How do I get to go?

if u dont live in australia i guess u dont ...

the strokes were rumoured to be playing - and i kinda thought they would to support the release of their new album in january - but it looks like the stripes took the top slot.

still...it's a pretty cool line-up. i'd brave the heat, the smelly peeps and the high-priced food to go.

i wouldnt mind going eather, but i dout i could afford it

That's an ace line-up... I've been wanting to go to the Big Day Out for years and years. But I never have the money or anyone to go with.

oh bro you rule

you even got the NZ line up

i officially love you

any melbourne people wish to go for no-cost what so ever? I work in radio I have my tickets already but I need someone to come with me! So if you from Melbourne please pm me! or email: soylamurray@hotmail.com

last years line up was terrible

except fot Polyphonic Spree, they were Amazing

god i could hear those slipknot screams from so far away

the only stink thing about BDO is that sometimes your favourite bands are in the same timeslots

i dont know if this happened in Australia but did anyone ekse get a handfull of free condoms?

Oh man, I wish I lived in Australia.

They have ALWAYS got awfully fucking good bands.

Damn



Mutha fucking Ninja.

*cough*INXS*cough*

yesssssss im going!

Hey Bridget you should come with me to the big day out

^ That would be really good. But I'm stuck down here in Melbourne. You'd be going to the Sydney one, right? If I find a way to get to Sydney at that time then that would be really cool.

Yep well if you can find a way to get here, I'm here for you By the way your baby pics were gorgeous

haha, thanks. And I'll keep that in mind.

My hostbrother was there last year and when I said "wow, big day out" he was like "You know it?".

As of now I'm think I'm going
But I have yet to schedule flights, finalize things and so on. that line up is very cool ...but don't alot of bands get added on sooner to the event itself?

!!

That's great. Yeah there will probably be a lot more bands than what is listed there because they are added later on. But why do you have to schedule flights if you're already in Sydney?

omg you ppl in oz r soo lucky i wish i could just stop by

Oh I'm going home for Christmas in between semesters. For December and then up to whenever I should come for BDO...which I don't know how much time I should give cause of jet lag, etc. Maybe I would try to arrive in AU on the 23rd do you think? Complicated stuff! It's cool that I will be arriving quite some time before the semester starts so I can enjoy things without worrying about studying .

I'm definitely going! Last years was great (I don't know how you can say the line up for last years was awful Annie . The Hives, The Music, Powderfinger, Grinspoon, JBT, Chemical Bros, Beastie Boys... I thought it was a great line up. Oh well)! I'm hoping that some late entries into the line up will be The Strokes and Placebo (I heard they were releasing a new album early next year too, so fingers crossed), and if The Vines decided to play it... I'd be a bit conflicted - happy that I get to see them, but a bit worried about how they are received since they don't tend to get good reviews at stadium events. Okay I'm rambling here .
So long story short: can't wait!
