Big Day Out rumours underway

Created On October 17th, 2007 by i_have_ADD

It’s never too early in the year for Big Day Out rumours, and here at ITM HQ we’ve been hearing murmurs for the past month or so about possible headliners for next year’s tour. Topping the list of potential acts for the festival are tried and tested BDO veterans the Chemical Brothers and Carl Cox, but word on the street also tips UNKLE as a possibility to bring their new live show down under. Perth’s finest drum & bass export Pendulum and French indie electro rockers Black Strobe have also been suggested. Recently reformed grunge superstars the Smashing Pumpkins have been discussed as a chance for the mainstage.

Tickets for the tour traditionally go onsale in early October, with the first round line-up usually announced just before, so keep your eyes on ITM over the coming months for updates. We’ll endeavour to bring you all the rumours we hear along the way!

UPDATE! THE FIRST ROUND LINEUP HAS NOW BEEN REVEALED, SO HEAD TO INTHEMIX’S BIG DAY OUT FESTIVAL PAGE HERE TO KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST INFO.

I just hope that this year, BDO announces the Boiler room line-up before ticket sales. Unlike last year. It was dissapointing to say the least to see the rock lineup named and not the sounds of our persuasion!

I double dare the BDO organisers....infact I'll up that to physical challenge them, to have a complete line up of BDO virgin acts. UNKLE would be a good start!

daft punk = no.. they'll have left the country by then. ACDC rumour is every year. Im leaning towards possibly a foo/QOTSA since they both have new albums out. RATM would be a hot tip too. Gotye hopefull on the local front. i missed out on his live shows. I think theres definately going to be a big emo band there. Fall out boy possibly?

CheeryChappy22 says...

Maybe for an EMO compromise they could try an snag the used,heck MCR put on a decent show last year.....damnit JUSTICE better be back!

inthemix.com.au

CheeryChappy22 says...

on July 16th, 2007

If they are gonna include acts like RATM,they better be putting in a ticket limit..........those things will sell for $500 on ebay and man thatd suck....

why dus evry1 think fall out boy r emo? MCR is, FOB r not. if an emo band comes itl b 30secs to mars. neways i reckon linkin park and sum 41 r a good bet since theyll have new albums out. and i hope greenday since theyr spose 2 have an album out in '08. wolfmother maybe will come since i dont think theyve been 2 bdo b4? and even tho hes always in the country at the time, carl cox ftl...get sum1 new ffs

Rage is highly possible, considering they were only going to do 1 performance which was Coachella but have done several since then and are locked in for Rock the Bells. Wu Tang are releasing their new LP 8 Diagrams (minus ODB RIP) in the US in October so maybe the Clan will head our way over the summer...

OMg i think they should BAN the Big day out because it incourages drug use and people just be ridiculous when they are there just like that poor 16 year old girl jessica died in the mosh pit!

God damnnn i hate roumers! you get all excited and worked up, only to be let down when the line-up is actually released. I admit i havent been to impressed witht eh BDO lineup for a few years, so this year im expecting something BIG!!! Might as well add to the roumers however and say.....i got bets on At the Drive In, Paramore, Placebo, Cox, Pendulum and Halliwell in the boiler room along with Midro (i hope!!!) and yeah the big names i guess would have to be roumers of RAGE and Unkle. If Deftones played....my god! BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF BDO!!!! (ahh memories - remember back when the lineups included massive bands such as manson and hole) *sighs*

i boycotted bdo this year. 2008 better have some WOW factor, cause the bolier room (and hot house) have been lamed out side stages in the last few years. i've heard AIR may be coming over as well as RATM, but the big wow groups rumoured in the last few years have been nothing but rumours. all i'm saying is that i'm hoping for a huge year, being back at the show grounds they've gotta come thru with the goods...right???

In the Sunday paper had bjork tipped to headline which would suck. I rekon smashing pumkings or RATM that would be sickk also rekon some Good aussie Hardcore/Metal Like parkway Drive, Jungle Fever, Carpathian e.t.c Big day out have one emo act per year if that, most bands now just try to be emo to get teenage girls weraing there shit and suckign there cocks lol

oi dexxy disaster, late reply i know but wolfmother have been to BDO, in 2006. Sound issues disrupted the performance though so it wasn't great. UNKLE would be dope. Evil Nine maybe... Smashing Pumpkins a huge possibility. Pendulum are about to release a new album. Regardless I have a feeling BDO 08' is going to be epic.

wolfmother played BDO 2005 as well on the green stage and were bloody awesome. it was before the album so it wasnt over produced as they are now, when they were the real wolfmother, howling and cape wearing. rage (obviously cause its offical now), bjork for sure (playing 23rd of jan at opera house), not long to wait till tuesday - big announcement

I have a few very strong "connections" *cough cough work in the ticketing industry* and i can pretty much confirm RATM will be appearing at BDO 2008. I don't want to get peoples hopes up in case it falls through - everyone knows that things change, but at the moment it's a 99.5% probability.

Hey guys, my father being the co-organizer of the Big Day Out 2008 i have been informed of the following second line-up and rumours. It is pretty stable apart from powderfinger - dont know where that came from (random). I hope it encourages you to purchase a ticket and prepare for the best Big Day Out imaginable. I cant wait.
