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.

Nobody has hearted this, be the first Be the first!

I heard a rumour that Deftones are coming back, with Tool, Chemical Brothers

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!

I heard Luke slater was playing!

Seamus Ryan said on the 14th Jul, 2007

Did someone say DAFT PUNK??? *giggles*

Donnie Darko said on the 14th Jul, 2007

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!

b_valenzuela said on the 14th Jul, 2007

I think Interpol are due out too!

mckenna said on the 15th Jul, 2007

ac/dc could be doing a tour in 08

pezz said on the 15th Jul, 2007

It won't matter who they announce, it will still sell out in a heartbeat.

speakafreaka said on the 16th Jul, 2007

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

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....

CheeryChappy22 said on the 16th Jul, 2007

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!

charlieK2 said on the 16th Jul, 2007

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

deXXy_Disaster said on the 17th Jul, 2007

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. w

nice! but carl cox again?? how many bdo's has he played at already!!

Joanna01 said on the 28th Jul, 2007

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!

Underworld have a new album coming out in October. They are touring all around the world and dates are announced up to November (Japan). I really think we'll see them down here in time for the BDO. I will wee.

vietnow said on the 6th Sep, 2007

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 y

I'd love love love Mindless Self Indulgence to be on the lineup, but I don't think this is going to happen...

charlieK2 said on the 21st Sep, 2007

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

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 f

Raevyn said on the 28th Sep, 2007

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
