The official announcements don’t come until the end of the month but one cat is already out of the bag. Neil Young will headline the 2009 Big Day Out.
Festival promoters Lee and West confirmed the exciting news to Undercover News today.
No doubt all the kids still getting turned on to Harvest so many decades after its release will be thrilled at the news. While the BDO bill is sure to be killer, it’s probably not going to excite a lot of Neil Young’s older fans.
They’ll be pleased to know he’s already announced some sideshows in the major capitals. Tickets for these gigs go on sale on September 19.
See this living legend at the following venues:
21 January 2009 – Entertainment Centre, Brisbane
24 January 2009 – Entertainment Centre, Sydney
28 January 2009 – Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne
