‘Well I’m obviously going, you think I’d change that just because of who’s playing?’ asked a bewildered Taylor (19).

It is believed that Taylor is aware of the artists, likes a lot of them, but is afraid to express this due to the division shown by opinions on the announcement post.

‘I just don’t know whether I should be responding negatively or positively when people ask me what I think of the lineup.’

One of the criticisms that has been raised by almost 400 punters on the Triple J announcement post is that the festival features many acts that have been recycled from previous years. However, in an investigation conducted by The Obiter’s in-house demographers revealed that the majority of people who have ‘love’ reacted such comments cannot recall the entirety of the 3-day festival.

We asked Taylor if this was a pressing issue.

‘Oh I don’t actually care about seeing an act again I just want more variety so I have more artists I can tell people I’ve seen live.’

A commenter asking, ‘When are they announcing the headliners?’ has garnered over 1000 reactions but not a single person able to inform him that they announced the headliners at 8am on the 31st of August.

Triple J spokesperson Thomas Tillian has released the following statement,

‘It’s cooked, they’re complaining it’s the same as the Splendour lineup minus some big names but do you know how hard it is to convince artists to fly halfway around the world to play at a glorified bush-doof at the best of times? Let alone when it’s pushing 40 degrees Celsius!’

The punters are hoping there is more (act announcements) to come.
