with certain other bands… so much you dont think of when bitching at the wrong people

You guys are the minority. MOST people dont like metal and actually listen to music that can be played on national radio.

Kevin Pietersen on January 22nd, 2009 2:51 pm Chris Martin of Coldplay

Is that a hint towards future plans?
Well, we tried to get Knebworth but it just wasn’t possible. So we’re having to think of something else. In fact, I think we have thought of something else. Hopefully we’ll be able to announce it soon. And hopefully it’s not the same day that Oasis have booked it.

It would be a great double bill. And we wouldn’t mind opening

By the way, could I go on record and state that Be Here Now is a great album?

Not even Noel Gallagher thinks that.
No, Noel doesn’t like it, but I do. I think it’s got great songs on it. I think My Big Mouth is one of Oasis’s best songs.

But that album is just too long.
Well that’s also known as X&Y syndrome. Every band gets it. But for anyone reading this, they should listen to the song My Big Mouth by Oasis, because it’s wonderful.

Wolfsbane on January 22nd, 2009 2:52 pm The world of panzies, i agree, oasis is the king of panzies! After the last few coke rock shows, with metallica, hoobastank, muse, 30 sec, chris cornell, etc. this one is weak.

xeyne on January 22nd, 2009 3:02 pm concerts coming this way (to RSA) were way better when the cigarette companies were involved.

to put out some fires and maybe add reasoning is that all we have to look foward to in this country is this 1 concert….maybe its the bands maybe its the organizers. but i guess its case of u cant plz every1. and if try to hard, u’ll end up plz no1.

theres like 1 decent band (obv just my opinion) every 2 – 5 years. last good solo acts were Live n Offspring.

And then u’ve got Coke fest. While is numerous bands, and EVERYONE is expecting their band.

Which leads to why so many ppl pissed. Whether or not certain groups were plzd in the passed, its a long fracking time to wait for a good (in ur opinion of it) band comes agen.

Unfortunately we have no ozzfest or reading or similar (specific type concerts), so EVERYONE has to now look forward to the only music festival, in the hopes that they get plz’d.

Ok so my constructive suggestion is maybe either have specific-types fests throughout the year, so ppl dont have 2 wait eons 2 b satisfied or maybe try and concentrate on having an acutal festival (ie an entire wknd of music ^_^)

Pascalle on January 22nd, 2009 3:02 pm Truth: None of us have anything better to do that’s why we’re all on this site…

Anyway… doesn’t matter

Pascalle on January 22nd, 2009 3:18 pm You do make a good point Dracolusus… I must admit, but I still think they are going to rock, even if they only play their old stuff… But do agree that they aren’t flashy (for lack of a better word) enough for head liners… U2 would even be better and they’re even older. But you also have to consider that the headliner has to be fairly broad spectrum commercial otherwise the they could end up targeting too specific and audience, which also ends defeating the object of a music festival, which is supposed be for everyone…

As long as you all keep argueing I am in heaven, this sh@t is entertaining.

I really do think the next announcement is gonna blow us all away. And we are GUARANTEED more bands, SA bands and International Bands.

And I think the Fest will be worth your money at the end of the day, to those who think it won’t.

Yes they were, Korn was also announced late.

Dracolusus on January 22nd, 2009 3:34 pm So Oasis announcing they are headlining, is that just a rouse to get the self centered prats to come and they get scooted to the back of the list?

Pascalle on January 22nd, 2009 3:36 pm Ja that is weird, I know that Gallaghers are pretty arrogant, I don’t know if they would lie like that on their website…. ?

R&C on January 22nd, 2009 3:37 pm With this line-up, the venue shoulda been at an old-age home!!!

Neenz0r on January 22nd, 2009 3:38 pm organisers hopefully lied to the Gallagher brothers….i have very high hopes for that to be truth….

Marion on January 22nd, 2009 3:38 pm Hee hee… you guys are probably going to stone me, but Korn was just about the only band last year I wasn’t keen on seeing… wait, a sec before you start throwing… reason being: I really didn’t wanna get jumped on by some 200km drunkard

Kevin Pietersen on January 22nd, 2009 3:38 pm SA v AUS ODI in Port Liz on the 13th of April

Pascalle on January 22nd, 2009 3:38 pm lol…

Dracolusus on January 22nd, 2009 3:39 pm They would NEVER play here unless they were headlining…they are more than arrogant, they are narcissism personified. Or the one is at least. Sell 50mil albums to sheep and you think you are bigger than Hey-Zeus.

D on January 22nd, 2009 3:40 pm You all need to relax. go take a shit, smoke a joint,whateva calms you down. hahahahahaha

yes there are more bands to be announced and yes 1 might just be a bit harder for all the metal heads crying like emos.

What you dont realise is that negotiating with bands takes time. there are variables like recording, money, world tours that prevent them from coming. Trust me coke is not short on cash…the bands have their reasons for also not wanting to come here…. some refuse to play on the same stage as others, some dont wana come to S.A. , some are too busy and many more reasons….

it is not hard to understand.

THERE ARE MORE BANDS TO BE ANNOUNCED OK!!!!!!!!!!

Pascalle on January 22nd, 2009 3:40 pm Exactly my feeling Marion.. Love metal and all… I’m just not good with mosh pits.. I don’t know maybe its a girl thing…

Neenz0r on January 22nd, 2009 3:41 pm Tho i have to admit that my hopes as high as they are, are beginning to dwindle… sigh… shall i reiterate yet again that this sucks major friggin hairy butt??!

Kevin Pietersen on January 22nd, 2009 3:42 pm the only acts Oasis would be #2 on the bill to would be u2 and Paul McCartney

They deserve to headline as they are legends of the past, the present and the future

They are huge everywhere and have a back catalogue that few acts can challenge

Evert on January 22nd, 2009 3:42 pm I have to clean the bathroom when I get home, and pick up milk, i’m making a list, so far it’s handy andy and milk, i think the cashier is gonna look at me funny, so i better add a few items, maybe a bar-one and 2 samoosas, or hair gel. more rumours, apparently jimmy hendrix is rising from the dead and coming to cokefest, and the who are playing as well, and deep purple, and sabbath, with ozzy.

Thank you Big Concerts and 5FM for bringing these awesome bands to S.A! Even though it’s not the line-up most of us fans were hoping for, we cant all get what we want! I think Coke Zero fest is gonna rock this year just like the years before!!!! I’m really excited about Bullet and Panic coz I hear they are awesome live. Hopefully next year we can get more hardcore bands (thats if they are able to squeeze us in!)and also fory many many years to come! So rock on Cokefest! C u there!

Anyone who doesnt go is so GONNA MISS OUT!!!!!!!!!!

To Marion and D,stop making excuses. This might be my 3rd concert I will be attending(with my 24 old daughter, yes you heard right) and 99.9% agree that the 2007 &08 concerts had great bands. Also if you read all the comments its not ONLY metal heads who are unhappy with the line up. I’m certainly NOT a metal head thank you very much. I’m not a teeny bopper either. I grew up in the 70’s when Rock music was THE music to listen to and were influenced by my older sibblings.I am open to rock music of the late 60’s, 70’s, 80’s & 90’s to current rock, BUT OASIS…..need I say more.

@ RockFan… look dude, do whatever you want. I personally don’t see the point in biching because it’s not going to make a difference and I’m convinced both venues are going to be busting at the seams either way. My point was merely that there is more than one influence that affects the decision-making and your ranting isn’t going to change that… but please feel free to continue if it makes you feel better.

Furthermore, your age makes absolutely no difference to me, so please don’t feel that it gives you more right to an opinion than a 20-something or even some of the kids on here who have had more compelling arguments.

I for one am totally disappointed as most attendees of the coke fest were hard rock and metal fans i was there in 2006 when metallica were the headliners, it was kick-ass all the bands were amazing live except the rasmus. It was nice cuz we finally had a concert where we could go to watch some bands that we liked now they seemed to have turned this into another pop concert .. I dont mind Oasis im not a fan but a little variety would be nice and on the thing about other bands being buzy you have to consider that they had since last year to get bands signed up????? make us wait for this.

And for those who beleive that we are the minority where were your votes when ask which bands u wanted??? only 4 out of 663 comments had oasis????

You now what is pissing me off about waiting for the full line-up to be announced???? (and yes there will be more, if you check the computicket website, each band will preform 45-60min each and the festival is suppose to be 12 hours long)
Anyway,
Everbody who loves Oasis, Snow Patrol and Panic at the disco can buy there Golden Circle tickets now….But the other people who likes something else have to wait (not saying I only love Metal or that I’m a metalhead)
And when they eventually announce the other bands and they are good, there will be no more Golden Circle tickets left!!!!

This Suck, not knowing – and I think that is the main reason everybody is piss off, not bez we only want death Metal Bands hear……nobody ever said that.
O.K maybe sum did (But that is just stupid)
I would personally love to see Linkin Park, Polisiekar and I know Metallica has been here b4 but I missed it (damn)…

You guys might as well forget about death metal or goth bands playing at Cokefest. Let me remind you that 5FM plays commercial music. How often do you hear Dimmu, Slipknot, Lacuna coil, Slayer or Pantera on 5FM?????! It’s not gonna happen so stop with your moaning!!! Hey I’m emo and my fave bands arent coming, but I’m not whining like a baby about it! BFMV is gonna be great and you guys can sit at home and cry some more….

Thats the Emo’s job…and how often have you heard Muse or Korn, OR METALLICA on 5FM? Hardly ever and the only reason they have ever played it, was because they sorta had to, since they were bring them out! Who are your favorite bands btw?

