Couldn't be arsed to hang on til 12 and Melbourne's web allocation has sold out now. Ticketmaster on the blower at 9 if anyone's interested.

 

[Isandula]

Well must thank my quick typing for getting a ticket at midnight....but it only took over an hour to get the confirmation email, would suck if I had to get up early this morning
The things I do for loved ones....ha
On a side note, gee they were quick up on ebay, some for Melbourne before the actual sale like how
Plus they are a rort on ebay, in excess of $260+ per ticket

 

[Dont be a lemon]

I had a clash of events on the actual day that I was struggling to get out of, so I thought a quick sell out and Melbourne deserves a 2nd show (Sat 30 ?).....well Sydney got one for the 2nd time running.

BUT NO, apparently its a fait accompli that we don't get a 2nd show. flipping disgrace!

Why is Melbourne so undeserving when we sell out just as quick?

good point. don't know. can the Melbourne Showgrounds take a bigger crowd?
There is still the ballot. Something like 300+ tickets per month until end of Jan

The Melbourne venue might be bigger and I suppose they don't think a second Melbourne show would sell out.

 

[Big Sledge #32]

Second line up is out tomorrow, who do you think will be on it?

Personally I'm hoping for Wolf Parade!

 

[Zarrix]

I'm just hoping for a couple of half decent bands I can check out before Tool.

 

[Gravyman]

Second line up is out tomorrow, who do you think will be on it?

Personally I'm hoping for Wolf Parade!

Would love wombats or even the XX.

Second Announcement for the 2011 Big Day Out

24 November, 2010

BIG DAY OUT 2011 second and final line-up announcement.

With over 40 amazing acts from home and around the world already on board its time to complete the picture of what’s in store for the 2011 series of BIG DAY OUT festivals.

For the record, 2011 was by far our biggest ever first announcement.

The Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney events sold out in minutes and a second Sydney BIG DAY OUT has been added on Thursday, 27 January to cope with overwhelming ticket demand.

BIG DAY OUT 2011 is ever evolving and to follow are the new additions musically and visually to complete the BIG DAY OUT 2011 line-up.

As you would know BIG DAY OUT is not just about international acts. We truly believe in supporting local musicians, DJs and artists. Each show has many additional local acts resulting in seven different BIG DAY OUT line-ups.

It’s also not just about bands. From the always surreal LILYWORLD to the even more surreal SILENT DISCO or the visual and sensory spectacles created by this year’s MUCKAMUCKSartists. There are always more worlds within worlds to explore.

Of course the full picture is not complete without playing times so we are making them available on our website from Friday, 3 December. Planning your day does take some time.

So let’s get started.

National musical additions:

SIA
Pop sensation SIA has rounded out an outstanding 2010 which saw the release of her highly-anticipated fifth album, We Are Born. All across We Are Born, SIA showcases her rich and sometimes slightly distressed soprano. Boasting constant rotation of hit singles, Clap Your Hands, Bring Night and You’ve Changed, the album was honoured with three ARIA Awards this year – including Best Pop Release and Best Independent Album from an epic seven nominations! Such events truly confirm what was inevitable: Australians have fallen in love with the homegrown songstress, bringing colour and flair with her SIA heads for BIG DAY OUT 2011 (ALL SHOWS)

THE VINES
One of Australia’s most talented and infamous bands, THE VINES had a meteoric rise from a suburban Sydney garage to the cover of NME in UK and Rolling Stone in the USA. This is a band with enough genius songwriting to fill four albums. THE VINES feel their story is only half written. Wanting to make it up to their loyal fans for a cancelled Big Day Out slot in 2009 the band are all set for BIG DAY OUT 2011. Marking the return of THE VINES is a brand new single Gimmie Love on your radio soon with a new album to follow in the New Year. And what better way to welcome back THE VINES than to have them kick start the main arena. THE VINES will be proving their rock attitude credentials when they set the bar for the day as the first act of the day. We salute you. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

THE GREENHORNES
Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio the trio of Craig Fox, Patrick Keeler and Jack Lawrence known as THE GREENHORNES have been churning out the highest quality rock n roll for well over a decade. Their sound is pure, straight up Nuggets inspired rock and roll. These guys have been weened on a diet almost solely consisting of the finest British R&B and rock innovators. This isn't a hobby or something they are doing between projects - it's their life. Good, old-fashioned rock 'n' roll, plain and simple. After a five year hiatus, THE GREENHORNES are back with their new album, aptly titled "" and are on the way to our fine shores to shake up BIG DAY OUT 2011. (ALL SHOWS)

