The Big Day Out 2012 line-up drip-feed…

Thu 29th Sep, 2011 by Jack Tregoning in News 19376 views

Instead of arriving in one triumphant installment, this summer’s Big Day Out line-up is coming bit by bit. The festival is set to announce a host of acts tonight Thursday 29 September between 8pm and 10pm, and we’ll be updating this story every half hour. Then the rest of the line-up lands tomorrow morning.

Let us all grumble together about the good old days when line-up announcements were simple and festival drinks were full strength. We’ve got high hopes for the 2012 Big Day Out line-up, with plenty of Boiler Room rumours doing the rounds, so let’s see what tonight brings.

The Big Day Out line-up drip feed begins here…bear with us and refresh, baby, refresh. It all starts with:

Kanye West
Soundgarden
Kasabian
Best Coast
Foster The People
Cage The Elephant
The Getaway Plan
Girl Talk
Frenzal Rhomb
Odd Future
The Jezabels
Battles
Architecture In Helsinki
Mariachi El Bronx
Parkway Drive
Boy and Bear
Hilltop Hoods
Röyksopp
The Living End
My Chemical Romance

Who are best coast?

justbecause said on the 29th Sep, 2011

^^ The most monotonous boring music to come out of the the whole surf rock / pop scene. Youtube a couple of their songs and you'll understand.

rubbish.

jamwildway said on the 29th Sep, 2011

Girl Talk, nice

mr flauge said on the 29th Sep, 2011

Update - The Chemical Bros

m_xt said on the 29th Sep, 2011

wow, just looked up best coast, I thought maybe it was a misspelling for the east coast lineup. Sounds terrible. Like Ariel Pinks Haunted Graffiti and Au revoir simone had a baby, and dropped it on it's head, then kicked it a bunch until they were sure it was retarded.
PS chemical bros, I realise some people may not have seen them but they sure are here a lot.

Girl Talk. PFFFT

Bergs said on the 29th Sep, 2011

Ian_B said on the 29th Sep, 2011

What is the purpose of a "drip-feed". Is it to piss people off?

becahhhh said on the 29th Sep, 2011

What happened to be BDO use to have good bands bring back RATM and anything other then shit like girl talk who don't even write or play their own music doing mash ups apparently makes you a music artist?????BURRRRRT

ratticus said on the 29th Sep, 2011

nightwriter said on the 29th Sep, 2011

seen006 said on the 29th Sep, 2011

oh and my chemical romance was just announced on BDO twitter feed

katiecunningham said on the 29th Sep, 2011

R�yksopp!! I'm actually pleasantly surprised with the line-up thus far...maybe because I enjoy Best Coast's brand of whiny girl surf pop.

RudeTed said on the 29th Sep, 2011

R.E.M.?

Banky007 said on the 29th Sep, 2011

what?? no Gotye or David Guetta???

xtigga said on the 29th Sep, 2011

Royksopp makes it all worth while.

FtMOde said on the 29th Sep, 2011

Be great to have BDO have Beastie Boys, Soulfly, Maya Jane Coles, Fatboy Slim, Skrillix, dOp, Wu Tang Clan, limb bizkit, Rusko, Gui Boratto, Fat Boy Slim, Seth Troxler, Moloko, The Prodigy, Wolfmother, The Roots, Rage Against the Machine..

special ed said on the 29th Sep, 2011

finally royksopp! sideshow kthnx

appart from that, that is a pretty bad line up, even by BDO standards.

mr flauge said on the 29th Sep, 2011

royksopp !!! 2nd a sideshow dont really wana go to the big day out just for them.

josephwright29 said on the 30th Sep, 2011

wolf gang, who else bow bow bow

baax said on the 30th Sep, 2011

This must be 10 years in row for The Living End

NOISEMAKER said on the 30th Sep, 2011

soundgarden = nice!

frenzal rhomb and the living end nice local additions too.

the rest of the line up = meh.

daverh said on the 30th Sep, 2011

ROYKKKKSOPP.

At this stage the dance contingent is pretty light on...guess there'll be more with a second announce. Hope so anyway.

angy said on the 30th Sep, 2011

Lineup just got big...

trAse said on the 30th Sep, 2011

UNDERWHELMING NIGGERS

AdrianC said on the 30th Sep, 2011

KANYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

mlirosi said on the 30th Sep, 2011

i think we should wait for the headliners...could make it or break it

mlirosi said on the 30th Sep, 2011

by the looks of that there should be alot of room in their budget for headliners

mlirosi said on the 30th Sep, 2011

ohhh and about time royksopp came good on their promise

daverh said on the 30th Sep, 2011

KANYE MF WEST

WilhelmScream said on the 30th Sep, 2011

I wonder if Kanye will be touring the same live setup as he's been doing the last 6 months or so? Or if he'll change it up and incorporate some Watch The Throne stuff in there?

thunderbot said on the 30th Sep, 2011

Three/four Boiler Room friendly acts. WOW.

tash_mooloolaba said on the 30th Sep, 2011

Chemical Brothers or My Chemical Romance?

There is a mixed feed in the forum?

Needles said on the 30th Sep, 2011

My Chemical Bromance?

ezy1000 said on the 30th Sep, 2011

hahahaha Needles... LOL

webgott said on the 30th Sep, 2011

I'll pay $80 for a Royksopp sideshow at a decent venue (not the bloody Metro!), but not $160 for Royksopp plus all those crap bands I've never heard of

special ed said on the 30th Sep, 2011

its a bit disappointing we've waited and waited for royksopp to tour and they end up at BDO. sideshow will have to suffice

djschultzy said on the 30th Sep, 2011

nigga what.... bullshit lineup...

sonicc said on the 30th Sep, 2011

Even Kamal can't save this lineup..

Why is the BDO so unkind??

franko123 said on the 30th Sep, 2011

where's the big rock headliners.......

thunderbot said on the 30th Sep, 2011

I guess Franco123 has never heard of SOUNDGARDEN.

Pdzy said on the 30th Sep, 2011

I've got better plans on whatever day this is

Jose Mourinho said on the 30th Sep, 2011

Really average annoucement apart from soundgarden, royksopp, battles and kasabian. Frenzal would be funny i guess. Parkway drive have their moments but Kanye??? thats a massive fail. The rest of the lineup will be a bunch of aussie filler ie. cut copy, art v science, presets blah blah blah

Timmac said on the 30th Sep, 2011

Weak lineup....too many Australian fillers....too few international killers....not surprising though; festivals (including BDO) reached their peak - both attendance and lineup-wise - a few years ago....bring it back to the club people...

LOKIAU said on the 30th Sep, 2011

Very underwhelming so far, I hope they have some Aces up their sleeve

adsy808 said on the 30th Sep, 2011

im going just for Odd Future.... and Kanye...... will swing past Marichi El Bronx also.... not the worst festival line up ive seen.

polite_society said on the 30th Sep, 2011

goddamn. why couldn't royksopp be on a good festival lineup??

dn-ul said on the 30th Sep, 2011

by memory they still have two announcements, but the first one always had a few decent headliners. i wish there were more festivals like vivid were they get a few artist doing a couple of shows separately, would happily pay 50 per show then 160 for a 40 min set