Why dont you rather involve yourself organising some baby or dog competition! Besides I’m not the ONLY one bitching and no, I dont feel because of my age my opinion is law.
Also in your first comment re “not understanding economics” I DO, then why do you suggest the bands you do when you cant afford to bring them here or whatever other excuse you made.
You can say what you want, but this year you guys messed up BIG time, because 07 & 08 the tickets was available months ahead of time.
As for both venues bursting at the seams? I dont think so….not if there are 3 or more better acts added.

Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man
Consistently, without the eyes to see

Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture the essence of
The trails of our kind

Behind the enemy’s line
So it shall be written

Emo-Amy and the other Big Concerts/5fm apologists…

Here is why so many of us are so pissed off. Hard-rock and metal fans are generally the most marginalized and un-catered-for music fan demographic. With the exception of Tuks FM which has a very limited broadcast area, there is no radio station that plays our stuff. We have to rely on our own music collections and night-clubs like The Doors or Zeplins.

Then along comes Coke Fest which gives us Metallica, Korn, Seether, GnR (even if they didn’t pitch) and others. Urguably, we were the main attendees of previous previous Coke Fests. With our expectations based on previous Fests, I’m sure you can understand our reactions when presented with a line-up composed thus far of 90s has-beens, lighter-waving soft pop-rock, and 2 slightly harder okay-ish but hardly epic bands. We were strung along for months and then screwed over.

Bryan | Jan 23, 2009 | Reply
@ Dracolusus… i agree dude, but the reason i ask is bechause Metallica and blink ( ja weird combination) but those 2 bands got me into metal and punk. The more i grew up the more i got into metal but i listin to all tipes of rock and music , coz if its good its good. My opinion is just that id rather have a poppie punk band there thats actually ment something to me at sometime in my love than something like panic @ the disco.

Oh and did anyone notice the influx of UK bands to Cokefest.

Started with Kaizer chiefs and this year its just uk bands except for panic at shitband but they dont count

Im a metal fan and ive seen comments here that say stuff like: “you metal freaks need to respect different types of music” etc etc. Therefore I have mentioned foo fighters just to make a point! Its not about wanting metal bands,its about wanting GOOD bands,bands that are legendary,bands that give you goosebumps,bands like metallica,muse,korn,smashing pumpkins!!!

Were not complaining because of the genres of music represented(ok perhaps a bit) were complaining because the bands are SHITE!

On a sidenote: Bullet for my Valentine does not even count as a metal band, a lot of metalheads think they are gay(personal opinions of course)

Evanecense blew my mind and Hoobastank were awesome!! i even went and saw Seether again when they were out last year. But, the point is, the list is not complete and the louder bands are always announced last… It happened with Metallica, Korn, Muse… So, for one final time, why is everyone bitching about the soft “popular” line-up when the loud bands still need to be announced?

You have to remember that Slipknot pretty much won’t come to SA over that whole sword controversy. I saw them in Hammersmith last month anyway haha.

I think a band like Flogging Molly or PW could do wonders for crowd appeasment and general fun. Punk banks make festivals work.

My dear Rock Fan… this will be my final note to you because there is no point talking to people who don’t understand what you are saying. you are clearly an angry person who thinks that, because you listen to loud music, you are instantly “cool”. Well, I hope that conforts you because nothing you say is going to make me melicious or vengeful.

Yes, I am 2 years older than your daughter, but that doesn’t make you more intelligent than I am. i’m not saying this to demean you in any way. Age is such a pointless arguing point, as is sex and race.

Enjoy your Rock Fest, or, alternatively, just enjoy your brandy on the rocks and learn to chill, because no one cares about the person who’s just out there to make a noise about nothing… XX

@ m:

It was super-windy, and there were sound problems so we could hear no bass (which RATM is about!) plus it was rammed with indie students celebrating their grad etc. The sound problems affected the mainstage acts throughout the weekend apart from Metallica who paid a £10k fine upfront to boost the sound.

The punk tent was filled with people that wanted to be in there, not just drifting to see headliners. So created an incredible atmosphere.

This is MY final words to you. You are such a preditable child and I had a feeling you think I’m an angry person and secondly that I think i’m “cool” Well I dont think so. It seems you now have more of a problem with us oldies still liking and attending rock festivals. I might add a LOT attended the previous festivals.
You seem like you more hurt at my comment about you getting married.
And finally, I do NOT touch alcohol so why dont you chill and rather prepare for your wedding.

Korn were rubbish last year, hell they’re not even the original lineup that dominated the world. We should celebrate that SA’s first world class band, Zebra and Giraffe have the opportunity to showcase their talents on a scale that they deserve. Bullet for my valentine are a potentially great band. And Oasis ALWAYS put on a helluva show. Grow up you d!ckhedz.

Just got this email… thought it might stir the pot

A Violinist in the Metro

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.

A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.

The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tugged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.

Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston and the seats averaged $100.

This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

This is from NME. Just for those people who are pissed off with Oasis coming. Please stop saying they’re ‘hasbeens’, and ‘old’. For god’s sake! They just released a new album, which is AMAZING.

This is from their album review.
‘…in 2009, Oasis not only revitalised themselves as a musical force and wrote the second best single and album of their career, they actually made the most punk-rock album of the year too. And if you don’t it, you’re a nonce.’ —-> yes, it says that. This is NME.

NIN

Kings of Leon (to attract the hot woman, lol)

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 11:46 am @LC how can you promise that? Have you got inside information the rest of us don’t? Can you read minds? Are you and alien???

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 11:49 am I would sell my ovaries just to see Slipknot, Disturbed, Marilyn Manson, SOAD, Devil Driver, Five finger death punch, Godsmack, Incubus, Killswitch Engage, Mudvayne, Rammstein in concert!!!!!!

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 11:53 am SOAD I’d LOVE to SEE, Incubus are amaaaazing and Manson is an altime fav from bad in the day (new stuff is a bit meh, but I’d like to be in a mosh ot the Reflecting God!!!)

Oh Rammstein would be awesome as well. KillSwitch I’d also pay to watch.

esdormingo on January 23rd, 2009 11:54 am BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
so thats why its called coke ZERO
zero cool bands

YOU SUCK!!!

LC on January 23rd, 2009 11:54 am @Marion
I’ve read the post by ppl and I can promise you that!!!
No not alien!!!(LOL)

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 11:55 am But now the big question for me is……WHY SHOULD I GO TO THIS CONCERT? Are they gonna make it worth the golden circle price? I dont wanna lose out, but….

Geez, the Cape Town venue and date is changed. That screws me over a bit.

IS THIS CONCERT REALLY WORTH THE EFFORT AND THE BUCKS?

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 11:57 am @Dariah not as it currently stands IMHO. But I got a mail from the chick running the Cockfest group on Facebook and she said they would confirm more bands within the next 4-6 weeks. We can only hope its Slipknot, LOL…

wikus brand on January 23rd, 2009 11:58 am did anyone like blink 182 here?

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 11:58 am Dracolusus, Manson is definitely one of my favourite bands. I would never miss him if he played here! Are you going to this zero fest thing?

John on January 23rd, 2009 12:01 pm Manson should be here!!!!!!!!!

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 12:01 pm Really? Geez I should check out the page on Facebook then. I dont know if I can wait 2 weeks though…..

I’ve been looking forward to this concert since I was at Cokefest 08! How disappointing! I’m keeping my fingers crossed… actually Linkin Park wouldnt be a bad idea…

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 12:06 pm @Dariah Not unless I get free tickets. I LOVE Bullet, buddie got me into them about 6 months ago and I’ve love to see them. But as it stands, I won’t pay that amount for the rest of the trash.

Organising for the Download Festival in June instead

Besides Gaay ‘n Roses, this is out of this world.
ht tp :/ / 2006. downloadfestival.co . uk/lineup/index . asp

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 12:07 pm just del the spaces, damn moderation

shanis on January 23rd, 2009 12:08 pm Bullet for my Valentine is best band out of all.

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 12:08 pm @wikus Sorry dude, but no. I did when I was 13, but that was more than a decade ago…they are still cool for teenagers tho, but not for a rock concert, as most of the poeple that would watch aren’t legal to shag me or by beer.

shadyshades on January 23rd, 2009 12:10 pm The battle raged on and on
Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man
Consistently, without the eyes to see
By those who rebel in sewer equally

We, the prosperity of the future seal
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture the essence of
The trails of our kind

Zero tolerance must be issued forth
Behind the enemy’s line
So it shall be written
And so it shall be done(x2)

…
Oh hi o/

Markhimself on January 23rd, 2009 12:11 pm I would give my nuts to see Rage against the Machine!

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 12:13 pm Damn your funny Dracolusus! LOL!!!!

Bryan on January 23rd, 2009 12:18 pm Emo-Amy and the other Big Concerts/5fm apologists…

Here is why so many of us are so pissed off. Hard-rock and metal fans are generally the most marginalized and un-catered-for music fan demographic. With the exception of Tuks FM which has a very limited broadcast area, there is no radio station that plays our stuff. We have to rely on our own music collections and night-clubs like The Doors or Zeplins.

Then along comes Coke Fest which gives us Metallica, Korn, Seether, GnR (even if they didn’t pitch) and others. Urguably, we were the main attendees of previous previous Coke Fests. With our expectations based on previous Fests, I’m sure you can understand our reactions when presented with a line-up composed thus far of 90s has-beens, lighter-waving soft pop-rock, and 2 slightly harder okay-ish but hardly epic bands. We were strung along for months and then screwed over.

wikus brand on January 23rd, 2009 12:19 pm @ Dracolusus… i agree dude, but the reason i ask is bechause Metallica and blink ( ja weird combination) but those 2 bands got me into metal and punk. The more i grew up the more i got into metal but i listin to all tipes of rock and music , coz if its good its good. My opinion is just that id rather have a poppie punk band there thats actually ment something to me at sometime in my love than something like panic @ the disco.

Oh and did anyone notice the influx of UK bands to Cokefest.

