\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello all and welcome to the Big Day Out.<\/p>\n

Yikes \u2026 20 years of Handcrafted Festivals, no one saw that happening in 1992.<\/p>\n

A milestone rarely achieved by any festival will become reality for us when we stage our 20th year of BDO festivals.<\/p>\n

Big Day Out was created to level the playing field and prove that the title \u2018alternative\u2019 didn\u2019t stop music from being popular. It has now changed the local musical landscape forever, growing from its ambitious, chaotic beginnings to evolve into the largest travelling festival in the world complete with all the highs and lows of a roller coaster.<\/p>\n

So beyond the statistics and the history it is what the BDO stands for that will enable us to continue to deliver world-class events. Shows that will stand the test of time and continue to reflect both musically and culturally as a backdrop to peoples\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n

In short, you\u2019ve got to know where you\u2019re from to know where you\u2019re going\u2026<\/p>\n

Our goal is always to deliver the ultimate platform for artists to play to huge crowds alongside some of the most important acts in the world, to the best audiences in the world.<\/p>\n

Looking back to the first BDO in Sydney in 1991 we announced only 2 acts and skating and sold 52 tickets the first day. Last year we announced 41 acts and sold 52,000 tickets in an hour.<\/p>\n

So for the 20th year of BDO we thought we should pull things back a bit and meet in the middle by announcing 20 acts plus the return of first-class skating for our first round on offer.<\/p>\n

Our second big announcement of over 20 acts will be heading your way in 5 weeks time.<\/p>\n

We believe these shows will be wonderful events, uplifting, spectacular and above all, fun. It\u2019s meant to be fun, enjoy.<\/p>\n

Ken West & Viv Lees<\/p>\n

KANYE WEST
\n<\/strong>Who\u2019s rewritten the rulebook of popular music? A controversial, outspoken, acclaimed hip-hop visionary: the man is KANYE WEST<\/strong>, and the only place to see him in Australia and New Zealand in 2012 is at BIG DAY OUT.<\/strong> Stronger, Jesus Walks, Touch the Sky, Gold Digger, Heartless<\/em>\u2026 WEST<\/strong> drops immortal singles like clocks drop minutes. But his 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy <\/em>was also his coming-of-age as a live performer: <\/strong>\u201cWEST<\/strong> delivered <\/em>a grandiose, theatrical performance destined to be remembered as one of the great hip-hop sets of all time\u201d (Hollywood Reporter).<\/em> After reuniting with his old mate and collaborator Jay-Z for 2011\u2019s Watch the Throne,<\/em> an album partly recorded in Australia, WEST<\/strong> will again begin a new phase down under this summer. Can he get much higher? Keep an eye on the sky as KANYE WEST<\/strong> soars into BIG DAY OUT 2012 (ALL SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

SOUNDGARDEN
\n<\/strong>When BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> was born 20 years ago, a new wave of music was emerging from the American north-west. At the crest of that wave was one of the most incendiary heavy rock bands of our time: SOUNDGARDEN<\/strong>. \u00a0It\u2019s been fifteen years since they last graced our shores and the first time since 1997 SOUNDGARDEN<\/strong> will again play outside of the USA! Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd \u2013 the Seattle foursome known as SOUNDGARDEN<\/strong> have chosen the BIG DAY OUT <\/strong>to mark their triumphant return to the international stage and we are thrilled to welcome them back. \u201cThis is one reunited band that can pick up right where it left off\u201d (New York Times). <\/em>SOUNDGARDEN<\/strong> played their first BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> in 1994 \u2013 the year the seminal Superunknown<\/em> was unleashed. In 1997, they returned for seconds, only to split up in February of that year. Now, 2012 will bring a brand new album and the group\u2019s long-awaited return down under. Those who were there the first time, and for those who only know the legend, BIG DAY OUT <\/strong>presents the one, the only: SOUNDGARDEN (ALL SHOWS)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

