Well i went to the Big Day Out again this year, i’ve been for like the last 4 years or so straight. It is always a good day, even though it gets a little more expensive each year. If you have been hiding under a rock, the Big Day Out is basically a concert/festival with bands/groups performing all day long (from about 11am to 11pm). It always attracts at least a few big international acts, as well as plenty of local talent.
This year was no exception with headlining act Rage Against The Machine wrapping up another long day out. For those that have been, they will understand that it can be a very long day, and you spend most of it standing. By the end of the day i was wrecked and could barely stand up anymore. To add to this pain there is a lack of shade since the venue was changed from the Showgrounds, which leaves most people sunburnt as well.
I checked out a range of acts from weird dance acts, through to aussie rock bands. Highlights were definitely aussie rock groups Mammal and Karnivool. Of course RAGE were also great, however i felt they could have been better… maybe they are a bit rusty? haha.
Until next year, goodbye BDO.