Started with Kaizer chiefs and this year its just uk bands except for panic at shitband but they dont count

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 12:22 pm Dracolusus where is that concert taking place?

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 12:22 pm I’d take Blink over panic anyday

wikus brand on January 23rd, 2009 12:24 pm oK can we see from everyone commenting on this page, whos going and what tickets are you buying

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 12:28 pm Wikus I’m still confused. I might still go, but not golden circle for crummy pop bands. I have to see bullet though. Maybe just general admission ticket….

wikus brand on January 23rd, 2009 12:33 pm k cool, im sure there will be more bands maybe 2 more international, but i think ill go goldencircle anyway. Its just a cooler exsperience and hey Cokefest kinda became a tradision for us

John on January 23rd, 2009 12:35 pm just jump over the fence into golden circle. did that for korn and later people could jus walk in

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 12:37 pm Wikus are you Cape Town or Joburg. Anyone going to Coke fest Cape Town? I dont know the new venue….

m on January 23rd, 2009 12:38 pm Im definately not getting golden circle tickets…perhaps general admission,probably not though. If a huge band like foo fighters for example comes,then count me in…otherwise this is a miss for me!

Im a metal fan and ive seen comments here that say stuff like: “you metal freaks need to respect different types of music” etc etc. Therefore I have mentioned foo fighters just to make a point! Its not about wanting metal bands,its about wanting GOOD bands,bands that are legendary,bands that give you goosebumps,bands like metallica,muse,korn,smashing pumpkins!!!

Were not complaining because of the genres of music represented(ok perhaps a bit) were complaining because the bands are SHITE!

On a sidenote: Bullet for my Valentine does not even count as a metal band, a lot of metalheads think they are gay(personal opinions of course)

Peace

wikus brand on January 23rd, 2009 12:38 pm im in Cape Town, the new venue, ja i know where it is but ive never been there, im a bit nervous though cause the racecourse was a awesome venue and i dont want any horney ostriches chasing me

wikus brand on January 23rd, 2009 12:40 pm @ m …well said dude

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 12:42 pm @ Bryan… I agree with you! I’m not a metal fan, but I love rock! After seeing Staind live, I grew a new appreciation for their music. Evanecense blew my mind and Hoobastank were awesome!! i even went and saw Seether again when they were out last year. But, the point is, the list is not complete and the louder bands are always announced last… It happened with Metallica, Korn, Muse… So, for one final time, why is everyone bitching about the soft “popular” line-up when the loud bands still need to be announced?

m on January 23rd, 2009 12:44 pm @Marion
I hope your right

Rock Fan – CT on January 23rd, 2009 12:45 pm @LC thanks for the sweet words, I like to move with the times (unlike some ppl) life is too short.
@Dracolusus & Hmmm you could not have said it better.
@Bryan You’re a STAR!
@Marion you certainly dont have much to say, glad you shut up. And you know what? I think YOU are permanently on valium & enama’s because you talking in your sleep and you are probably always constipated. Ha ha ha ha ha

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 12:45 pm I agree dude! The race course was a much better venue than the Bellville velodrome and now this! I’m sceptical! And as for the horny ostriches……thats some freaky shite dude! I’m not keen on moshing with that lot!

Note to self: Find out what ostriches eat.

m on January 23rd, 2009 12:48 pm “I would give my nuts to see Rage against the Machine!”

Me too dude, literally

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 12:50 pm @ RockFan… wow, you continue to blow me away with your incredible insight! Excuse us mere mortals for our limitations and inferior brain capacity. All hail RockFan!

John on January 23rd, 2009 12:52 pm i like marion

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 12:58 pm Thx John… I like me too

LC on January 23rd, 2009 1:00 pm Idiots

John on January 23rd, 2009 1:00 pm lol. thats good

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 1:12 pm Marion, so you’re saying the other bands will def be more hardcore?

Rock Fan – CT on January 23rd, 2009 1:14 pm @Marion get a life, because you sound like a very lonely and frustrated person.

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 1:15 pm I’m pretty sure they will. On the 21st when an actual PR guy from Big Concerts posted a reply to all the frustrated comments, s/he said that we would not be disappointed with the last bands that still need to be announced

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 1:16 pm A revised list if I didn’t care about the number the bands would pull

NIN
Tool
Slipknot
BFMV
System of a Down
Rage Against the Machine

Local
Narrow
Pestroy
Kid of Doom
Seether LOL

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 1:18 pm @Marion its problany Coldgaay and Linkin Park unfortunately

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 1:19 pm @ Rock Fan.. sorry if I hurt your feelings. Didn’t realise such an old guy with such strong beliefs was so easily swayed. My apologies.

FYI – I’m getting married in 6 months, so I’m actually very happy and not lonely at all, but thanks for your concern

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 1:22 pm Bet she is a swamp donkey

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 1:23 pm Hmm… maybe. I’m really hoping for Linkin Park, so I can’t say I’d be bummed about that.

I don’t think they’ll bring any bands they’ve had before, so we can count those out…

But you never really know… I never expected Muse last year, and they brought them out!

LC on January 23rd, 2009 1:24 pm Poor guy/woman you are marrying…

Rock Fan – CT on January 23rd, 2009 1:24 pm @ Marion for you information I happen to be female and got married probably before you were born. I feel sorry for the guy or woman who’s marrying you.

m on January 23rd, 2009 1:32 pm dudes chill the fack out (;

Nick on January 23rd, 2009 1:32 pm You guys all need to remember that SOAD don’t play as a band anymore, so stop requesting them. I saw RATm at Reading in Aug 08 and its wasn’t up to scratch sound-wise, so we went to the punk tent and caught some Pennywise which I was blown away by. You have to remember that Slipknot pretty much won’t come to SA over that whole sword controversy. I saw them in Hammersmith last month anyway haha.

I think a band like Flogging Molly or PW could do wonders for crowd appeasment and general fun. Punk banks make festivals work.

m on January 23rd, 2009 1:34 pm @Nick You left Rage for Pennywise???

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????

Dayne on January 23rd, 2009 1:35 pm Yip… this year is definitely the year of the ZERO FEST!!

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 1:37 pm My dear Rock Fan… this will be my final note to you because there is no point talking to people who don’t understand what you are saying. you are clearly an angry person who thinks that, because you listen to loud music, you are instantly “cool”. Well, I hope that conforts you because nothing you say is going to make me melicious or vengeful.

Yes, I am 2 years older than your daughter, but that doesn’t make you more intelligent than I am. i’m not saying this to demean you in any way. Age is such a pointless arguing point, as is sex and race.

Enjoy your Rock Fest, or, alternatively, just enjoy your brandy on the rocks and learn to chill, because no one cares about the person who’s just out there to make a noise about nothing… XX

Lara on January 23rd, 2009 1:37 pm @ m
Don’t tell them to stop it’s sooooo funny.
Vat hom fluffies! Vat hom Vat hom!!! Grrrr!!!! Go!

Nick on January 23rd, 2009 1:38 pm @ m:

It was super-windy, and there were sound problems so we could hear no bass (which RATM is about!) plus it was rammed with indie students celebrating their grad etc. The sound problems affected the mainstage acts throughout the weekend apart from Metallica who paid a £10k fine upfront to boost the sound.

The punk tent was filled with people that wanted to be in there, not just drifting to see headliners. So created an incredible atmosphere.

m on January 23rd, 2009 1:42 pm @ Nick
Its understandable I guess but I would give my left and right nut to see them. One of the best and most original bands ever!!

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 1:45 pm Gawd, she is back…

Rock Fan – CT on January 23rd, 2009 1:52 pm Dear Marion
My . my , I’m shivering…bbbbrrrrr.
This is MY final words to you. You are such a preditable child and I had a feeling you think I’m an angry person and secondly that I think i’m “cool” Well I dont think so. It seems you now have more of a problem with us oldies still liking and attending rock festivals. I might add a LOT attended the previous festivals.
You seem like you more hurt at my comment about you getting married.
And finally, I do NOT touch alcohol so why dont you chill and rather prepare for your wedding.

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 1:52 pm @Nick “The sound problems affected the mainstage acts throughout the weekend apart from Metallica who paid a £10k fine upfront to boost the sound.”

What you mean by this, what Metallica do?

Dariah on January 23rd, 2009 1:53 pm Lol!I agree Marion!

Melissa on January 23rd, 2009 1:55 pm Hey guys. Well I’ve just bought MY tickets for the fest. I don’t think it will be that bad after all, really excited to see Bullet.

Let’s just hope for the best for the rest of the bands to be announced. I just hope I’m not gonna want golden circle tickets after that!

SHIT!

Anyone want tickets? lol

wikus brand on January 23rd, 2009 1:58 pm Rockfan just shut the F@ck up, we get it already, even old people need to get laid sometimes

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 2:01 pm Wikus… some respect for the older folks dude, sheesh! damn it…so Rock Fan, don’t take this the wrong way…but is your daughter hot?

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 2:02 pm ROFL… I wish I could give you guys “high-5s” Anyone know how to make a little hand-emoticon?

Lara on January 23rd, 2009 2:05 pm @ Dracolusus
You pay more attention I thought was capable

Sancho on January 23rd, 2009 2:11 pm I see people are talking about the other bands. Do we have confirmation or is it just hopeful thinking? I cannot believe they can go from 12 bands to 6, or even 8.

Insano on January 23rd, 2009 2:13 pm You’re mixing metal heads with a bunch of 14 yr old fangirls. Are you asking for a stampede?
Who books these bands? do you even own a radio? WTF?

Listen to the people! They want Linkin Park – not Snow Patrol. They want Blur – not Oasis. Why are we always settling for second rate bands just cos we’re on the arse end of the world. Get a clue from Australia’s Big Day Out. Do your homework.

