Thread: Big Day Out 2011

Gets announced tonight at 11:30pm Darwin Time .. A few clues have been leaked as to who is playing..

?One of the Big Day Out 2011 headline acts live in Los Angeles, California, USA. The other headliner doesn?t. Both are bands, neither are solo performers.? ?One of the 2011 acts will perform their classic album. PS they have played BDO before.?
?The 2011 act that will perform their classic album and have played BDO before IS NOT THE STOOGES!?
?The two headlining bands have NEVER broken up!!!?

rhcp?

I'd have thought the peppers would be too big for the BDO. Would be a great headline act though obviously

I thought RHCP were doing their own tour next year.

triple j music news: Big Day Out dates and line-up announced

The 2011 Big Day Out dates have been locked in and the first lot of acts on the bill have been announced.

After kicking off in Auckland as usual, the Big Day Out will circle Australia with shows on these dates:

Sun Jan 23: Gold Coast - Parklands
Wed Jan 26: Sydney - Showground
Sun Jan 30: Melbourne - Flemington Racecourse
Fri Feb 4: Adelaide - Showground
Sun Feb 6: Perth - Claremont Showground

But who's playing?

As expected, there's a big list of international headliners.

TOOL last played the Big Day Out in 2007 while they were touring their album 10,000 Days. The band has taken a long hiatus, setting out on just a handful of tours since. They confirmed this year that they're working hard on their next release, which we can expect in 2011. Who knows what will be in their set at the 2011 Big Day Out?

German industrial metal act RAMMSTEIN haven't played in Australia since touring with the Big Day Out in 2001. They're coming back to showcase their sixth studio album Liebe ist fur alle da which they released last October.

Recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees IGGY AND THE STOOGES are playing the festival for the second time and legendary Scottish rockers PRIMAL SCREAM will be doing their third Big Day Out tour, performing their classic 1991 album Screamadelica in full.

Italian house producers BLOODY BEETROOTS were in Australia earlier this year with their Death Crew 77. Fans who missed that tour now get another chance to catch them in duo mode.

When we caught up with them at Splendour LCD SOUNDSYSTEM promised us they'd be back within a year - and they're making good on that promise. Their recent shows have been earning them rave reviews and they?re sure to be a highlight act when they?re here again next January.

EDWARD SHARPE AND THE MAGNETIC ZEROES will also return to Australia after a tour earlier this year that showcased their debut album Up From Below and the killer single 'Home'.

M.I.A will play her second run of Big Days Out, giving us the live show that goes with her recent album Maya.

Nick Cave's band GRINDERMAN are also on the line-up. It's only the second time the band has played live in Australia since forming in 2006.

The rest of the impressive cast of international acts are BOOKA SHADE, LUPE FIASCO, THE BLACK KEYS, RATATAT, CSS, DEFTONES, DIE ANTWOORD, ANDREW W.K, VITALIC, THE JIM JONES REVIEW, PLAN B, THE NAKED AND FAMOUS, KIDS OF 88 and CRYSTAL CASTLES (East Coast shows only).

Plus there's a big contingent of Australian artists like BIRDS OF TOKYO, JOHN BUTLER TRIO, ANGUS AND JULIA STONE, CHILDREN COLLIDE, BLISS N ESO, DEAD LETTER CIRCUS, BLUE KING BROWN, GYPSY AND THE CAT, LITTLE RED, PNAU and heaps more.
