Beginning its life in 1992 as a Sydney only festival, Big Day Out has grown steadily over the years to include not only Sydney but Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, the Gold Coast and even Auckland. Having huge acts year after year has gained BDO popularity and cemented it in Australian culture as one of the most successful and long running festivals.
Acts have ranged from heavy metal to Aussie favourites to huge classics over the years and have included, Rammstein, Violent Femmes, Wolfmother, The Ramones, Blink 182, Nirvana, Metallica, Silverchair, Muse and Iggy Pop and The Stooges, just to name a few.
Always a huge day, with up to eight stages to choose from, Big Day Out starts early and plays late into the night, with not only international and national acts but carnival rides, silent disco's and Lilyworld, a place that has to be seen to be believed, where you can find mud wrestling, comedy and nudity all on one stage.
