gay

thats my thoughts too although Soundgarden have potential.

Surely the 2nd round of acts will be huge, its there 20th yr party. has to be epic

Although Im not the biggest fan, I think Kanye will be worth checking out and its good to see a different more current style of headliner.

Missing from the above list but also announced today is TONY HAWK (world's greatest skater) bringing skate back to BDO!

 Kanye would be wicked to see. People hate on him cos he a bit of a self indulgent wanker but he makes sick music (imo)

 Hope he does a sideshow here, I would def go. Only Royskopp interests me otherwise.

Royksopp are awesome!!
I am keen to check out Kanye but more to see what all the hype is, I like a few of his tracks so could be interesting

Tony Hawk!!!! awesome!!!!

my girlfriend read this morning new location for Adelaide this year to
This is where it was read not read clear about Adelaide as it really only confirms Perth new location
http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s3359751.htm

Adelaide BDO (and Perth and Auckland) being scaled back from 7 stages to four! http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/music/smaller-big-day-out-for-three-cities/story-e6frf9hf-1226189881036

"THE Big Day Out has grown in Melbourne but become a smaller day out in Adelaide, Perth and Auckland.
Headliner Kanye West won't be performing in the three cities where declining ticket sales - an affliction hitting many local festivals - has seen the festival downsize to four instead of seven stages."



Also Tony Hawk & pals update:
"Legendary skater Tony Hawk also decided to invite a few of his pals along to the shows. Joining Hawk on the 40-ft vert jam with be Sandro Diaz, Jesse Fritsch, Neil Hendrix, Kevin Staab, Elliot Sloan, Alex Perlson, Renton Millar, Jurgen Horwarth, Sam Beckett, Nathan "Jimmy" Beck, Adam Luxford, RJ Barbaro, Trevor Ward and Mick Mullhall."

hahaha not suprised about kanye softing out...

Generally BDO is the festival I avoid at all costs. Turns out this year Bassnectar is on the second round announcements. Hopefully someone clever can book him for a sideshow....


please?

Everyone likes to have a cry about big days out never having good acts, too many teeny boppers etc the list goes on.
Generally I agree but I still go because I have had some absolute cracker days at BDO’s I’ve missed only one since 1997.
I hope the crowd is down this year cos that will make for more breathing room in the back pocket.

I’m keen for Bassnectar too, he was an added bonus along with Shockone, they’ll give me some bass relief for the day.

We're keen. The more I think about it the more it sounds good. Sure its a rip off but it has been for years im looking forward to the smaller event

Thats the shit Melv wouldn't be the same without you guys

Even thought theyre downscaling, if we all want BDO-Radelaide to continue (and potentially return to its former glory) the only way to do that is ti buy tickets and support the event.

I might do it just for the skating!

lol been doing that for a while now and each year it still seemed to get bigger and bigger with more and more people and less and less quality.

I think the BDO is at something of an identity crisis as of the last couple of years; it's not sure what it wants to be. Think about the lack of big festival competition it had in it's glory days as well. I think Future Music festival successfully expanding beyond electronic music serves as a good example.

With this in mind, I have so many great memories of previous BDO's and had a ball at some of the more recent ones as well. I think that wankers in the crowd are here to stay (at any festival) as long as big name acts are booked. It's what you make of it I guess, and although I can't go in 2012 I am also hoping it bounces back in the future.

shit shockone + mc shureshock clash with soundgarden

my BDO review
well I had to work so didnt get there till 5 but thats okay cause most of what I wanted to see was on later (Cavalera Conspiracy being the exception). Through the gates and then to the wrist band where the chick was heaps suss on me. Asked me to remove my glasses and show other forms of ID to prove I was the person on my license, which coulda been necessary if I wasnt 32!
Straight from there to Drapht which was pretty funky. Was good to see Trials up there as those two seem to work really well together.
A mate told me to check out Dangerous which wasnt really my thing but I think it'll be good to see these guys in a few years.
Headed over to see Tony Hawk and dunno if he came out or not but it was cool to have the skate ramp as the back drop for The Living End. The living end always play well if you're into them (imo) and I dont mind them so hung there for a while before heading to the insanity of Royksopp. These guys are twisted but make some amazing music! I didnt quite know what to expect but the longer I watched them the more I felt like my drink had been spiked with some kind of hallucinogen. Way too cool a show for what seemed like the dark back corner of the BDO.
Emerging from the haze of Royksopp was a brief intermission as Bassnectar rolled out what looked like a 5ft fold back speaker and set up for his set. OMFG what a fucking awesome set. Loved every minute of it! A fantastic selection of tunes that had chicks head banging and dudes swaying. Bassnectar was the highlight of my day.
Then wandered on over to the main stage to see Sound garden. Im not sure if its me or what but they sounded like shit! Maybe Im just not into their brand of distorted garbage or maybe the sound was just fucked but either way I wasnt hanging round. I heard spoonman and that was one of two tracks I wanted to hear so I bailed for Shock One. Shock One was good and played a pretty smashing set that would have been awesome at a Club. 
Next up was everybody's favorite NERO.  I like their music, Its clean and crisp and is kinda catchy. When I saw the two guys in black standing behind the giant speakers/desk with a big logo behind them I thought 'oh good they got Justice instead' but alas no. I cant remember their first song but I remember thinking 'oh good I like this track' and then they moved on and the more I listened the less I was impressed. Maybe Ive got a bad attitude but I found them rather boring, every song sounded like the same bunch of sounds rearranged in a different way. I left in the hope that Noel Gallagher would at least keep me awake. A few Oasis songs later I headed back to nero, more to find my friends than for the music.
Oh and as a passing comment for the whole day, security were complete fucktards!!!

Nice review mate!

No different to any BDO then lol, though their attitude is not surprising given the amount of moronic bogans causing trouble they have to deal with.

I would have only really gone for Shockone, the sets I have heard of his are awesome. So frenetic!

i doubt you would have paid 170 bucks just to see a DJ who has played here 3 times (stereosonic, summadayze + hq nyd) in the previous 2 months leading up to the BDO?

Not likely, no.

I guess I meant to say that he was the only person on the whole bill I would have liked to see.

Hmmm, I didn't realise these guys were there... did anyone see their set?