KASABIAN
\n<\/strong>KASABIAN<\/strong> aren\u2019t the type of band to make promises they can\u2019t keep. So, when they sing, \u201cHit me, harder! I\u2019m getting rewired. I flick the switch that makes you feel electric, even faster than before\u2026\u201d you know they\u2019re heading back to make BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> electric. The Leicester lads have swaggered into BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> twice before, but never this well armed. Their setlist is now wall-to-wall killers \u2013 Club Foot, Empire, Shoot the Runner, Fire, LSF<\/em> \u2026 and the power-pop-stormin\u2019-electro-psychedelic-rock\u2019n\u2019roll of their brand new album, Velociraptor!<\/em> As Pizzorno says: \u201cAny other band, anyone else in the world, has got to move out the way.\u201d <\/strong>Heck, only one band inspires headlines like this anymore: \u201cNew York Police Department tell KASABIAN<\/strong> to \u2018turn the volume down\u2019\u201d (NME, September 2011). <\/em>Alert the authorities. KASABIAN<\/strong> are flicking the switch: BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> is about to get loud (ALL SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
\n<\/strong>Pull the pin \u2013 MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE<\/strong>\u2019s return to BIG DAY OUT <\/strong>is going to be explosive! After 2006\u2019s game-changing rock opera The Black Parade,<\/em> MCR<\/strong> went into hyperdrive, creating a dystopian, disco-punk future with 2010\u2019s image-shattering Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys<\/em>. \u201cMCR<\/strong> proved there’s hope for rock\u2019n\u2019roll with Danger Days<\/em>,\u201d said Artist Direct,<\/em> \u201cand with more live shows like this they could save the world.\u201d <\/em>As much theatre as live rock show, the MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE<\/strong> experience is summed up best in their song Planetary (Go!):<\/em> \u201cIf my velocity starts to make you sweat, then just don\u2019t let go!\u201d Hold on tight: MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE<\/strong> are coming to wield their sonic superpowers at BIG DAY OUT 2012 (ALL SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE LIVING END
\n<\/strong>Leading the Aussie charge onto the battlefields of BIG DAY OUT 2012<\/strong> are THE LIVING END <\/strong>and our troops couldn\u2019t be in more capable hands.\u00a0 This will mark the band\u2019s fifth appearance on the national tour and it\u2019s safe to say Chris Cheney, Scott Owen and Andy Strachan have well and truly solidified their place in the annals of the BDO since their first showing in 1999. Evidently the trio have also made a huge impact on a national scale having landed the No. 4 on Triple J\u2019s Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time with their self titled debut album. With their sixth album, The End is Just the Beginning Repeating, <\/em>in tow the boys are set to write another, darker chapter to their legacy with what they state is their most honest album to date. It\u2019s no holds barred this time around, with THE LIVING END <\/strong>set to lay it bare. Make sure you pack your social conscience and your mosh pit stamina in to your survival packs, as we welcome back these BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> favourites (ALL SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

HILLTOP HOODS
\n<\/strong>Rolling Stone Magazine described HILLTOP HOODS<\/strong> as \u201cone of the most defining and influential Australian bands of this decade and the next<\/em>\u201d and we couldn\u2019t agree more. And the accolades don\u2019t stop there with their 2009 masterpiece State of the Art <\/em>being crowned the highest selling Australian hip hop record of all time and 3 ARIA Awards, J and APRA Awards on their mantles, it\u2019s no wonder that HILLTOP HOODS<\/strong> are repeatedly singled out as one of Australia\u2019s hottest live acts by media, industry insiders and fans alike. It\u2019s fitting that BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> welcomes the country\u2019s greatest hip hop act Back Once Again<\/em> to the 20th<\/sup> Anniversary stage (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

BATTLES
\n<\/strong>First BATTLES<\/strong> re-imagined rock, creating innovative, ear-warping soundscapes with body-jerking beats. Now, \u201cthis phenomenal live band\u201d (NME) <\/em>have re-imagined themselves \u2013 and BATTLES<\/strong> Version 2.0 will put the Oh.My.God into BIG DAY OUT 2012<\/strong>. The New York trio \u2013 guitar and keys men Ian Williams and Dave Konopka, with anchoring force John Stanier on drums \u2013 dropped highly anticipated second album Gloss Drop<\/em> in 2011, their instrumental math-rock complexity matching wits with sublime guest vocalists (Gary Numan, anyone?). While much has changed, one thing remains the same: BATTLES<\/strong> are \u201ca thrilling live proposition\u201d (The Fly). <\/em>See them capture chaos in a bottle at BIG DAY OUT 2012 (ALL SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

