[DJ B.K.]

Souns awesome, but didn't you have a thread on this before.

 

[Western Deity]

The only update worth mentioning is the addition of Slug to the "full tour". And still AC/DC... Ugh...

 

[Roo6339]

ac/dc are not going. they were going to, but they are recording in january and so can't do the big day out tour. green day are rumoured to be going though... i really really want to go to this years big day out... but i doubt i can... which really sucks because i like a LOT of those bands...

 

[absolutely_lost_86]

ohhhhhh oops sorry i did do this thread b4. yeh there is tonnes of great bands. hey roo, do u know who is headlining?

cincy warrior POD R recording

 

[KristianJ]

I doubt that Green Day would come over for BDO since they're gonna be over here in early March for a tour. And from what I heard, there might be a good chance that Powderfinger might be headlining. The list is still not quite interesting enough for me to want to go though.

 

[Roo6339]

powderfinger headlining? that'd be a disappointment... i like them and all, but they're not exactly the biggest band on the list or anything...

and no, i don't know who is... i look forward to finding out though.

 

[KristianJ]

yeah, I agree...the headliners need to be massive as far as I'm concerned, and international. And IMO the bands already locked in aren't quite as internationally huge as a headlining act should be.

 

[Roo6339]

ok... i just got the newsletter... turns out the beastie boys are the headliners... i was expecting better... but ah well...

 

[heavenliejediofthebeach]

I want to go!!

 

[Roo6339]

me too! but it's on a sunday... so i doubt my parents'll let me... maybe i can ask if i can go after church...

 

[absolutely_lost_86]

i hope powderfinger arnt headlining, they might be a headlineing band but not 4 big day out. im really disapointed AC/DC rnt coming. they might tour next year coz its bon scotts 25th anniversary siunce his death.. SYDNEY IS SOLD OUT. I GOT MY TIX, WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO.

 

[Roo6339]

beastie boys are headlining...
