DJ MooseKnuckle · 02-Sep-08, 06:31pm

No official announcement from BDO organisers until then I call bullshit

I'd say it's straight from the horses mouth, as last time i knew ken west is the owner of big day out

kurtisthomas · 02-Sep-08, 06:55pm

September 30 first line up announced.
Expect

Prodigy
Arctic Monkeys

Possibly Metallica, if they don't come for BDO they will tour in about March

thats a big fucking statement.

BUT, shit;ll be hectic if they do

Galvanize · 02-Sep-08, 07:07pm

Metallica have dates on through January so no Big Day Out.

Ken doesn't own it on his own. Viv Lees is the other half of the BDO team.

Big fucken whoop if Ken was talking about it. until there is an official announcement I'm going to put it as speculation.

PS I would be thrilled if Neil Young came out for BDO. Provided he brings crazy horse with him.

Are you serious ?

This is the same thing that happened with rage against the machine last year, a few weeks before they announced BDO line -up they announced rage

How much more official can you get then one of the promoters announcing it on triple j

Rated E · 02-Sep-08, 08:07pm

I've heard the Prodigy rumours. I hope it's true.

I also heard a rumour about Simian Mobile Disco.

autumn acid · 02-Sep-08, 08:11pm

If prodigy, it will be really upsetting as I can just see myself missing out on tickets

Yeah I'm almost certain.
I also heard rumours of ACDC doing a seperate concert on Australia Day at Stadium Australia, however I think there has been logistical problems.

robbz_69 · 02-Sep-08, 08:29pm

I hope no 'decent' headline act plays. cos of that i missed out on lcd soundsystem.

its looking like simian and pendulum are both gonna b playn, which will most likely b in the boiler room.

if prodigy DO play i can see it ending shit with them closing the boiler with someone equally as good on the main stage

kurtisthomas · 02-Sep-08, 08:39pm

yeah heard about pendulum too and radiohead

CANADIAN rocker Neil Young will headline the 2009 Big Day Out music festival, and will play side shows in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

Festival organisers today confirmed that Young, 62, would play the annual event, which travels to the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Auckland, New Zealand, in January and February.

On his first Australian tour since 2003, Young has also announced dates for Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne in January which go on sale on September 19.

Big Day Out organisers were unwilling to confirm rumours that the Arctic Monkeys and the Ting Tings would also be on the bill.

The first line-up announcement for the popular festival is expected within the next month.

Source - news.com.au

Wouldn't be surprised to see Arctic Monkeys play 2nd last behind Neil on the main stage. Im very interested to see who they have for that slot.

Your so on my wave length. No camparison for chemical bros in the boiler room v main stage- also acts like beastie boys felt wrong up there. Bands only on main stage but that's just my opinion...

fuck I cant wait, last year was the best ever, fucking put my faith back in music after seeing RATM, I missed Metalica last time they came out so i hope they come back, La Coka Nostra would be sick to see in the hot house or The Game.

omgROFL · 03-Sep-08, 12:06am

coldplay must due pretty soon with their album launch.

I'd say they are a serious prospect for BDO

ehcoroche · 03-Sep-08, 12:34am

id love it to be prodigy, however, the problem is i have no money, and no money is no festivals, can we just post-pone summer fest. season guys? thanks a million, just till i get a job

hanky · 03-Sep-08, 12:34am

If Prodigy play they will be mainstage.

Ting Tings?

Beds · 03-Sep-08, 12:40am

Wow. Radiohead, Prodigy, SMD would be insane.

omgROFL · 03-Sep-08, 12:47am

Arctic Monkey, Portishead, Neil Young, Simian Mobile Disco, Pendulum, The Prodigy

kone · 03-Sep-08, 01:04am

prodigy would def be mainstage, they played it there in '02 best thing ever

djonnit · 03-Sep-08, 01:20am