ODD FUTURE
\n<\/strong>WOLF GANG! WOLF GANG! WOLF GANG! When we saw this LA hip hop collective tear up the stages at the 2011 SXSW Festival earlier this year, we knew they had to be a part of the 2012 BIG DAY OUT.\u00a0 (ALL SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

MARIACHI EL BRONX
\n<\/strong>Hola! Bienvenidos a BIG DAY OUT 2012<\/strong>! Slap on a sombrero and take a ride to the magical place where Mexican mariachi music meets punk rock \u2013 the place known as MARIACHI EL BRONX.<\/strong> In their hardcore guise they go by the name The Bronx, and for this LA six-piece, \u201cgoing acoustic and dressing in black charro outfits is probably the punkest move they could have taken\u201d (NME). <\/em>Heading our way armed with 2011\u2019s Mariachi El Bronx II,<\/em> their mix of traditional mariachi arrangements and instrumentation with conscious punk lyricism and energy \u201cmight well be the best of all of these things rolled into one bizarre and beautiful ball of effortless jolliness\u201d (clashmusic).<\/em> MARIACHI EL BRONX<\/strong> at BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> this summer? We\u2019ve got a word for it: Ole! (ALL SHOWS)<\/strong><\/p>\n

GIRL TALK
\n<\/strong>One man. One laptop. Hundreds of samples. The ultimate party. When GIRL TALK<\/strong> powers up, BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> will party down. Mash-up king Greg Gillis has spent the last decade putting the fun back on the dancefloor, melding the unexpected \u2013 The Ramones bumping up against Missy Elliot, Lady Gaga getting it on with Soulja Boy \u2013 with one righteous aim: to make you dance. GIRL TALK<\/strong>\u2019s \u201ctrademark on-the-fly additions make each show unique\u2026 By the end of the night, Gillis is a head-banging shirtless sweat machine grinning from ear to ear\u201d (SF Critic).<\/em> In 2010 he melted the internet when his album All Day<\/em> was unleashed as a free download, while in 2012 it\u2019s the Boiler Room he\u2019ll be melting. GIRL TALK<\/strong> makes his welcome return this summer to BIG DAY OUT 2012 (ALL SHOWS)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

PARKWAY DRIVE
\n<\/strong>Blasting out of picturesque Byron Bay, almost as an affront to the serenity of their surrounds, PARKWAY DRIVE<\/strong> quickly established themselves as a formidable force on Australia\u2019s heavy hardcore scene, even more so with the 2010 release of their ARIA Award winning album, Deep Blue<\/em>.\u00a0 A five-piece of awesome power and charisma, Blunt Magazine dubbed them as the band \u201cdestined to be the template heavy bands worldwide pinch<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 If that wasn\u2019t praise enough, Metal Hammer UK said \u201cDeep Blue isn\u2019t just one of the albums of the year, it\u2019s a game-changing contemporary metal album that will be revered for years to come<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 If you\u2019re ready to be blown away, you\u2019re ready for PARKWAY DRIVE<\/strong> at BIG DAY OUT 2012<\/strong> (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

R\u00d6YKSOPP
\n<\/strong>Enter into the unknown with R\u00d6YKSOPP <\/strong>at BIG DAY OUT 2012. <\/strong>Svein Berge and Torbj\u00f8rn Brundtland <\/strong>\u201care architects of an all-encompassing audiovisual experience \u2026 a balanced sonic constellation of bliss\u201d (Urb). <\/em>The Norwegian duo behind songs as infectious as Eple, What Else is There?, Only This Moment <\/em>and The Girl and the Robot <\/em>have spent more than a dozen years exploring \u201cplaces of strange beauty and disturbing darkness,\u201d Berge says. From body armor to space helmets, chill-out to floor-fillers, theirs is a state where anything is possible. \u201cDance, electro-funk, pop, chillwave or some kind of techno-classical orchestra\u201d \u2013 wherever R\u00d6YKSOPP<\/strong> lie \u2013 \u201cyou probably danced your ass off\u201d (1001 Nights in the City).<\/em> The unexpected is expected when R\u00d6YKSOPP <\/strong>take the stage at BIG DAY OUT (ALL SHOWS)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

