Big Bands for Big Day Out

It’s not just a rumour anymore: Björk has confirmed she’ll play the Big Day Out next year.

But the Icelandic songstress isn’t the only big name set to play Australia’s biggest music festival. She’ll join international megastars Rage Against the Machine, Arcade Fire, Billy Bragg, LCD Soundsystem, Dizzee Rascal, and Battles.

There’s also a strong local contingent, with Grinspoon, Hilltop Hoods, Paul Kelly, Sarah Blasko, Faker, Midnight Juggernauts, Something With Numbers, and Cut Off Your Hands all on the bill.

With such an extraordinary line-up, these tickets are likely to be the hottest in town. Make sure you get yours when they go on sale on October 10 for Sydney, October 11 for Auckland, Melbourne, and Adelaide, and October 12 for Perth. To keep things fair Sydneysiders will be restricted to two tickets, while everyone else can buy four.

The Big Day Out festival starts in Auckland on January 18 before flying to Oz.
