Can order online through the website www.bigdayout.com now is a great time to do it :)

p.s. can order with credit card or Bpay limit 4 per person

Got mine, hooooray!!

TripleJ just said they're about 4 minutes away from being sold out

Well for any of you in a rush, Ticketek was by far a better option as far as i'm concerned...the official BDO site was laggy as f*** for me, but ticketek was quick and easy

Four at a time was the suck. We accidentally bought 12. Oh well dont imagine it will be a problem to find someone for them to go to.

I didnt have a problem with the BDO site, just bought 4 then - page loads were slow. I'll probably have an extra ticket if anyone misses out.

shot gun extra ticket if needed.

which is not needed, so you may do as you please with it.

TripleJ just said they're about 4 minutes away from being sold out

I got mine at 1.15??? From BDO site.

there would have been giant sales this morning but it wont sell out today, maybe end of the week

Sydney is sold out, but I would assume Gold Coast would still be ok.

Surprising as the line up is fairly weak, although Tool alone would probably put half the numbers through the door.

i got my ticket :)

You're not invited, FOREIGNER

$120 is a bit steep on the $100 for last year.

Think I might save my money and just goto fieldayze and bbq breaks on new years day!

just bought my tickets

see you at muse trog :)

not if I see you first! because I will mug you and steal your wallet and leave you knocked out in a ditch, is the idea I'm trying to get across here

bbq breaks on new years day!

freq nasty
concorde dawn
ugly duckling


tempting

concord dawn are the f***ing best. as good as if not better than pendulum imo. i shall be at sfd, bdo and bbq breakz +1 festival whore

I'd like to know how you can call 12 hours entertainment for $120 expensive?

There will be at least 6 bands I will *want* to see

If you see a side show you'll eb paying $70 just to see one band, granted the sound will be better AND they will play a longer set, but f*** me there is an assload of musical acts on show for 12 hours and it's only $120 for a ticket - stop whinging...

again, granted, the day will cost a bomb on drugs (yes alcohol is a drug, so nerr).

It's expensive cos im pov student that wastes his money on s*** :)
Summafieldayze and BBQ Breaks should be enough summer festivals for me.

Who knows, I might still make it tho!

just bought mine then, woot!

i cant believe there is still no beats announced

it could sell out before they are announced :(
i cant ever remember this happening before

same!

Im hoping Basement Jaxx are announced, they are in the country at the time so who knows. The put on an awesome show when I saw them at the 2002 one.

yer, when they dropped "your mother does more drugs than i do" i had the moment of all bdo moments

indeed, they rock it live

if theyre here at the same time my money is on them being in. bjaxx have been to a gazillion bdo's haven't they?

Just wanted to give this a quick bump...

The BDO organisers are doing a ticket ballot in Sydney to try to circumvent scalping to a degree. Here is their Press Release about it

For those who don't want to read it, the two key bits of information in the release...

With 45,000 tickets for the Sydney Big Day Out snapped up in a few hours we have held back the final 10,000 for sale over the next ten weeks in ballot form.

The first 5,000 will be sold at $125 + bf and the final 5,000 will be at $150 +bf.

and then...

Selling tickets for higher than the face value is a breach of the conditions of sale. Tickets sold on auction sites will be declared invalid and the ticket holder will be refused entry. You have been warned.

So, how even though BDO will be selling them for ABOVE face value this is ok? How is this different to people selling them on eBay? Perhaps they were pissed they weren't getting a cut of the juicy resale pie. Scalping sucks, and they are doing their best to legitimise it.

A Triple J Hack story about the ballot

WHERES THE FARGEN BEATS?

Zak, that's just corporate scalping

Bingo Trog :)

Listen to Hack on triple J this afternoon, they are doing a follow up bit on it. You may or may not hear me :)

cool stuff, I will

rumors that gold coast is sold out

yup, that is what the site says. how long does it usually take them to sent out the tickets?

f*** yeh Zak, keeping it real QGL stylez!

Zak do you post on timeoff?

Yeah that was me dude. That's actually where I first heard about it.

I know being Sydney it doesn't really have much to do with me, but I get pretty passionate about this sort of thing. It's kinda weird that I care this much, as I leave for London in 12 days and won't even be attending this one, which will be the first one I have missed since I started going back in 97. But still, it's BDO, and why should some people have to pay more than others...

