I know it's not gaming related, but it's definitely newsworthy. Highly critically acclaimed Sigur Ros are going to be playing at Splendour in the Grass at Byron Bay on August 2 and 3.

Tickets:

Regular event ticket - $199.00 (inc gst) + $9.00 (inc gst) booking fee per weekend ticket

Quite an expensive event, but in addition to one of my favourite bands, they also have a full line-up of other awesome musicians:

Devo
Wolfmother
Sigur Ros
The Living End
The Presets
Tricky
Vampire Weekend
Ben Lee
Cold War Kids
The Fratellis
The Wombats
PNAU
Laura Marling
The Vines
The Grates
Operator Please
Band of Horses
Van She
The Panics
Gyroscope
Mstrkrft
Lightspeed Champion
The Brown Birds From Windy Hill
Scribe
The Music
The Gin Club

This should be awesome news to any other Sigur Ros fans around here.

And I'm pretty much 100% confirmed going. Anyone else making the interstate trip?

hopefully. Also, zomg, someone put a picture in my threadline