I’ll see everyone at Splashy Fen instead.

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 2:14 pm No news… that’s why we’ve started fighting with eachother instead wanna join in?

Sancho on January 23rd, 2009 2:17 pm Sure. Obama is a terrorist

Ryro on January 23rd, 2009 2:19 pm “i”ve got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better f*ck, than any boy you will ever meet, sweetie you had me”

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 2:21 pm HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 2:22 pm Good thing it’s a Friday!

D on January 23rd, 2009 2:23 pm MMMM i LOVE THE AGGRESSION!!!!!!!!! The metal folk are just proving the steriotype of them being so freaken aggresive right

Ill-88 on January 23rd, 2009 2:28 pm PEEPOL WUS DA OTHER ACT????? IS THERE MORE????? IS THIS IT????? WTF????????? so many questions so little answers

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 2:29 pm And the jocks are showing us what douche bags they are.

Ryro on January 23rd, 2009 2:32 pm “This was no accident
This was a therapeutic chain of events”

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 2:33 pm Dude, please spare us the crappy PATD lyrics

Melissa on January 23rd, 2009 2:34 pm this has turned into a new chat room ha-ha!

so, does anyone wanna tell me something?

Ryro on January 23rd, 2009 2:34 pm “You’re a regular decorated emergency”

Rossi on January 23rd, 2009 2:35 pm OMG you guys suck. Slipknot aren’t even a big band, they just prey on markets of ignorant phillistines like us and russia. Korn were rubbish last year, hell they’re not even the original lineup that dominated the world. We should celebrate that SA’s first world class band, Zebra and Giraffe have the opportunity to showcase their talents on a scale that they deserve. Bullet for my valentine are a potentially great band. And Oasis ALWAYS put on a helluva show. Grow up you d!ckhedz.

John on January 23rd, 2009 2:37 pm FU.K!!!!! YOU!!!!! Rossi.
Korn was brilliant!!

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 2:40 pm @John…exactly, just shows this dildo for what he is, a f*cktard in the true sense on the word.

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 2:41 pm Just got this email… thought it might stir the pot

A Violinist in the Metro

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.

A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.

The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tugged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.

Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston and the seats averaged $100.

This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

John on January 23rd, 2009 2:42 pm drac. me or rossi?

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 2:43 pm WTF does that have to do with the price of f*cking up Oasis?

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 2:46 pm @John, lol read it do, I mean him. Anyone that said that is a douche and should go to H2O instead or like the retards that said “I’m a Korn fan and they sucked” Cause thats bull, if they were a fan there is NO WAY they would think that!

Liam Gallagher on January 23rd, 2009 2:50 pm whoo

John on January 23rd, 2009 2:53 pm @drac. yeah. i waited 14 years to see korn and when i heard they were coming i couldnt beleive it. and it was a great performance. so screw the haters!!!

Cat on January 23rd, 2009 2:59 pm This is from NME. Just for those people who are pissed off with Oasis coming. Please stop saying they’re ‘hasbeens’, and ‘old’. For god’s sake! They just released a new album, which is AMAZING.

This is from their album review.
‘…in 2009, Oasis not only revitalised themselves as a musical force and wrote the second best single and album of their career, they actually made the most punk-rock album of the year too. And if you don’t it, you’re a nonce.’ —-> yes, it says that. This is NME.

Lalala on January 23rd, 2009 3:00 pm Everyone’s entitled to their opinion Dracolusus and john

Cat on January 23rd, 2009 3:01 pm don’t *like* it.

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:02 pm @Lalala Yeah I know Just keeping up with the d!ckhead persona

Melissa on January 23rd, 2009 3:03 pm @marion
that’s a good e-mail.
people don’t recognize true beauty or greatness unless someone mentioned it before & made them aware of it.

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 3:06 pm @ Melissa.. isn’t it just the sadest thing? What a waste

@Drac… we love you! Gonna throw daisies and bunny-rabbits at you

Leon on January 23rd, 2009 3:08 pm Cape Town/Joburg does not consist of metal lovers only. Take the rod out of your arse and realise that you can’t always get what you want, and the world does not revolve around you.

John on January 23rd, 2009 3:08 pm Exactly. its just my opninion

John on January 23rd, 2009 3:08 pm Exactly. its just my opinion

Lalala on January 23rd, 2009 3:09 pm Why do you have to have a dickhead persona anyhoo?

Melissa on January 23rd, 2009 3:09 pm @marion
yip, very sad. so you going to the fest?

@drac
do you actually work? coz you’ve been on this site for 3 days now

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:10 pm @Leon, thanks man, we were blind before you opened our eye…our brown eye

Lalala on January 23rd, 2009 3:10 pm Yeah but i’m saying you can’t get all aggro and swear at everyone who says that they don’t like korn. I don’t. But I like Bloc Party and the Monkeys , and maybe you don’t. But i’m not gonna swear.

True Fan on January 23rd, 2009 3:10 pm WOW! what a loser rossi is KORN are legends of their time and were amazing live and unless you in your 30’s oasis is really old and gay at least you have some sense about Bullet and Zebra & Giraffe

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:11 pm @Melissa I do, but I’m bored…too much work, too much pay, makes me lazy.

John on January 23rd, 2009 3:11 pm i meant

Lalala on January 23rd, 2009 3:12 pm Yeah, hah hah You guys have been on here for DAYS

Leon on January 23rd, 2009 3:13 pm ‘KORN are legends of their time and were amazing live and unless you in your 30’s oasis is really old and gay’

Ignorant git.

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:14 pm @Lalala I swear cause that statement was offensive to Korn fans and anyone that can spot a good show, even my gf liked it and she hates my heavy music.

Melissa on January 23rd, 2009 3:14 pm @drac
well in MY case it’s too much work, too little pay
so which bands do you want to come still?

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 3:16 pm @Mel… absolutely!! you guys can rip me off all you like, but I absolutely LOVE Snow Petrol and vowed I’d do whatever it took to see them if they ever came to SA… so, I’m in!! ( even if it means going by myself )

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:17 pm I’ll take Foo’s, I’ll take Rage Against the Machine, hell, I’d even take Kings of Leon, so my friends that think this fest is complete loss might even be temped to come.

Bring me NIN, so I can die in bliss.

Who you want?

John on January 23rd, 2009 3:18 pm yeah. my girlfriend went for muse i went for korn. i didnt like muse and she didnt like korn. but now we like them both because of the show

John on January 23rd, 2009 3:19 pm disturbed or papa roach. or NIN

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:20 pm @Marion good for you; sorry for us that have to suffer through it

jk, sorta. They need to be a solo gig at the dome or something, so that all the chilled cats that listen to it won’t have to worry about us Metal Heads moshing in the pit to piss everyone off, LOL

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:21 pm @John, thats exactly like my gf and I funny how it turns out

John on January 23rd, 2009 3:22 pm @drac. yeah. must say i was impressed with muse

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:23 pm Personally, since I don’t want kids, I’d give both my nuts to see Tool live, plus I’d pay any amount of money for it…and any amount of credit I could raise with the bank…and I don’t care if i was the only one in the crowd

John on January 23rd, 2009 3:24 pm With you on that Drac!! il start robbing people

KMK on January 23rd, 2009 3:25 pm Did anybody hear when the guy phoned in to the fresh drive last night on 5fm? OK, so yes, you have a list of bands that you want to invite, but these bands dont sit around and “wait for us to phone them” – fresh….

THats OK fresh, but how k@k must your list’ve been, or how late did you think you could wait and still get half decent bands to come over (not ‘desperately seeking a comback’-sorry oasis).

When did coke and 5fm actually begin negotiations?

Last tuesday?

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 3:26 pm Hee hee… don’t worry Drac, you guys won’t be a bother… you’ll be at the bar or standing in line to pee… so there’ll be plenty of space for us and SP

Lebohang Mokena on January 23rd, 2009 3:26 pm I’m happy Oasis are coming here

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 3:28 pm Oo, oo… Papa Roach would be AWESOME live… so many memories… sigh

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:28 pm @Marion with that note, they should sort out the lines to the bar and the toilets! my gf suggested a ticketing system for drinks, so we don’t have to queue like shit at concerts. Sell drinks vouchers, so all you have to do is say 8 beers, 4 brutal fruits, etc and have over tickets, no fuss…might help speed sh!t up

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:30 pm @KMK what the guy that phoned into Fresh say?

Marion on January 23rd, 2009 3:36 pm @Drac.. you think the GUY’S toilets are bad? i normally stop drinking before the last 3 or so bands come on because I jsut can’t be bothered to face those lines… it’s rediculous!!!

Dracolusus on January 23rd, 2009 3:38 pm My gf just came back from holiday in Oz. She went to a fest type thing their. She said the porta potties there where SPOTLESS, guess clean them ever 3-4 times they are used, everything WORKS…its really not hard, but BC don’t give 2 sh!ts about the people…

John on January 23rd, 2009 3:38 pm my gf forbade me from using the toilets cos they so dirty. and then i found out she went to them like four times without me knowing

…the stock market
They’re irrational and can bankrupt you if you’re not careful.

…computers
They take too long to warm up and a better model always comes along once you’ve already got one.

…Saran Wrap
Useful but clingy.

…horses
Fun to pet and ride but a pain to feed and clean up after.

…parking meters
If you don’t feed them with enough money you face serious consequences.

…fax machines
Useful for one very specific purpose but otherwise just high-maintenance paperweights.

…political campaign contributors
If you let them talk about themselves long enough you wind up in bed with them.

…refrigerators
They’re always cold and never seem to have a beer when you need one.

…blue jeans
They look good for a while but eventually they fade and have to be replaced.

