Adelaide event selling out in record time this morning!
And for the first time in the history of the Big Day Out, less than two weeks since going
on sale, ALL OF THE AUSTRALIAN BIG DAYS OUT ARE NOW SOLD OUT!!
As with the sold out Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne And Perth Big Day Out shows,
organisers would like to announce a ticket ballot is already in place for the Adelaide
event. An additional 2,000 tickets will be available to purchase through an online ticket

first ballot taking place this Thursday October 22nd.
Here’s what you need to know
Each week 200 tickets for the Adelaide BDO will be made available on our website via an
online randomly drawn ballot.
The ballot will be drawn at 9pm EST on the Thursday of each week, beginning Thursday
22nd October and finishing Thursday 24th December.
The weekly ballot ticket limit is 2 tickets per customer.
As the ballot for the Adelaide event has a strict limit of 2 tickets per customer, if you

following Tuesday after the ballot). If in this time you have not paid for your order,
these tickets will be forfeited and put back into the next week's ballot.
CONDITIONS OF SALE AND ADMISSION

effort to ensure that our tickets are available to genuine punters at the price we have
set, every customer will need to read and agree to our Conditions of Sale and Admission
before they can purchase tickets. These can be viewed on our website now. Tickets sold

[Booney]

I was wondering how long until one of LL's harpoons popped this thread.

wasnt on the 'E' popping dance kids excuse to get off tap schedule those days. Those kids are the reason we have so many music festivals in Adelaide now! lol

Got it in one Duncs- once they started incorporating more dance music etc it got way too big!

What ever happened to Indyfest, particularly 1998- that was a great day of music.

Indyfest was freaking awesome.
I went only once (1997 or 1998 I think) and saw Living End, TISM, The Mavis's, The Porkers...can't really remember many others.
I was only 14 or 15 at the time and it opened my eyes to the world of live music.

[Dogwatcher]

And here I was thinking it was me who'd done that for you

[ca]

Interesdting to hear over the weekend that V Festival has been canned for this year. Even though it didn't come here we did get some reasnoble side shows over the years. I guess the Festival bubble had to burst in this country although some like BDO, Soundwave and others continue to grow.

[Barto]

I'm old enough to remember when the Boiler Room really was just a room.

[The Real Number 3]

Got mine off ebay. $240. Thanks mum (xmas present)

[BenchedEagle]

[The Real Number 3]

Second announcement:

Hey there, we’re back with the 2nd Announcement of first-rate acts playing the Big Day Out 2010. Before we get down to the nitty gritty, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank YOU: your amazing support of the Big Day Out has resulted in unprecedented, record breaking sales for the 2010 tour. We can’t do it without you…

The band that rewrote the history of Oz rock and made it possible for Aussie bands to once again take on the world (and win), JET are bringing their Shaka Rock home this summer for BIG DAY OUT. The boy’s third album is “a visceral account of what rock’n’roll should be,” says ChartAttack, “…chain-smoking, whisky-drinking, gritty good times”. With new anthems K.I.A (Killed in Action) and She’s a Genius piled on top of the likes of Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Rip it Up and Rollover DJ, JET are now the proud owners of one of the strongest setlists in rock. Perfectly described by the BBC as “a lot of rough fun”, JET are rough, rockin’ and ready for another BIG DAY OUT in 2010. (ALL SHOWS)

For 20 years, SASHA hasn’t just been playing and winning the DJ game, he’s been changing it. This summer, SASHA will bring his A-game to a new playing field, BIG DAY OUT. The last true rock star DJ, SASHA learned his craft at Manchester’s famed Hacienda in its late-80s glory days, found global club fame in the ’90s, and scored acclaim with his ’00s albums Airdrawndagger and Involver. He’s an innovator, a pioneer, and he knows how to mix it up while keeping the dancefloor moving. Enter the Boiler Room and rewrite the rules with SASHA at BIG DAY OUT 2010. (ALL SHOWS)

BIG DAY OUT will let its freak-folk flag fly this summer with DEVENDRA BANHART. The people’s troubadour came to prominence with the cosmic folk and ethereal vibrato of his 2005 breakthrough, Cripple Crow. In 2009 came his sixth album, What Will We Be, which Rolling Stone calls “the best he’s ever made”. In concert, this charming quirk of nature drifts from hushed to frantic, from folk to surf to reggae to heavy psychedelic rock. Call it whatever you like – pysch-folk, avant-folk – DEVENDRA BANHART “stands out as a compelling and utterly unique artist” (Q Magazine). Find out for yourself this summer at the 2010 BIG DAY OUT. (ALL SHOWS)

America’s new favourite big beat soul popsters PASSION PIT are bringing their musical gifts to BIG DAY OUT 2010. Led by singer/songwriter Michael Angelakos’ funk-fuelled falsetto, PASSION PIT’s debut album Manners comes alive with kaleidoscopic soundscapes and plentiful ambition. On stage, they’re chaotic, oddball and impossible not to dance to. They’re the only pit we recommend you dive right into – PASSION PIT at this summer’s BIG DAY OUT (ALL SHOWS)

