RAW: Big Day Out 2nd Line-Up For Adelaide Announced

As always, the BIG DAY OUT is ever evolving. We continue to support local musicians, DJ’s and artists in every city, making each BIG DAY OUT a unique experience.

It’s not just about bands. Hitting the custom built 40 foot Big Day Out touring skate ramp will be some of the hottest skaters on the planet right now. Plus, thanks to our partners Motorola, we also have one of the largest inflatable waterslides in the known universe – the Motoslide! Both will be featured in all cities so bring your togs, bikinis and kneepads, as you are in for a wet and bumpy ride. There is always more to explore at the Big Day Out.

The Big Day Out prides itself on presenting the best, most outstanding artists in the world, and our second round of acts is no exception.

There are plenty of debut artists joining the BDO circus, from the never compromising Noel Gallagher, to the thunderous Nero performing live in Australia for the first time. From Brazil’s Cavalera Conspiracy, to the UK’s newest rock darlings, The Vaccines, there are plenty of new pieces to complete the BDO puzzle.

So let’s roll out the second round of artists to complete the picture:

NOEL GALLAGHER’S HIGH FLYING BIRDS
NERO (LIVE) THE VACCINES BASSNECTAR
CAVALERA CONSPIRACY
REGURGITATOR
DRAPHT
KIMBRA
BLUEJU!CE
TONITE ONLY
ABBE MAY
SHOCKONE
HONEY PIES (triple j Unearthed Winner)

For our 20th year we have chosen to rebuild the Adelaide Showgrounds event from the ground up, with a goal of recapturing the magic of early Big Day Out shows. We are excited the bands are into the idea and we know you will be too.

One main stage, no D barricade, Skating & Skate stage in the main arena, Green stage, Boiler Room, Giant Water Slide, Show ‘N’ Shine and much, much more! Plus it’s now a little cheaper than the East Coast Shows, with booking fees included.

However, the need to reduce from two to one main stage in Adelaide also means several acts from the first announcement will not be able to perform in Adelaide.

Unfortunately The Living End, Mariachi El Bronx and Kanye West will not be appearing at the Adelaide Big Day Out and we thank them for their help, support and understanding.

This means for Adelaide it will be:


NOEL GALLAGHER’S HIGH FLYING BIRDS, NERO (LIVE), THE VACCINES, BASSNECTAR, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, REGURGITATOR, DRAPHT, KIMBRA, BLUEJU!CE, ABBE MAY, TONITE ONLY, SHOCKONE plus TRIPLE J UNEARTHED WINNER, HONEY PIES.

Who will now be joining:


SOUNDGARDEN, KASABIAN, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, HILLTOP HOODS, BATTLES, ODD FUTURE, GIRL TALK, PARKWAY DRIVE, RÖYKSOPP, FOSTER THE PEOPLE, THE JEZABELS, ARCHITECTURE IN HELSINKI, THE GETAWAY PLAN, CAGE THE ELEPHANT, FRENZAL RHOMB, BOY & BEAR and BEST COAST.

Plus the TONY HAWK BDO VERT JAM lineup has now been confirmed and we are stoked to announce that joining Tony Hawk will be vertical visionaries: Kevin Staab, Sandro Diaz, Jesse Fritsch and Neal Hendrix.

Also shredding up the Big Day Out ramp are the newly formed international dream team The Kings of Vert featuring Elliot Sloan, Alex Perelson, Renton Millar, Juergen Horwarth and Sam Beckett.Hold on, there’s more! Here come the LEGENDS OF VERT featuring Trevor Ward, Mick Mullhall, RJ Barbaro, Nathan “Jimmy” Beck and Adam Luxford who skated at the very first 1992 Big Day Out.

Of course the full picture is not complete without playing times, which are looking great and will be in your hot little hands soon. We are making them available ASAP and you can log into www.bigdayout.com to build your own timetable and share with your friends via Facebook.