…country western songs
They’re annoying, they all sound alike, but if you really listen to them you’ll get depressed and drink a lot.

you old dinosaurs are so out of touch…

all you farts complaining about old age homes (ala Oasis) forget the AC/DC era crap you all want is older than half the band members on the current Cokefest lineup…

and for the record this is a rock fest not a metal fest…

Oasis are awesome and I am sure 90% of people here have at least one Oasis song on their ipod (or similar) and know the words to at least one of their hits – you posers…

Snow Patrol’s second last album was great and their new one has had little airplay (well in SA when did they ever get fair airplay)… they are a very good band

BFMV – little aged sound for my liking… granted I grew up on more progressive music than this and am not a pure metal head. They have some decent stuff tho – supposed to do a great live show

LP would be insane – I saw them live when they released their new album and they tore the place apart…

I think there is room for Killers, Kings of Leon, Skillet, Mudvayne, offspring, etc

If you sad little people want metal all night go to Doors and leave Cokefest to rockers who actually like a little variety… and quality bands

Interested to see who else will be here this yr… and I am def going!!

Apparently there were sound level set as the festival area is not too far from residential areas. If they went over it they would incur a fine. The sound for acts like Serj, QOTSA, RATM and many others were really bad. Metallica wanted to put on a great show and paid the fine upfront so that they could up the sound.

oh btw guys, i checked out the computicket description, so this year the show is starting 12:30 and they state that its 12 hours long festival like always and then they do state that every band will play for 45 min to an hour
sooooooooo that means there has to be 10 bands, like every year there was 10 band except for guns and roses fading, so ja i think we must just be a bit patient……………….fcuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk but its hard, btw i dont like onions

@ LEEEROY Lucky to have Oasis? You must be sh!tting me. We are starved for real live acts in this country and throwing us scraps of over the hill cr@p from the 90’s shouldn’t make us grateful, its a f*cking slap in the face. And I don’t care hoe big they are in Europe and Japan! Waht are the sales like here? What’s the reason they haven’t had airplay in this country in the last decade? because most, not all, most of the teenagers are over them now.

My main point, as my gf would listens to this type of music, like Snow patrol and Coldplay…in her words “They don’t belong at a festival like this, they should be solo at the dome or a sitdown concert”

and whoever said panic are exactly like fall out boy. i know to panic-haters there’s no difference between the two, but i used to be a big-ish fall out boy fan myself and i still love panic, so i know the two bands’ music pretty well. never ever be ignorant enough to say they sound the same. they’re very widely different.

@jessie. no really, they sound EXACTLY the same. especially the guys voice. lame.

i’ve come to the conclusion that this fest needs Brand New – the world’s greatest band. No one can dispute that.

I think it’s funny that people can even begin to think that there will be anything less than a sold out show.

These 4 bands will attract HUGE numbers, guaranteed. To all you emos and metalheads saying Bullet is the only good band, or that there will be no one there, you are only fooling yourselves.

On that night we will all be having a huge party, while you cry yourselves to sleep, and use your tears as lubricant.

I listen to everything from Slipknot to Radiohead to Brand New to Kings of Leon and am by no means a ‘metalhead’ yet even i took offense from your ignorant comment. Fuking faggot. This lineup is tailor-made for 5FM-listening pussies like you.

I listen to everything too my friend. In fact, I’m listening to Brand New RIGHT NOW. I agree it’s awesome if they come.

That being said, Oasis is amazing, as is Snow Patrol. Bullet will just rock, I’m going to go MAD! and Panic At the Disco is fun, good times music.

There are stil 2 or 3 international bands to be announced, so don’t give up hope!

Also, if the bands you don’t like end up on the bill, please don’t kill yourself. Rather seek help Professional help.

Matt | Jan 24, 2009 | Reply
Oasis – amazing? are you stuck in a time warp or something? They should be playing a show all by themselves, where Oasis fans can go and reminisce about the early 90’s. They don’t belong in this festivle. eos

sexymanbeast | Jan 24, 2009 | Reply
Personally, I am inclined to agree with you about Oasis seeming out of place. That being said, when else am I going to get to see them? Cokefest has been transformed from a metal / rock festival to a more of a mishmash of different styles, and you know what? It’s actually awesome because now I get to see so many bands I otherwise would probably never get a chance to.

SO yeah, maybe Coke Zero Fest sucks for emos and metalheads but since I can appreciate the bands that are playing and am a fan of them, I will enjoy it.

Matt | Jan 24, 2009 | Reply
I’m not saying the lineup isn’t emo or metal enough. I’m saying that it’s just sh!t. Add either kings of leon or radiohead to the bill, plus a heavier band like Tool or something and we will have a winning formula. Til then, this lineup is pretty crappy and definately not worth 600 bucks.

No Nonsense Noel Gallagher pronounced last week that Radiohead are boring. “No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, ‘We’re all doomed,’ at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play Creep; get over it, . . I never went to fuking university. I don’t know what a paint brush is; I never went to art school.” (The Guardian)

Its comments like these that make those Gallaghers arrogant assholes. Radiohead is genius. So fuk you Liam, and fuk you Noel. If anything is boring, it’s britpop gayness. And fuk you Matt. Just kidding. But seriously.

Maintaining his notorious rant reputation, Liam had this to say about the new album, “buy it or don’t fuking buy it, I’m not mithered either way.”

As for his feelings towards Coldplay and Radiohead, Liam made it clear, “I don’t hate them. I don’t wish they had accidents. I think their fans are boring and ugly and they don’t look like they’re having a good time.”

Metal / Emo lovers with no room to consider any other genre of music make up maybe 0.5% of the population of people who like music.

Thats still 99.5% of people who will come or consider coming to Cokefest.

Not to mention about half of the people who “will not be attending” who will go anyway.

The music is aimed at kids but the prices are for adults, not enough research into your target market eh?

What really amazes me is that the Metal appreciation sector of society seem to think that Cokefest is dedicated to them. Its really awesome that you are so passionate about your music but please don’t comment and put people down just because they haven’t put your desires before those of others. If the organisers only bring heavy bands then Cokefest’s relevance to our diverse music tastes will be brought into question. Perhaps it didn’t occur to you lot that the metal bands you are requesting aren’t available to tour.

Lighten up. Seriously, we are so damn lucky to have these bands already.

Thank you Big Concerts, 5fm and Coke Zero. Thank you for actually bringing us international artists from our generation. Including Oasis, I’m so excited to see them live.

not that im trying to get involved in the whole metal/rock argument here, but for those of you who complain about the metal kids just go to a metal show, something big like Thornfest was and youll see how much support there is just for South African metal, imagine if they brought some international metal here, the place would be sold out man… even if you just bring Chromium under the South African bands you will get shit loads more people, and Chromium isnt even heavy, they like Bullet… any metal people to back me up here???

The Fluff | Jan 25, 2009 | Reply
Fluff perhaps you’re right about there being a lot of support, but you have to admit, support for pop bands and 5fm bands is far more stronger.

A commercial band will draw a far bigger crowd than a metal band. That’s just a fact of life, and because, like everything in life, money is the key factor, Coke Zero will obviously try and attract as large a crowd as possible.

And with this line up they will do that. Regardless of how many bitching and moaner people write on a blog.

Bullet for my valentine is a great band live and put on a brilliant show, its about time that SA has a decent rock fest with proper true metal bands like lamb of God, Slayer and stop classifying these young wanna be kids as rock/metal that only know how to play on riff repeatedly and guys that wear more makeup than their girlfriend and their clothes too.
this country needs a descent metal fest like Donnington or Oz Fest.
You cant call yourself a true rocker if you think Panic at the disco, snow patrol, kaiser chiefs and the likes of these are rock. Then you should rather call yourself a wannabe coz true rock is all about heavy riffs, thundering power chords and hardcore vocals. Anyone agree feel free to post your thoughts.

OK, probably the dream lineup is (in order of appearance):

Serj Tankian
Arctic Monkeys
Kings of Leon
Weezer
White Stripes
Radiohead

Serj Tankian, being metal, yet low key, could open and appease the metal lovers, followed by Arctic Monkeys who are still relatively low key and yet offer a young band to the lineup and lower the freneticness of the pace. Then Kings of Leon. Evryone loves Kings of Leon. They should be later, but they aren’t for two reasons:
a) White Stripes can’t follow Kings of Leon due to similar styles
b) Kings of Leon sound like a kick-ass sunset band.
They, as well as White Stripes, should please the rock purists. Then Weezer should appease emo-lovers yet still keep those lovers of good music because Weezer are one of the only, if not the only, good emo bands ever. Then White Stripes, really famous, really good way to provide a second headline act. Then Radiohead. They’ll hook in people from all genres because they do them all, from The Bends to Amnesiac. As the previous posts show, almost verybody loves them despite them not being pure rock as the fest suggests, anyone who doesn’t want to hear them sing slower songs can go because they’re last and anyone who does can stay.

This would bring in every single music fan in SA because there’s something for everyone. But don’t hold out for them all, Big Concerts, just get one or two quickly to save this God-awfulness. Hurry. Do it. DO IT NOW!!!!

P.S. If anyone reads this long tedious rant I’ll be very urprised.

Seeing as though a lot of people are upset, I think it might be a good idea to shed some light on this year’s Cokefest. I’ll write it like a FAQ. This is how it is and I’m going to tell it like it is. No offence to anyone of colour, musical taste or creed.

Q. What’s going on with Cokefest this year?

A. Last year the Department of Arts and Cultures were furious that there were no local or international black bands/artists at Cokefest. Coke paid R3 million for KoRn and I think about R1.5 million for Muse and they were pissed that Coke was paying South African money to international artists, and not giving any to local black artists. They applied A LOT of pressure on Coca Cola and for a while there wasn’t going to be a Cokefest 2009.

In stepped Coke Zero who kind of picked up the torch from Coke, which was really beaten hard by government. I can only assume they didn’t want to sponsor the fesitval this year because of how much flak they caught last time.