The hardest-working men in dance music, James Ford and Jas Shaw never stop moving. And you won’t either, when SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO DJs work the Boiler Room into a frenzy at BIG DAY OUT. From the Brits who brought us We Are Your Friends, Hustler, It’s the Beat and 10,000 Horses Can’t Be Wrong, we can guarantee one thing: surprises. “Their samples are eclectic, their sound is electric, and their energy is, well, orgasmic.” (killahbeez.com, March 2009). A year ago, we lapped up their live show. In 2010, we’ll delve deep into their record crates – prepare to play musical lucky dip with SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO DJs at BIG DAY OUT 2010. (ALL SHOWS)

It’s time to turn up the sound system and welcome the king of the dancehall, BEENIE MAN, to BIG DAY OUT. From Kingston, Jamaica comes the chart-topping, Grammy-winning master of reggae evolution, who during more than 20 years in the game has pumped out dancehall smashes including The Girls Dem Sugar, Who Am I, Slam and Gimme Gimme. On stage, he’s a nattily-dressed “livewire lightning rod of a man, pumping adrenaline and feeding off the beat” (OC Weekly). And if all that weren’t enough, the fastest man on earth, Usain Bolt, counts BEENIE MAN among his favourites. Stand back – BEENIE MAN will be setting off dancehall dynamite at BIG DAY OUT 2010.

The 2010 BIG DAY OUT will see the return of crowd pleasers, SILENT DISCO. Premiered in Australia at the BDO in 2006 they returned in 2009, and will again electrify disco dancers with their mixes of dance, hard house, punk, salsa, twenties swing, alternative, world, electro, hardstyle, gabber and Dixieland, all through the convenience of wireless headphones! In the Double Channel SILENT DISCO, which features new 2-channelled digital headphones, party people can choose from resident DJs OR the guest DJ at the time and have a good old fashion dance off! (ALL SHOWS)

BIG DAY OUT knows how to keep the nation happy – two words: HILLTOP HOODS. In 2010, we welcome back Australia’s favourite hip hoppers for a triumphant fourth go-around. Beloved by music fans of all persuasions, from rap aficionados to rock dogs and dance devotees, when the HOODS unleash the likes of Chase That Feeling and The Hard Road, entire fields turn into a united sea of waving arms, nodding heads and bouncing bodies. Since first dropping rhymes and beats in the mid-’90s, Adelaide boys Suffa, Pressure and DJ Debris have grown into multiple-ARIA-winning, chart-topping superheroes – “the country’s greatest hip hop act” (The Age). Chase that euphoric HILLTOP HOODS feeling all the way to BIG DAY OUT 2010. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

Ever feel like your life is a movie, and the only thing missing is the soundtrack? DECODER RING will play that soundtrack into life at BIG DAY OUT. “The music expands like a sonic puzzle... Before too long the sound is ringing through the room in epic waves of joy” (FasterLouder). An audio-visual experience beyond compare, DECODER RING describe their music as “a three-dimensional thing”. And there are plenty of dimensions to be found on the AFI Award-winning Sydneysiders’ latest album, They Blind the Stars, and the Wild Team. The aim, keyboardist and guitarist Matt Fitzgerald told the Sydney Morning Herald, “is when you hear it, it physically affects you”. Feel the full effect of DECODER RING at BIG DAY OUT 2010. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

Paul Mac and Andy Rantzen will scratch that BIG DAY OUT itch when their iconic Aussie electronica outfit ITCH-E AND SCRATCH-E get it together again 16 years on from their first BDO appearance. Renowned for their ’90s classic Sweetness & Light, that stir they caused at the 1995 ARIA Awards and their melodic take on techno, ITCH-E AND SCRATCH-E are now putting the finishing touches on a brand new album, their first since 2001. They were pioneers of Oz dance music’s crossover into the mainstream. Where will they take us as we enter a new decade? Find out at BIG DAY OUT 2010. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

Femcee MAYA JUPITER is bringing the hip hop sunshine to BIG DAY OUT. A former Triple J radio host, regular Channel [V] presenter and ARIA nominee (for her work with Foreign Heights), JUPITER has spent much of 2009 in Los Angeles working on her second album and injecting a healthy dose of Latin flavour to her sound. But this summer she’s heading home to get her fill of her favourite thing of all: “Getting on a stage and having fun with people, sharing stories and dancing my butt off”. Share it and shake it with MAYA JUPITER at BIG DAY OUT 2010. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

Throwing electro fuel on the indie fire has made MIAMI HORROR one of the most explosive sounds to come out of Melbourne in quite some time. They’ll go off with a bang this summer at BIG DAY OUT in their full four-piece live formation – drums, guitar, keys and a “reverent and relevant take on dance-y synth rock” (Pitchfork). Led by production whiz and remix king Ben Vanguarde, the group have whetted appetites internationally via singles Don’t Be On With Her and Sometimes. With an album due early in the new year, now is the time to catch MIAMI HORROR deliver a new take on the new wave at BIG DAY OUT 2010. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