FOSTER THE PEOPLE
\n<\/strong>\u201cYou better run, better run\u2026\u201d It\u2019s not just an insanely catchy chorus, it\u2019s a call to arms: you better run all the way to BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> to bask in the glow of California\u2019s FOSTER THE PEOPLE.<\/strong> When this LA synth-pop trio let loose Pumped Up Kicks <\/em>on the net, they couldn\u2019t predict it would infect radio airwaves the world over (Aussies voted it into #32 in triple j\u2019s Hottest 100 of 2010). The trio backed it up with their debut album, Torches<\/em> \u2013 full of \u201cinsanely catchy pop\u201d said The Observer \u2013 <\/em>and slots on prestigious festivals from Coachella to Reading. Now it\u2019s our turn to witness FOSTER THE PEOPLE <\/strong>\u201csend hordes of indie kids into dancing frenzies\u201d (KROQ). <\/em>\u2019Tis the season for <\/em>FOSTER THE PEOPLE<\/strong> at BIG DAY OUT 2012<\/strong> \u2013 the sound of summer (ALL SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE JEZABELS
\n<\/strong>With one of the most hotly anticipated album releases this decade with Prisoner, \u00a0<\/em>the buzz surrounding Sydney, by way of Byron Bay, quartet THE JEZABELS <\/strong>is positively contagious and BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> have definitely been infected.\u00a0 There has been a ground swell of interest in THE JEZABELS<\/strong> since they formed a few short years ago and rather than succumb to the pressures of said buzz, the indie popsters have gone their own way and taken their time to deliver an album that truly encompasses the band\u2019s spirit. Between big ideas and spectacular hooks, dynamic and awesome is about right. If you\u2019re not already mesmerized by them, it\u2019s time to get familiar with THE JEZABELS<\/strong> and where better to do that than BIG DAY OUT 2012<\/strong>. No pressure or anything, but you might just fall in love! (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)<\/strong><\/p>\n

ARCHITECTURE IN HELSINKI
\n<\/strong>Always experimental, ARCHITECTURE IN HELSINKI <\/strong>brings their trademark indie-pop to the playing field this BIG<\/strong> DAY OUT<\/strong> and will no doubt infect the masses with their latest offering, Moment Bends<\/em>.\u00a0 The album, and it\u2019s singles Contact High<\/em> and Escapee<\/em>, have captured hearts around the world as well as here in their homeland, where the album has been nominated for Triple J\u2019s prestigious J Award, marking it as one of the very best Australian releases of the year.\u00a0\u00a0 After a decade and more imbibing the sights and sounds of the world, from a theoretical Helsinki to reality in Melbourne and all points in between, all filtered through the collective mindset, where will the wave crash next? \u00a0At BIG DAY OUT 2012<\/strong> that\u2019s where, be there on impact… (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE GETAWAY PLAN
\n<\/strong>From the time THE GETAWAY PLAN<\/strong> released their debut EP in 2006, to their 2009 BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> performance, the then barely post-teen band moved at lightning speed as their sound developed and fan base exploded, making them one of the most talked about upcoming rock bands in the nation. Almost four years since the release of their debut album Other Voices, Other Rooms<\/em>, the Melbourne four piece are set to release the new long player on 4 November, Requiem<\/em>. Produced by multi Grammy Award winner, and one of the most sought after producers on the planet, David Bottril (Muse, Placebo, Tool and Silverchair) – we can\u2019t wait to hear the results! It\u2019s with great pleasure that we welcome THE GETAWAY PLAN<\/strong> back to the BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> stage (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

CAGE THE ELEPHANT
\n<\/strong>Open the gates and stand clear \u2013 BIG DAY OUT 2012<\/strong> is about to unleash CAGE THE ELEPHANT. <\/strong>This <\/strong>Kentucky five-piece stomped all the way to No.2 on the US charts with their second album, 2011\u2019s Thank You, Happy Birthday. <\/em>Onstage, their super-catchy anthems, trippy jams and ferocious odes to staying true to yourself are \u201ctwice as scorching\u201d (Baltimore Sun), <\/em>while frontman Matt Shultz is more often than not found surfing the hands of the audience or singing from the pit \u2026 all while wearing a frock. \u201cAn extreme live experience,\u201d said Indie Shuffle.<\/em> \u201cGet there early, get close, and be prepared for an in-your-face show.\u201d BIG DAY OUT <\/strong>is prepared. Are you? (ALL SHOWS)<\/strong><\/p>\n

