The disappointing Sunburst 09 artist lineup

Finally the moment we all been waiting for, Pineapple Concerts had announced it’s Sunburst 09 artist lineup. All hell broke loose as fans got to know about the somewhat disappointing lineup.

At first glance, it looked like more of a Rock The World lineup then Sunburst. Unlike Rock The World, where we could aspect great local acts, Sunburst was suppose to be the event that brings some of the biggest, international acts, playing side by side with regional superstars and home grown local talent from Malaysia.

However, the announced lineup does not holds up to people’s expectation as people are expecting to be more then the last Sunburst. With only N.E.R.D as the only international artist headlining the event, people are starting to resell their early bird tickets.

There are some conflicting lineup post from Junk’s online blog and KLue’s blog. Nidji, Agrikulture, Andra And The Backbone and Sixx were mentioned on both blog post as confirmed regional acts, however Junk put in Maliq and D’Essentials on the list too. On local acts lineup, both of the post confirmed Butterfingers (minus Loque), Joe Flizzow, Gerhana Ska Cinta, Estranged, Meet Uncle Hussain, Bunkface, Estrella, Pesawat, Otherside Orchestra and They Will Kill Us All, while KLue mentioned Hujan, Dead Mushroom and Malique.

Here is me being optimistic, I don’t think that all mentioned line up could fill up 6 stage in 12 hours slot, it is still more then a month to Sunburst 09 and anything could happen. They are sill no promotions on radio or TV yet. I hope Pineapple Concerts will surprise us.

Watch this blog post for updates.

Updates: Pineapple Conserts had announced a couple of new acts for Sunbutrst 09. KoRn, Erykah Badu, Skye and Naturally 7 were among the new additions to the international acts lineup.

I can’t actually believe that one day I would see KoRn in Malaysia. I was a fan during my school years. It’s bloody KoRn man!
