Tanklad: Bloodbath in Australia: You're in the mix with DJ Adrian

(This post is divided into two parts, the adventure and photos of the performances! Don't miss out on both!!)

So there was a benefit concert for the bushfires in Victoria and the floods in Queensland. For $75 (AUD), I had a pretty kickass time.

From 12pm to 10:30pm, the Sydney Cricket Ground was filled with bands I both knew and loved and some amazing Aussie bands I ain't ever heard of before. To top it all off, the Sound Relief concert in Melbourne (with a different lineup) synchronized with Sydney to broadcast a live feed of performances during stage changes!

I was stuck in the rear standing section for most of the concert, so I could only see a good view of the stage via huge screens. But it was cool, cuz us Basser boys were rockin' out.

Even though there were lame asses in the crowd like THESE TWO GIRLS SITTING ON THE FLOOR AT THE UPMOST PART OF THE SECTION DURING A PERFORMANCE. FFFFFFFUCK.

But it's cool, after some indirect heckling from us, they ate shit and died.

The Cricket Ground was PACKED. Front standing section seats were sold out within an hour of their release online, and the rear standing tickets were sold out not too long after that.

The weather was amazing during the first third of the concert. Perhaps... too amazing. Guess where I got that nasty sunburn?

Then the weather turned. The temperature dropped AT LEAST 10 degrees and it rained for about half an hour.

Then it was sunny again! AND THEN IT RAINED AGAIN. But it was okay!! Because just as it started to pour The Presets, the last major act (probably the most looked forward to of the show), took the stage! It was AMAZING.

There were some special hosts and appearances, like Kylie Minogue, Prince William, and Prince Hitler.

I really don't have the computer-mouth-words to describe how fun this all was, but you're going to have to believe me, ok? :(

ANYWHO, HERE WAS THE LINEUP. Or the performances that were worth sharing. Not a fan of Coldplay, but how can I not love them when they release ONE HUNDRED PANDA-SIZED BALLOONS into the stadium??

Anyway, if you haven't heard of any of these bands, check them out. They're amazing.

Coldplay (Guess which song they were playing during these photos)
