I saw Futureheads WAY back when opening for Franz Ferdinand. They were pretty good. But their last couple records haven't been all that great.

I saw them at Splendour in '05 (I think it was). I thought they were pretty boring

Their appearance on Later! with Jools at around the same time confirmed this opinion

Are Little Red aiming to break some sort of record by playing every festival in Australia within the shortest time span?
