Splendour 2011

The 2011 Splendour in the Grass lineup was released early this morning in a typical Triple J hype fanfare. Such was the hype, that they forgot to ask themselves one simple thing. Is the lineup really that good? I know James Blake is fresh and there are some amazing bands like Jane's, The Mars Volta, Shadow, Mogwai etc, But is there enough gold to fill 3 days and justify the price? I'll let you decided, All know is it's a pretty good lineup, Good because i won't have to fork out lots of money to go all the way too Woodfordia this year.