FRENZAL RHOMB
\n<\/strong>After five years in the wilderness of the public conscience, the fearless foursome that is FRENZAL RHOMB<\/strong> are back with album number eight, Smoko At The Pet Food Factory<\/em>, and for those of you with a hankering to taste this finely marinated rock n roll delicacy in the live setting, we\u2019re pleased to be welcoming them back for what will be their 5th<\/sup> BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> appearance. With a stellar track record for causing absolute pandemonium; be it inciting huge circle pits, destroying pi\u00f1atas of political leaders or drinking every other band\u2019s beer, FRENZAL RHOMB<\/strong> are a welcome, if scary, addition to the 20th<\/sup> Anniversary BIG DAY OUT<\/strong>. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)<\/strong><\/p>\n

BOY & BEAR
\n<\/strong>Bounding on to the BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> line up are Sydney quintet BOY & BEAR<\/strong> who bring with them their highly acclaimed debut album, Moonfire<\/em>. When your first EP wins you accolades like Rolling Stone\u2019s Artist To Watch of 2010 and Triple J\u2019s Unearthed Artist of the Year, not to mention wooing fans the world over \u2013 including the likes of Laura Marling and Marcus Mumford, no less \u2013 there\u2019s only one thing you can do for your debut album: confound expectations. And that\u2019s exactly what this young band have done \u201cHonesty resonates<\/em>,\u201d says vocalist and guitarist Dave Hosking. \u201cAnd I think that it if it resonates with you as a writer, then it is going to resonate with the listener as well. I think that just happens naturally<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 We couldn\u2019t agree more, BOY & BEAR,<\/strong> which is why we\u2019re pleased to welcome you aboard BIG DAY OUT 2012<\/strong> (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

BEST COAST
\n<\/strong>Summer down under \u2013 sun, surf, BIG DAY OUT <\/strong>\u2026 and BEST COAST.<\/strong> Born of California\u2019s endless sunshine and a healthy dose of heartbreak, BEST COAST<\/strong> are \u201ca noise-pop match made in heaven\u201d (The Guardian)<\/em>. <\/em>Flanked by multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno and drummer Ali Koehler, singer\/songwriter Bethany Cosentino\u2019s bittersweet beach tunes blend \u201cthe vulnerability of Girly Sound<\/em>-era Liz Phair with a budget version of Phil Spector\u2019s wall-of-sound splendour,\u201d says Spin<\/em>. Their debut album, Crazy For You<\/em>, is \u201ccarefree and instantly likeable\u201d (Pitchfork),<\/em> while onstage they\u2019re endearing, funny and fast. And Cosentino\u2019s voice \u2013 \u201cthat\u2019s the killer blow,\u201d reckons The Fly.<\/em> Sunshine is guaranteed when BEST COAST<\/strong> play BIG DAY OUT 2012 (ALL SHOWS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

TONY HAWK
\n<\/strong>Nobody rides a skateboard like TONY HAWK<\/strong>. The San Diego native turned pro at 14 and was a world champ two years later \u2013 a record-breaking 73 wins to his name. Skip forward to 2011, and there\u2019s not much TONY HAWK<\/strong> hasn\u2019t done: launching major skateboard and clothing companies (Birdhouse Skateboards, Hawk Clothing), taking over the gaming world (Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater, Tony Hawk: RIDE), penning a New York Times bestseller, building giant roller coasters, creating epic extreme sports exhibitions, and overseeing the Tony Hawk Foundation, who\u2019ve built 463 skate parks throughout the USA so far. After landing the first ever \u2018900\u2019 \u2013 two and a half mid-air spins, a trick he\u2019d dreamt of a decade earlier \u2013 the most famous skateboarder on the planet retired from competitive skating at 31. His first appearance at BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> was way back in 1996 when he caused a frenzy pulling off 9 x McTwist’s in a row while Rage Against The Machine played “Killing In The Name Of”. It has become one of those special moments in BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> history; now, TONY HAWK<\/strong> is back, this time with\u00a0his Vert Jam Team – stay tuned as we unveil more on skateboarding\u2019s rightful return to the BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> stage. In the meantime take comfort in knowing you’ll see TONY HAWK<\/strong> fly at BIG DAY OUT<\/strong> 2012<\/strong> (ALL SHOWS)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
