Oh shit, I put the Judean People's Front...

See my post directly above yours! By the way Australia Post just threw mine over the fence so no signature required, unfortunately box was a bit worse for wear...




#5 for us too and first...

My weekend 2 package was waiting for me when I got home last night so surely yours can't be far away

oh.kamikaze, I managed to track down the other place that responded, they were called Lodge Oka (naebaoka@ybb.ne.jp) but don't know what they are like as didn't bother chasing it up as had already...

Hey oh.kamikaze,

I contacted Lodge Kahiwagi directly via email (oak-lodge@h7.dion.ne.jp), their English isn't the best but they did reply to my emails reasonably quickly and booked us in. It is a...

Ha, got my tracking details for W2 overnight and mine has gone from Austin to San Antonio! But then I looked at a map I realised it wasn't any closer. Dang...

From here...

http://www.coachella.com/festival-info/record-store-day

Can't find anything on the ZIA website listing the releases but they might post this info closer to the day

Sounds like they got all the W1 passes into the US mail system fairly quickly but sending out tracking numbers doesn't seem to be working all that well so I'll see what happens next week when the W2...

Hmm, don't see many UPS trucks in Perth as I think they're fairly new to this market. FedEx would've made me a bit more comfortable as I've had a few things delivered from the US via them relatively...

In case you missed it PF posted in another thread that w1 passes are shipping early next and w2 the following week so this might determine if you need to change to will call. Gives me a couple of...

I contacted them a couple of weeks ago to change to will call and their response was:

"Ticket orders will be sent in early March. If you do not have your order prior to your departure, please let...

Aphxtwinin, apart from the regulars on here who were a great help last year when we went for the first time these guides are also useful.
...

I emailed Frontgate last week asking about changing my weekend 2 order to will call and they replied with:

"Ticket orders will be sent in early March. If you do not have your order prior to your...

Ha, thanks for getting back to me Blue Stapler, had forgotten about that question!

Got excited about Fuji when we saw the dates last week but we're heading back to Coachella so not sure if we'll...

By the way Blue Stapler (or anyone else) did you make it to The Field? I'm interested to find out what the show was like. Probably should've been on my 'regret missing' list but 3am was never going...

Finally got around to adding my highlights, had a great first Fuji Rock experience so hopefully we can make it next year.

Best Friday act
Stone Roses for me, major nostalgia factor here as last...

Well, Fuji Rock was a blast. We left absolutely shattered but had an awesome time. Thanks for all those who posted advice on here, it certainly made life easier for us Fuji novices. But now we have...

Went to a Four Tet/Caribou show last year and thought Four Tet were a bit boring but Caribou were great live so they're a definite for me. Didn't think they'd be able to pull off their songs live but...

Yikes, sounds like it is going to be fairly packed. Went to buy our train tickets the other day and bought reserved seats for the trip there no worries but coming back on Monday they said we couldn't...

Looking at the festival's history the most they've had was 131,000 in 2006, anyone know what the capacity is? Kind of makes me worried that queues this year are going to be bad, especially trying to...

Thanks for the link, I was really hoping there would be a schedule somewhere that listed the stages for each day side by side rather than a long list, makes life a bit easier.



That's cool,...

Haven't really mapped out a proper daily schedule yet but it will tentatively revolve around this but happy for suggestions:

Fri - Django Django -> The Gossip -> Stone Roses (The Field, being...

Thanks for the YouTube links, we're definitely keen to check out some local acts but after they added a whole heap more the other day it became a lot more daunting trying to research who to check out...

Looks like Radiohead are starting to postpone shows after last weekend's tragic accident. At the moment Fuji is still going ahead but I'm guessing that we'll see a reduced stage show as a lot of...

Sunday became a bit more interesting...

http://pitchfork.com/news/46796-radiohead-hints-at-jack-white-collaboration/

This is all great advice for Fuji/Japan novices like ourselves!

While we're on the subject are there any shops in Naeba itself or should we make sure we've got our supplies before we get there? I...

I'm wondering whether my Sunday plan of Explosions -> Jack White -> Shins -> Radiohead might be a bit ambitious...

Oh, so the Planet Groove/Tribal Circus/Sunday Session list refers to those that play after the Red Marquee headliner? Dang, I had them pegged for an earlier time so looks like my 'must see' list just...

Yeah, after comparing the lineups for other years my list of 'must sees' is definitely shorter than I was hoping for, but I guess I should look on the bright side knowing that I won't have many...

Yeah, real anti-climax after all that waiting, I think I might've even have preferred Van Halen and that's really saying something!!

Fujirockers said "There have been 106 acts announced for FRF...

I agree spu001, negotiations with a bigger name probably fell through and they had to make a quick decision. But one album (I'm not including Oasis because I think he's mainly playing solo stuff) and...

And of course let the Oasis headlining speculation begin!

Although at Coachella both Morrissey and Marr played on the same weekend without a Smiths reunion...

Fuji rockers tweeted "Noel said in Osaka, he will be back to Japan for Fuji Rock. Isn't it great? You know who we are talking about?"

I would've thought a Gallagher brother would only agree to...

Not sure what to make of this, they certainly haven't figured on my list of potential 3rd headliners. Although having said that if they bring a big show with them it could be quite...

With each new announcement I'm kinda resigning myself to this and that they're not going to announce a big name for Saturday that's going to blow me away. Although might work in my favour as after...

Dang, got my hopes up when I saw the new announcement on their website.

They really know how to drag this lineup out but I gather they do this every year...

The Fujirockers blog has now started to speculate about the lack of Saturday headliner. Not sure if they have any inside information (they do have a link from the official site) but they're also...

That last announcement seemed to say that Saturday is the 'legends' day so maybe they are still negotiating with someone in that category! I think the Beach Boys with Brian Wilson are playing some...

Looks like they've finally split the lineup into days so let the real conjecture begin! They've also added some more bands but I think they might all be locals so not sure what they're like. Blue...

The Pollstar listing for Fuji has Refused playing on Sunday so could they be that other band as they seem to fit in that sequence?

http://www.pollstar.com/resultsVenue.aspx?ID=57752&SearchBy=naeba

I thought this was referring to The Presets but looks like something completely different!

Splendour in the Grass are releasing their full lineup on Thursday so I'm guessing we can expect more...

Oops a daisy, I've been reading it as 3 separate lists (for Fri, Sat and Sun) alphabetically from top to bottom! Thanks spu001 even though I now feel like a bit of a stooge!

The Lineup page has them listed under Friday with Radiohead on Sunday or should we not take too much notice of the way bands are listed at this stage. If they are on the same day and Spiritualized...

Stoked for Spiritualized as they were on my wish list, they tend to miss Perth when they tour Oz so really looking forward to seeing J Spaceman again.

Haven't heard of Django Django but looks like they'll be making an appearance at Fuji Rock before Splendour.

http://www.noise11.com/news/django-django-to-play-splendour-in-the-grass-20120318

It appears that tweet was spot on as they're all on the lineup on the official page that is now up and running, including Jack White.

Still no third headliner, thought they might be telling us...

Glad I got my accommodation booked early as sounds like a big year for Fuji Rock. Our first Fuji experience so can't wait! Don't want to take any chances with tickets so will be getting my...

Oops, forgot to mention that it is an international flight so need to be at Narita a couple of hours before. I think we should be OK as long as we're up and out of there reasonably early so might...

Does anyone have any experience with leaving Fuji Rock by train on the Monday the fest finishes? Current plan has us flying out of Narita at 5:30pm on Monday 30th July but now worried there will be...

I think I've gone on holiday by mistake...
