Alleged Splendour in the Grass 2011 line-up posted on fan forum
Who's saying what
--
Does a dodgy camera phone photo reveal this year's Splendour in the Grass line-up?
UPDATE: In the wake of online speculation following this article's appearance, Splendour organisers have issued a statement to Triple J: "Aside from the alleged artwork looking terrible at this point in time those speculating on (the) line up have got it way wrong."
Member "Sneaker1010", of Splendour in the Grass affiliated website Fasterlouder.com.au, posted a missive on Tuesday via the "Unofiicial Splendour Forum", alongside a blurry image purporting to be this year's Splendour in the Grass line-up.

The blurry image holds a dizzying array of band names, most notably Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Kanye West, The Cure, Sonic Youth, Weezer and The Avalanches. A fanboy's wet dream or the worst camera phone in history?

Cons: A blurry image apropos of nothing on a fan forum; wild speculation; disappointment, tears and loss of integrity.
Pros: TheVine having heard whispers about Arcade Fire and Splendour; the alleged forger paying close attention to Village Sounds/Secret Service bands; frantic excitement for Splendour in the Grass 2011.
(Thanks to reader Tim for the tip).