Q. Where are all the AWESOME bands?

A. There are awesome bands. Oasis are rock legends, and Bullet and Snow Patrol are both insanely huge overseas. You need to remember that the entire world is in an economic recession. Money is not just available these days, especially from COKE ZERO. Remember: Coke is not sponsoring this, Coke Zero is. Coke paid nearly R5 Million just for KoRn and Muse last year. That is a ridiculous amount of money and it just isn’t available this time around.

Also, many of the bands who were voted for were on the table to perform but were either just too expensive for the economic climate or had dates that conflicted with Coke Zero Fest. Then there was a certain band who WAS coming but decided they are a bunch of diva’s and were booted off the bill (You see Coke Zero HAS some balls), and a certain metal band that flat out refused to play here.

So yeah, that’s pretty much how we got to this point.

1. Government Interference
2. New Sponsor
3. Economic Recession

They didn’t choose the bands to purposefully piss you off.

Peace.

Editor: These facts are unsubstantiated.

PS. If Coke and Coke Zero where 2 different companies then why does it say manufactured by the same company on the back of the bottle and also – Coke Zero would’ve gotten into shit for stealing the logo and name. Ever heard of copyright?

They’re expanding so they make more money…

Coke Zero is a sub brand of Coca Cola. I never said anything differently. Coke Zero however is the sponsor, not Coke.

Just like how Caste Lite might sponsor an event, or Hunters Gold. It doesn’t mean Hunters Dry is also the sponsor.

Make sense?

And you don’t have to believe anything I say. What I said earlier is the honest truth. I might be slightly off with how much they paid the bands, but it was still a bucket load.

James P | Jan 27, 2009 | Reply
@Pankcakes

Or an even better example:

Fanta. When Fanta sponsors a sporting event, do you automatically think that it’s actually Coca-Cola? Because they are also part of the Coca-Cola family.

Also, I work in advertising, so yes, I have heard of copyright infringement.

For those of you who did not see/read my previous comments, check out this website, CoastToCoastTickets.com. You will get an idea if your fav bands are touring or not.
I checked two weeks ago if LP and Godsmack have anything on their agenda, and a few minutes ago, nothing yet. So….. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Can any of the organisers please give us an idea when the other announcements will be made. Too many are waiting in anticipation.

Go back to the main page, it clearly states more bands are going to be announced. They are having a 12 hour festival, each band 45 min – 1 hour. There will DEF be more bands announced. Not sure how good, but it IS going to happen.

I personally think 2 more int Bands, or do we usually get only 5?
And 4 more local. I went onto the sites, coke zero and big concerts etc, and they are promising a ‘ROCKING’ lineup, with ‘twists and surprises’. So I’m holding onto that. I do think the lineup is going to get heavier and I’m hoping it will satisfy everyone.

Zero fest indeed. The only way this is going to be cool is if you bring out Slipknot and Slayer to sort this sh1t out. but they’ll probably stab Oasis with swords n sh1t. what a p.u.s.s.y lineup.

The situation can swing either way, it’s a bit of a gamble. I myself am neutral but I know that a shitty announcement will make a lotta people very angry. I don’t mind watching the other bands, though I am not interested in buying their music. Though if they get more snow patrols etc I know a huge crowd will not support, and I hope 5fm is predicting this. But as someone said earlier, 4-6 weeks waiting -I also read that somewhere. I really do think the last two bands are gonna be great. 5fm have done a lot wrong in most people’s opinion, but it’s just not like them to arrange two more bands like oasis and and snow…

@Whoever thinks I’m talking a load of crap

You guys are so funny

Linkin Park was booted off the bill for being diva’s and it was ******** who didn’t want to come here.
And a number of big names were on the table but couldn’t make it, for a variety of reasons.

And Coke Zero is the same thing as Coke, but because they are sponsoring it doesn’t mean they just automatically have access to Coke’s money. Sponsoring doesn’t work that way.

and if they only make 24mil for this concert it won’t be a huge success. they probably paid 25mil just for the bands last year, not including the lighting, stage, sound etc.

But yeah. this is my last post. I’m also quite finished with the negativity on this blog. Coke Zero Fest will be awesome because there are AWESOME bands playing, I will be there, and I will have a great time.

@ Jesse your probably fat or bipolar or something, i guess you like men with popcollars and that can dance like a meercat on tik. I mean seriesly stop labelling people.

I love metal, thats my preference, but i respect music, i if a band is good musically ill give them props. Theres no doubt that Oasis is legends otherwise they wouldnt be where they are today, but please stop labelling and generelising as that is the weakest and most annoying thing people do these days.

I mean do you actually know anything as your mixing metal with emo and if you can maybe just open your eyes youll see that metalheads hates emos and visa versa.

Not all metalheads are depressed and hates live, you dont actually no anything about real metalheads or our brand of music, have you ever thought people listin to angry and negative music to get rid of negative energy.

Yeah so far the lineup isn’t what I expected… I think the only reason they announced Bullet so soon is coz the people were bitching about Snow patrol, panic and oasis. I’m still hoping for another 2 freakin decent bands to save Cokefest.

Metal is my first choice in music. Honestly i wasn’t a huge fan of any of the bands last year, but i still had a F***** good time. Plus its Cokefest, I think Coke aims for it to be a “rock Concert”, so expect commercial stuff, even the heavier bands that come are quite mainstream. lol i think people take this as a chance to just name their fave bands (most of which there is no hope in hell of them coming)…

Ah well lets hope for some amazing bands to be announced…

i dont understand why people get upset if theres no real metal bands like unearth , Killswitch, slayer etc, that will never happen , the closest Cokefest will get to metal was Metallica, like u said cokefest is not metal its suppose to cater for everyone, except for us metalheads bechause for somereason people think metal is offensive and just noise where its actually one of the most complicated tipes of music out there with the best musicians in the world.

All im saying is if people say stupid stuff Jesse attack the person not the genre, bechause if there were no metal, who would the media blame for every psycho crazy kid that attacks people with swords or shoots up schools bechause they dont have friends

Yeah, some of these metal bands that ppl would like to see…coke will never bring them to the mycokefest, I mean really.
The other day I was listening to 5Fm to get an up date on things and Gareth repeated the 6 bands again…and he could only name oasis, snow patrol, panic.. and the women had to remind him of Bullet.. The funny part was that you could hear, he had no clue who they where..
If the DJ don’t even know Bullet which is actually very chilled compared to most metal.. would they really bring heavier bands. Like wikus brands said I think Metallica is as Metal as 5FM will go…
Yeah if their was no Metal – who would ppl blame if some guy makes a stupid, stupid, stupid decision..I mean you have to be sick to do something like that (and them blame someone else) Lame!!!

I think Oasis is gonna rock. It’s weird to see how people either love them or hate them, very little between. Maybe its an American-vs-British-influence thing.

Really looking forward to it. Legendary songs.

Just hope those that don’t like the line-up don’t ruin it for those that do.

Kings of Leon is one of the top bands most people are praying for, they have no tour dates in April and the song they chose to play is FANS. Which is not their current single, and a song about playing live. 5fm is a sponsor of Coke Zero Fest.

It all just… fits. I dunno. Call me crazy…

It has to have been a sign, you have to know Kings really well to know that Fans is a song of complete awesomeness and I don’t think the 5fm producers would choose a song that isn’t even off their new album. its a sign.

How about we stop moaning and just wait (even thought it’s painful to do so) and if the final line-up is bad we laugh and if it’s good we go buy tickets to see whatever bands we think are good enough.

I doubt that anyone from public relations or whoever from CC is in charge is going to take the time to read how much we think they suck.

Oh yes – stop being mean to each other.

Now lets wait it out…

Kings of Leon have only got semi big now and its their 4th LP

Dont think they would be headlining

Oasis are confirmed headliners

Perhaps 1 more band could go below them as Oasis deserve to headline

Oasis have a new Single called Falling Down which will be released in SA i think in march

Jesse Senderos | Jan 29, 2009 | Reply
Jesse you are clearly referring to COMMERCIAL popularity. Maybe you’re too young to remember songs like The Bucket and Molly’s Chambers. Kings are an incredibly revered band among all rock fans because their music is (1) amazing and (2) sincere. They, along with one more heavier band will afford cokefest 09 with a much broader appeal and these kids who have been whinging like hormonal teenagers will be forced to eat their words, hang up their slipknot masks, and come and have a party.

I am glad you are not an Oasis basher though and thank you for pointing out they are releasing a new single. I’m looking forward to the older stuff though.

Heather, I know exactly what Coke would think if they read this. They would think that this thread is dominated by people who can’t spell, have no concept of simple grammer and can think of nothing better to do but try to be controversial. I’ll bet anything they google “obscure eastern european heavy metal band” get a couple of names and then come request them on this site. Well done for your diplomacy it has been sorely missed up to this point.

now as to the line up.. it suck’s yeah yeah osasis is good, and yeah the rest are too. and so are bullet.. but that said i dont like any of them.. they too soft form my likings and i’m not spending that kind of money on bands i dont really like and thats OUR grip…

to me and a lot of HARDCORES will hate me for this but bullet are way too emo..

and i understand the difficult situation that coke is in.. most bands not booked for tours are in studio.. the ones that are not are either divas or too expensive… but that goes for the internationall bands..

what i’m puzzled about is the remaining local bands….. you cant tell me that they cannot find a few more bands to play from S.A…
any band would give there left ball to play at Mycokefest.. sorry myzerofest.

and yes they’ll still get a good turn out, but a lot of fans of the event wont go.. unless tay pull a few good bands out of there sleeves…

I wish they’d have the Wombats come out and perform, or MCR/AFI/The Used. Muse were so amazing last year, I’d be happy to have them back again!

