NEWS: Big Day Out Australia Announce First Line Up On Monday [UPDATE]

Big Day Out will announce its first line up this Monday. Tickets are on sale July 19 and will set you back AU$165 - $10 less than 2012 and are all-inclusive of booking and credit card fees.  Limited holographic souvenir tickets will also be on sale.

The purchase of these will put you in the draw to win a double pass to Lollapalooza, Chicago 2012. Red Hot Chili Peppers are strongly rumoured to be one of “two monster headlines”. Bad news for us kiwis though, as previously reported, the festival will not be crossing the Tasman.

BIG DAY OUT 2013 DATES AND VENUES 

Friday 18 January – SYDNEY – Showgrounds

Sunday 20 January – GOLD COAST – Parklands

Friday 25 January – ADELAIDE – Showground

Saturday 26 January – MELBOURNE – Flemington Racecourse

Monday 28 January – PERTH – Claremont Showgrounds

UPDATE 11/07

Reports that the line-up has been leaked early emerged today. A photo taken on a smartphone allegedly shows the finished poster artwork with the full list of acts.

While many of the bands check-out as far as availability goes, the fact they spelled the 'Chili' in Red Hot Chili Peppers wrong indicates a rather meticulous photo shop job (either that or someone in the BDO office's head is about to roll).

Rip It Up remains dubious...