The Boiler Room just went up a few degrees with the addition of DJ MARK DYNAMIX. MDX has been an integral cog in Australian dance since the mid-’90s, becoming the party-starter of choice for international DJs, slaying millions with his Ministry of Sound alliance and mix-CDs, touring internationally and founding a label, Long Distance Recordings, to send new Australian sounds overseas. His tight sets of techno and minimal beats have seen him regularly voted one of the country’s top DJs – but that’s where the predictability ends. As MDX told 3D World, “even I don’t know what’s gonna come out of my library until I get there!” For mixing magic on the fly, there’s no going past MARK DYNAMIX at BIG DAY OUT. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

It’s not hard to find SUGAR ARMY. Just follow the trail of praise. “Nauseatingly talented… SUGAR ARMY will rock you" (Xpress). Starting out five years ago in WA, they quickly gained an imposing live reputation: “sensational”, says Xpress. In 2009 came their debut album The Parallels Amongst Ourselves, with singles Acute and Tongues in Cheeks winning the ARMY new enlistees across the nation. “These Perth boys are something else. Talent laid on so thick it drips from their blessed little fingertips, outshining every post-punk synth pop pretender across this wide brown land” (Beat). In 2010, the trail leads all the way to BIG DAY OUT, as SUGAR ARMY sign on for a rocking summer tour of duty. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

BIG DAY OUT 2010 plugs into the most electric of electro with the arrival of DJ SAM LA MORE. Sam Littlemore is the studio mastermind behind hits and remixes from the likes of Potbelleez (Don’t Hold Back), Pnau, Gwen Stefani and Sneaky Sound System. He’s on Ministry of Sound’s speed-dial when it’s time for a fresh Clubber’s Guide. He’s helped shape Aussie electro house in collaboration with GT as Tonite Only. And he’s a dancefloor shaker in his own right, whether DJing around the world, or cranking out singles as cracking as I Wish it Could Last. Feel the crackle in the air when DJ SAM LA MORE brings the electro power at BIG DAY OUT this summer. (ALL AUSTRALIAN SHOWS)

THE SCARE and BIG DAY OUT are of a like mind: party hard, but tour even harder. The livewire Queensland rockers – who’ve also put in the hard yards sleeping on couches and supporting big-name acts back in the mother country – made the nation stand up (or should that be take-a-step-back?) and listen with their second album Oozevoodoo. A visceral, cathartic blast of gritty, sleazy, groove-filled rock, it’s “edgy, clever, succinct and all above all else fun” (FasterLouder). Blessed with a frontman, Kiss Reid, who oozes as much sex appeal as he does voodoo, THE SCARE may well rock your pants off at BIG DAY OUT 2010. (EAST COAST)

For the past year, whispers have been circulating about a certain Townsville six-piece. They’re “special”, they’re “promising”, they’re “mysterious” and “haunting”. They’re THE MIDDLE EAST, and the whispers will become a scream when they take to the stage at BIG DAY OUT 2010. Indie folksters “pitched between Belle and Sebastian and Tindersticks” (Mess+Noise), THE MIDDLE EAST have spawned two sublime, lilting and harmonious radio favourites in Blood and The Darkest Side. Brought to life by left-of-centre instrumentation – banjo, harmonica, accordion, glockenspiel, trumpet and mandolin – they can turn even the biggest space into an intimate experience. Get up close and personal with THE MIDDLE EAST at BIG DAY OUT. (EAST COAST)

Pack your bags, ’cos BIG DAY OUT is taking you to Goodtown, with WAGONS at the wheel. Led by charismatic showman Henry Wagons and described as a “local treasure”, Melbourne six-piece WAGONS offer an unlikely mix of grand rock, dark country, irresistible crooning and classic pop, all topped off with Henry’s engrossing storytelling. Their latest, fourth album The Rise and Fall of Goodtown has seen them nominated for best group and best album at the 2009 EG Awards, yet more proof that WAGONS’ Goodtown is the place to be. Leave your mundane life behind and jump aboard WAGONS as they wind their way to BIG DAY OUT 2010. (EAST COAST)

Think you know all that Aussie hip hop has to offer? PHRASE and BIG DAY OUT are here to make you think again. From the youthful aggression of his debut Talk With Force to his socially aware and musically adventurous breakthrough second album Clockwork (featuring collaborations with artists as diverse as Daniel Merriweather, Kram and Wendy Matthews), Melbourne rapper PHRASE is breaking the mould. Backed by DJ Flagrant and a five-piece band, PHRASE’s Clockwork gigs have become more than just shows – they’ve become events. And no event will come bigger than PHRASE at BIG DAY OUT 2010. (EAST COAST)

BIG DAY OUT 2010 is taking you to a place where krump music keeps you moving all night long – the electric island home of tribal warriors GRRILLA STEP. A 10 piece, Polynesian-inspired krumping and percussion sensation, GRRILLA STEP is the brainchild of DJ Dexter (that multiple DMC Champion turntablist, formerly of the Avalanches), in collaboration with Papua New Guinean drumming master Airi Ingram and dance crew Royal Fam. Completely unlike anything you’ve ever seen, heard or moved to, GRRILLA STEP promise a gob-smackin’, body rockin’ experience at BIG DAY OUT. (EAST COAST)
Soon we will reveal the final round of acts, visual art installations, special attractions and the world that is the Lilyworld.