Slipknot are a bunch of F**king homos! If you wnat Metal, then ask for Metallica, not some ponses pranicng around in masks trying to conjure up demons and anarchy.

Honesly, we need postivity here, lets see the John Butler Trio, or even AC DC!

Would settle for the Arcade Fire though!

For me, the less satan worshiping bozos the better, Slipknot and Slayer can go masturbate together

Metallica are the greatest heavy metal band of all time buck! Do some research, spend some time, pick up a copy of and Justice for All, in time you will see how pathetic the likes of your beloved Slipknot are. I saw them in Austria, all around me were a bunch of gothic younsters trying to act Sato, pathetic is an understatement.

What’s wrong with being excited for Cokefest? I love Oasis, Snow Patrol and Bullet for my Valentine. And I have listened to Panic at the Disco enough to sing along to every song (Did the same thing for Good Charlotte and Simple Plan, both of which I am not fans of).

Just because people don’t like the bands doesn’t affect me in the slightest. The less people tht are there, the closer I can get to the stage!

If you are unhappy about the lineup, well, that sucks for you, but nothing you say or do will change anything.

If there were only heavy bands playing would it be more popular? (It would certainly please me)

Although I think its great that a show like this can get bands from all over the world to come play, I am kinda dissapointed by the selections… Maybe even if the event could have a variety of band from metal to kindof pop/rock

I wont lie I’m very disappointed with this years line up… There is just not one band that stands out above the rest.

Last year the big names of MUSE and KORN,this year all we have is OASIS.

Personally I’m not a fan of any of the bands this year, and especially OASIS. But Cokefest is always a party, and its who you go with. I wont pay GC but I’ll definitely be going.

I hope the next announcement brings with it one or two really good bands (RADIOHEAD:-) )

and I hope they tell us soon, cos if a good band comes I dont wanna miss golden circle….

Matt John | Feb 2, 2009 | Reply
I cant wait to go. I go every year and it is always awesome. Slightly different crowd yes but still ridiculously talented. There’s still a couple to be announced and I’m sure they will be insane. People must stop bitching or they’ll stop doing coke fest. If you don’t like the bands don’t go!

Joseph | Feb 2, 2009 | Reply
Oh dear kiddies, those who mock Oasis, legends of rock and winners of best british live act in 2008, and nominated as best live act in the world, those who miss it will be sorry!

As for SnowPatrol, Holy Toledo people, it sounds like half of you don’t even know who they are? They’ve been around for 15 years, only commercially popular of late. I saw them live in Dublin, and I have to say it was the best live show I’ve ever seen, better than U2.

Please bring AC/DC!

With more bands to be announced, I’m fekking stoked!

“if you don’t like Oasis… then you must be younger than 18 and have never bothered to appreciate a vast variety of Rock”

I’m 27 and i’ve been listening to Rock since the days of Nirvana. I’ve never liked Oasis. IMO their music is bland and monotonous. Even if there were enough people buying their CD’s to make them the so-called “Best Act in the World in 2006″, we are now in 2009 (three years later if my maths are correct)

As for Snow Patrol, i would not mind seeing them live, BUT not at a gig like Cokefest (in the same way i would not mind seeing Norah Jones live, BUT not at cokefest.

In the past Cokefest featured hard-hitting, awe-inspiring, andrenalin-pumping rock and metal bands. That’s why everyone keeps refering to Metallica, Muse and Korn.

If i could i would invite these bands to Cokefest:
Metallica (yes, again and again, and especially now after the release of Death Magnetic)
Incubus
Red hot Chilli Peppers
Sum 41
Audioslave
Breaking Benjamin
Chevelle
Pearl Jam
Placebo
Sick Puppies

Then to add some extra flavor:
Nightwish
Within Temptation
Lacuna Coil
Kamelot
Epica
Rammstein
Sonata Arctica
Diablo Swing Orchestra

And for the Supporting SA Bands
Fokofpolisiekar
The Narrow
Not My Dog
Prime Circle
Bed On Bricks

Some of the “Extra Flavour” bands i mentioned above have been around since the early 90’s and feature a much deeper musical experience than the whiney Gallagher brothers. If any of them are unknown to you, look them up and give them a listen, it may change your definition of “A vast variety of Rock”

I won’t be going to Cokefest this year, as i’ll be going down to Underberg in Natal for the Splashy Fen music festival, which is on the same weekend. (except, it’s 4 days long instead of just 1, and I won’t have to deal with rediculous overcrowding or insanely expensive and inaccessible food and drink)
There may not be any international bands playing, but at least I KNOW it’s going to be awesome just like the previous 4 times that i went.

Grow up… wait 4 – 6 weeks for the next announcement and then bitch if you don’t like the bands (or rather don’t because it actually pisses eveyone off)… until then shut the hell up.

Who actually gives a shit if this year Coke and Big Concerts have brought bands that YOU don’t like… You do not constitute 100% of this country’s music purchasing and listening population… (In fact I’m starting to think that you that complain consitute 100% of this country’s ignorance for music population)
For pete’s sake but not everyone likes In flames or As I lay dying or Trivium or whoever else you would rather have there this year…
Its called diversity…
And yes, a hard metal band would be a fantastic addy to the lineup but if not… well.. its a great awesome party anyway!

@Sarah…we aren’t desputing that Oasis are the “Greatest(gayest) band on the planet” we are saying they are not rock enough for a ROCK concert. And no they aren’t rock love, they are cock. They are weak and old and whiney. If I wanted a washed up bunch of old bastards on stage, I’d have asked for Marilyn Manson. At least they might rock. When have you heard Oasis on a S.A Radio station in the last 10 years, maybe cause I only listen to stations like Tuks…I can’t recall hearing them.

Oasis is a Rock band. And the fact they don’t run around the stage screaming and abusing their instruments does not make them any less than that.

There are different types of rock young lad, soon you will realise this and learn to live with it.

The sponsors have clearly decided to explore a different avenue here and its cool, if you don’t like it go slide around in the mud at Splashy.

And, until you can form a band, get up on stage and sing (or yell) to massive crowds and sell millions of albums and make ridiculous amounts of money stop complaining.

In comparison with other years, this year is by far this most dissapointing. Why raise expectations (by making fans vote for their bands) and then puke this crap line up all over us.

Let’s see what most people voted for:
Bullet (they got this one right)
Linkin Park
Slipknot
In Flames (they were voted for a lot)
Disturbed
Breaking Benjamin
Chevelle
Machine Head
Foo Fighters
And the list goes on.

Not once did I see any kind of mentioning of Oasis, Panick at the Disco or Snowpatrol. If these bands were mentioned, then those people should be shot!

Maybe the idiots organising this has ZERO reading skills or maybe they are trying piss us off intentionally or mayby they just don’t give a f#ck.

Think about it so-called CokeFest “organisers”: You just gave more than 2000 people a very good excuse not to give you money. You f#cked up this show 2 months before it started.

Francois, don’t get so upset bro, the lineup is not complete. Snow patrol is a damn good live band, you’ll be amazed!

As for your list of death metal bands, don’t you reckon that by trying so hard to be so death you render yourself just another stereotype?

Diversity of quality is key, from goldfish to metallica, the important element is quality. I must say, Metallica rocked so hard when they were here, what spoilt things were the fans who boo’d the likes of Collective Soul and the Rasmus!

We’re supposed to be the most tolerant nation in the world given our past, there is no space for bigotry or uni-dimensional thinking!

So, let’s all get together, smoke some good twak, laught a little and be thankful that some of the best bands in the world are paying us a visit!

OK, so last year I went to Coke fest to see KoRn. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that they only played an hour. Headliner bands usually play at least 2 hours. So all in all Coke Fest as a whole is a bit of a disappointment. This line up doesn’t appeal to me but then again it’s my choise not to go. I honestly thought that after the delay in announcing the lineup that at least they would announce a band like Linkin Park for example.

Well well well, i add my dissapointment to the list. not to diss oasis or snow patrol, but this is NOT what south african rockers want! these bands are fine for a day time, semi-rock, bring granny along festival. we want the offensive, the brutal, the best the hard rock/ heavy metal world can offer!
I say BOYCOTT this even and show them we will not stand for it!
but sadly there are still too many sissy posers that will say ‘ah! what a great lineup- lets go and get pissed on cider!’

SPREAD THE WORD, DONT GO, STICK IT TO THE MAN, LET THEM KNOW THIS IS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR GOOD ENOUGH!

This is the only way these kids know how to protest… whining and carrying on until someone gets ear ache and gives in. Stop complaining, please, its not helping.

Put your ipod on and sit in your rooms where you belong and let the mature people enjoy their concert ok? Maybe you can come to Cokefest next year when your better attitude has developed.

I never thought the ppl who listened to hard rock could moan so much like cry babies(and emo kids). Deal with it like Oasis and don’t give a f#ck. Grow up, all these bands have sold millions of albums and sold out concerts worldwide. By the way, Korn was good last year for the “few” thousand that actually stayed behind (I was one of them). All the SA bands, good luck…looking forward to seeing local talent on the BIG stage.

Pity you couldn’t bring Obama. I think SA should have a hard rock concert but Coke please don’t associate yourself with bands like Slipknot ect. Im sure some other brand will read all the high pitched moaning hard rockers of SA’s, voices in here and come calling to there needs. By the way, my Dad is upset Deep Purple aren’t coming…I told him to grow up and get over it.

That is the way to identify them, the stupid emos and metal head losers. They always say “This line up sucks except for BULLET”.
Its like their mental comprehension of music hasn’t moved past their retarded 11 year old brains. But it’s okay because we are all going to have a great time while they sit in their rooms and cry themselves to sleep… except for the 50% of those “not coming” who will come anyway.