WASHINGTON
She weighs half as much as her keyboard but she could punch out your Dad. Yes, she is a female singer songwriter…but she’s not shy and retreating or cute. Her voice will stop you in your tracks. It’s Megan WASHINGTON, along with that unmistakable voice that soars, then falters, then soars again and it is full of sorrow even when it is full of joy (soft, broken, soaring, sorrow, spitting, sneering, smiling etc etc). And she can dance real good. Roll up, roll up: ARIA Award winning WASHINGTON plays BIG DAY OUT 2011. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

MATT & KIM
MATT & KIM never let a silly thing like not knowing how to play their chosen instruments stop them from forming a band. Fast forward six years, the Brooklyn duo are on their way to BIG DAY OUT 2011. Rest assured though, the two piece have well and truly since mastered their tools in all their electro-indie-poppy goodness. The quirky couple recently released their third full length album, Sidewalks and the first single off the album, Cameras, is already making waves in the US. Come and witness MATT & KIM at BIG DAY OUT 2011, joining in optional but preferred. (ALL SHOWS)

BLACK MILK
In only a few years, producer/emcee BLACK MILK has quickly developed into one of the few hip hop artists who both carries an accomplished resume and is followed with widely-held optimism about what he can bring as one of the leaders of the modern hip hop movement. Now 25 years old, Black earned his stripes both locally in his native Detroit and on a national level from his associations with Slum Village. He's also worked with major label artists like Pharoahe Monch, Kardinal Offishall, and Busta Rhymes and BLACK MILK proves on his new album, Tronic, that not only is he growing as an artist, but that hip hop music as a genre still has room to grow. (ALL SHOWS)

ANNA LUNOE
ANNA LUNOE – a name that has since become synonymous with partying around the globe with her extensive knowledge of the latest genres to turn clubs into the sweaty messes. Lunoe’s return to Australia could not have come at a better time with rumblings of Lunoe’s prowess behind the mixer leading to a whole host of gigs in every capital city and damn near every venue across this brown wide land. BIG DAY OUT 2011 welcomes the arrival of ANNA LUNOE. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

As much as I like Sia & Washington this announcement is just a resounding 'Is that all?'

Plus it's the final announcement not that I was expecting anything great from third announcement, especially after this.

 

[MelbourneCrow]

That 2nd announcement is an absolute shocker. Almost certainly the worst in BDO history.

Nevermind I'm sure I'll have a serious clash anyway with Rammstein/Tool on the main stage and almost certainly one or more of Crystal Castles/Bloody Beetroots/LCD on in the Boiler Room.

 

[00Stinger]

The 2nd announcement is utter crap.
Thank god tool and Rammstein are playing, because otherwise this BDO would be woefull

 

[Eddie Dingle]

The 2nd announcement is utter crap.
Thank god tool and Rammstein are playing, because otherwise this BDO would be woefull

What a disgraceful lack of respect to The Stooges.

 

[cortez]

This will be the first Big Day Out I will miss since Ministry headlined in 1995. Disappointed with the line up and not going to pay for unoriginality.

 

[ChrisFooty]

What the? Only six or seven artists in the second announcement? And no third announcement like other years?

What a terrible annoucement that was. Well I like Sia at least.

 

[desTROY]

Black Milk may just have convinced me to go.

 

[MelbourneCrow]

According to todays Hun the timetable is out next Friday - surely it couldn't be a month early could it?

Having said that, given the shower of shyte added yesterday I spose the organisers have had enough time to finalise the pointy end of the thing already.

 

[SugarShane]

My BDO timetable will probably end up looking like this.

Arrive.
Watch Rammstein.
Leave.

 

[Zarrix]

Fairly much the same for me, except replace Rammstein with Tool.

Though I may go and watch Rammstein if there is no clash, because I used to like them back in year 11- 12, and it would be cool to see them live I'd say.

Would also depend if any friends want to see any other specific bands.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

My BDO timetable will probably end up looking like this.

Arrive.
Watch Rammstein.
Leave.
