Have a look at Flameswin's post, it's pretty apparent our Vfest had nowhere near the talent of some of the others. Maybe it's my taste in music, but I was pretty disappointed with what came.

I dunno about that, I went to Vfest in Sydney this year and their headliners were the Killers and Snowpatrol... not much to write home about. The plus was you could drink anywhere you wanted, but I still had to shell out $100 for it, and it was only a one day thing.
Big Day Out this year wasn't too great either, I can't even remember who was headlining, but I remember no even considering buying a ticket after I saw the lineup.
Just depends on the year I think.