@mandy and all the other anti-metal whinners..

you complain about ppl complain what does that make you …… stop your whining..
this is a free democratic society….we have the right to complain..
i’m a metal head, not a emo.. if you knew anything about metal heads and emo’s you would know we hate each other…..and yes this line up does suck, even bullet sucks….
think back to last couple of coke fests… metallica muse korn etc.. now we have oasis.. i’m not saying they not good, i’m say to me they not worth the price of the ticket.. and that is our major complaint.. we want a heavyier rock band..
the other thing mandy last year they had a total of 7 sa bands on the line up this year only 2 have been announced??? why sa bands would love to play at the feastival and their are some awesome bands here..why have they not announced them yet..

you say we retarded 11 years old… well i for one have a above avg IQ and suprising enough metal heads in genral have the highest IQ avg out of all music listeners…. and as to 11 years old um i’m probly old enough to be your father… you sound like one of those “retarded 11 whiners ” you so like to whine about so stop whining let us have our say….

we whining because we disipionted in the line up.. and we want to make sure we are heard…

if you dont like go home and cry
so what if you going..
i’m just waiting to what trick coca-cola/big concerts/5Fm have up there sleave before i make a comment to if i’m comming or not, as most ppl are.
but sofar i’m not whih mean my money wil be better saved to get those nice dj head-phones i’m after…….

i am i lover of music and have every thing from bump.. through to clapton and jimi hendrix, to faith and the muse and dairy of dreams.. to slipknot and dimmu borgir its a vast collection…
have hip hop and rock metal and club.. but that said i dont like personally the line up.. i’m not a huge fan of the bands comming here… i would love to see lordi (winners of eurovision 2007 best new band )in the line up.
and rammestien and slipknot to me that would be a awesome show but i have no illusions to them been here….
but seen we are talking about rock fest.. iwouldnt mind good old marylin manson to pay us a visit. or maybe through in a little ounk and get wolfmother or pennywise or green day..
maybe a bit of clutch,
or seen we’ve had evanecinse how about fly-leaf..
their are more awesome bands out there that would really please the die hard metal heads… and also the genral rockers… without offending anybody…
as for local bands why not have the narrow , the awakening, the ragdolls reburn, and choas , and some othe local tallent that are up their that would be able to support a good line up of international bands..

No Cobus, the overwhelming MINORITY are upset. And thats okay because itll make no difference in terms of numbers at the Fest.

Actually we just have poor musical taste, or we don’t know (or care) about good music.

If the real music lovers could have their say, we would probably all be taken out to the musical shack and shot.

Matt | Feb 5, 2009 | Reply
We should probably just end it all now, because we have no grasp on what good music actually is. I mean, these bands are on the RADIO!!! God forbid. That is the most unholy of atrocities. It doesn’t matter that most of the bands have been around for years before getting a break, and actually have a fan base outside of radio listeners.

Hell it doesn’t even matter if I play the guitar, have been in 3 bands, 2 of which have had singles on the radio, that I’ve dedicated years of my life to driving all over this country playing crap shows.

No. What matters is that I like the Cokefest lineup. And that is just the apex of wrong.

Missing this gig would be no loss to me (as the line-up stands) I could not care less if 40 000 people want to go and waste their money, I will hold onto mine for something worth while. I actually have a backbone, unlike some. I think with my own mind and am not influenced in the slightest, people in this country need to stop jumping like starving animals for the scraps!
if they have even two really good bands, id be all in. even one ‘out of this world’ band, i might think it worth my time. I have seen snow patrol live, and yes, it is ‘good music’ but it is not enough, yes bring the ACDC,bring the In Flames.. give us something we would never see normally?! We want the real thing, and if we all go along with it like drones.. they get the only thing they care about.. your hard earned money.
If you would spend R600 to just see snow patrol or any of the other bands, then great, i am glad you are getting something out of it! so to all who go, good luck. for those who dont, I salute you..

HEY GUYS. I’VE BEER READING ALL THESE COMMENTS AND I JUST WANNA INFORM EVERYONE THAT I HAPPEN TO KNOW ONE OF THE ORGANIZERS OF COKE FEST AND YEAH ACDC IS HAVING A SHOW ON THE 14TH, BUT CONSIDERING THE HUGE AMOUNT OF VOTES FOR THEM THEY HAVE AGREED TO PLAY THE JOBURG SHOW, THEY WILL BE HEADLING.
AS FOR CAPE TOWN, THERE WILL BE ANOTHER AWESOME BAND PERFORMING THERE THAT WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON MONDAY.

Not a f**k Mel! I’m driving from EL to Cape Town, ACDC is one of my best bands, holy crap, if they only play at Joburg I’ll be mightily depressed.

Unless the guns n roses are announced for Cape Town, then I’m back in business!

I HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT GUNS N ROSES FOR CAPE TOWN BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T MAKE IT THE PREVIOUS TIME, BUT I’M NOT SURE, THEY WON’T TELL.

I GUESS THEN I’D HAVE TO GO TO BOTH COZ I LUV GUNS N ROSES AS WELL!

WELL I DON’T GIVE A SHIT IF A BAND IS OVERATED, THEY STILL MADE AWESOME MUSIC IN THEIR TIME AND IT IT STILL WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE THEM LIVE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE!
I’M REALLY GETTING SICK OF EVERYONE TRYING TO SOUND LIKE MUSIC EXPERTS, IF A BAND IS GOOD AND YOU LIKE IT THEN AWESOME FOR YOU, BUT DON’T PUT OTHER BANDS DOWN THAT DON’T APPEAL TO YOU! WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT ANYONE THINKS!

Don’t get caught up in bureaucracy.

The guns n roses are one of the greatest and most inspiring acts of mayhem ever.

Chinese Demoracy is a cooking album, just listen to Catcher in the Ryhe, one of the best rock songs in years! Who cares whose making the songs, still sounds just like old gunners, and still makes me wanna go off my head!

YEAH IT’S THE GREAT SONGS THAT LAST FOREVER!
THERE’S NOTHING I ENJOY MORE THAN GOOD MUSIC, IT’S MY LIFE!
AND EVERYONE IS PUTTING DOWN OASIS, THEY MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD OR THE HARDEST ROCKING BAND BUT WONDERWALL IS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME AND I’M GONNA LOVE ACTUALLY HEARING THEM SING IT RATHER THAN ON RADIO OR ON THE CD. IT’S GONNA BE AWESOME!
SO I DON’T REALLY CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY, EVERY YEAR THE COKE FEST HAS THESE LEGENDARY BANDS AND IT MIGHT NOT BE EVERYONE’S FAVE BAND BUT IT’S STILL GONNA BE INSANE! AND OASIS IS STILL SOME PEOPLE’S FAVE BAND, SO HEY LET’S BE STOKED FOR THEM

Mel | Feb 6, 2009 | Reply
HEY DON’T GET ALL PERSONAL ON ME, I’M JUST SAYING THAT MOST PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM IS CRITISIZING EVERYTHING, TO DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER IS A GOOD THING, WE CAN’T ALL LIKE THE SAME MUSIC. ALL I’M SAYING IS PEOPLE SHOULD STOP MAKING EVERYTHING SO PERSONAL.

BUT LET’S NOT WRITE OFF SNOW PATROL, THEY HAVE SOME PRETTY GOOD SONGS AS WELL AND APPARENTLY THEY PUT ON A GREAT PERFORMANCE.

Mel | Feb 6, 2009 | Reply
I’m not putting any of them off. I’ve been waiting for Panic to get here for 3 years. From what i hear and have seen on videos, they’re pretty good live.

I think it’s a pretty good line up.

ryro | Feb 6, 2009 | Reply
YEAH I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FEST, AND I HAVE BEEN SURPRISED BEFORE WITH BANDS THAT I’M NOT PERSONALLY A FAN OF BUT PUT UP SUCH AN AWESOME SHOW, BANDS ARE ALWAYS BETTER LIVE THAN ON A CD, THERE’S JUST SO MUCH ENERGY AND THE VIBE AT THE FEST IS JUST GREAT!
IT’S THE BEST WAY TO CELEBRATE GREAT MUSIC, GETTING TOGETHER WITH SOME FRIENDS AND FELLOW MUSIC LOVERS AND HAVE A FEW DRINKS

WHO DO YOU GUYS WANT FOR THE OTHER INTERNATIONAL BANDS?

@Mel the answers to your question:

I would be the most happy if Kings of Leon came!! They are amazing!!

Perhaps The Killers.
Coldplay (not too sure that they would have both Coldplay and Oasis though).
ACDC would be good, don’t know all their stuff but when you’re music legends you’re music legends so to speak:)

In all honesty I hope it’s Kings of Leon, but we’ll see hey:)

On the local side:
aKing
The Narrow
Evolver
Casette

I heard that The Parlatones were actually playing this year! But there are millions of rumours all over the place!! I’ll believe only what I hear from the atual organisers or 5fm:)

Anyway I’m happy, already like the bands that are playing!!! Most people I know have gone with Golden circle tickets-including myself:)

everyone is entitled to an opinion, but to everyone who says/thinks Bullet is in anyway bigger or better than Oasis needs to have their ears and eyes replaced.

you can compare Bullet to Snow Patrol and Panic because they are in the same sort of level, music wise, albiet a different category.

Its not that Oasis are rubbish, their first 2 albums are great and I would like to see them live but for Coke Fest I expect some serious Rock n Roll. Some Metal, something heavier and the only thing that fits the bill so far Is Bullet. Hope whatever bands they announce today are more kick ass.

Im not too happy with the bands yet. The SA bands are okay, but i wish some heavier bands would get a chance to show how much they rock on the big stages. I would really love to see a band like Chromium, Deity’s Muse or Knave on that stage!

The international bands are okay but would think we need a band that will get the crowd a little more into it! but i have a good feeling about the next announced band.