Next year's lineup didn't really appeal to me all that much :/

One group whose music I don't necesarily like but want to see live is the chemical brothers. I heard they go off and do a totally awesome show. Anybody experienced it?

Yeah if you are into beats you would probably dig em. Their set at BDO last year (or was it this year?) was pretty damn good. But by that stage I'm usually knackered and can't be stuffed trying to cram into the same tent as 30000+ other people so have to listen to it from up the hill a bit.

I don't think Basement Jaxx are going to play this year, as they are doing a new years eve/day show in Sydney, so it would seem strange to hang around for 3 weeks doing nothing.

Hopefully they get some hot acts for announcement #2, as it's fairly tame at this stage.

chemical brothers last time was super average (2005)

i want my boiler room closer to bring the house down

chemical brothers wasted a lot of their set time with long, slow, boring rinse outs

waste

ps, this was a cool site, listing all of the previous acts
made me sad looking back through all the previous years, thinking of the fun ive had
http://www.bigdayout.com/history/pastlineups.php#2003

Nice site. Yes, plenty of memories (both good and bad). Man I wish Rammstein would come back - hate the music but the show was fantastic - best BDO set i've ever seen.

yer, my posse said that as well, i didnt see em, was in teh boiler room

pretty much all of my bdo memories (and non memories!) have been awesome

even a bad day at the bdo, was still better than just about any other day
even last years!

why should some people have to pay more than others.

I actually don't have a problem with this. While I think it will really have very little effect on combating scalping, I see no reason why the organisers can't charge whatever they want for addmission.

There's other events that offer cheaper prices for early-bird purcahsers so why not BDO? They've just called it something else.

I just think its deceptive in the way they have done it after the event had been called a "sell out". If they had have announced from the allocation from the start it might have been ok, but I just think they have seen them sell out and go straight onto ebay yet again so decided they would get in on it.

The organisers reckon the extra money will be used for extra fencing and artists, but again I would assume they would have planned for all these things in the initial ticketing costing.

http://search.ebay.com.au/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=big+day+out+gold+coast

2x tix going for 810 dollars with 32 hours remaining. jebus.

^^ Scalpers bump their own prices...

Also the Big Day Out site said tickets sold on auction sites would not be excepted... don't know how they are going to police that...

Lucky I have mine :D

Holy crap!

It appears commonsense has prevailed :)

woohoo :)

if they want to beat scalping, why not just lock tickets to ids?

has anyone actually received tickets yet?

Nope, ordered some GC tickets here and nudda.

No, but I've been billed for them

awesome, I have BDO tickets, I have my plane tickets

I will be at BDO in Sydney!! :D

The whole point is... They want you to be able to sell them for the same price, but not at a higher than "RRP" price.

Has anyone received tickets they bought online from Ticketek yet? Other concert tickets purchased from ticket a few weeks after BDO arrived on Friday. Getting slightly worried because of that and the fact the credit card bill is due and I have nothing to show for it.

In other news, read today in JMAIL that the second annoucemnt is due on Wednesday. Listen to J and the Dr for news or just check this thread.

So long as you put all your details in it will be sweet. They might be doing what the Splendour guys did and do them in one mass mail-out.

Or a hobo may have stolen them from your letterbox. Either way, someone will enjoy them.

PS - just read the Good Vibes line up. Looking pretty good if you are a hip hop fan, athough bummer about it not being at the riverstage.

My GC tickets arrived in the mail last Friday.

i got a red ticket from aus post telling me to pick something up for the local P.O but i havent gone yet, i bet its my tickets.

Has anyone received tickets they bought online from Ticketek yet?

nope

yes mine arrived last week (Y)

hai guise...

Since announcing the first round of BIG DAY OUT artists for the 2007 series, tickets have been snapped up at record speed. If you have been waiting around till the second announcement before you purchase tickets, wait no longer! Below you’ll find the next round of International acts and Antipodean touring artists who will be rocking the stage at each BIG DAY OUT.

THE STREETS (UK), led by people’s poet Mike Skinner, will be telling it like it is at BIG DAY OUT 2007. Armed with his third album, The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living, master hip hop storyteller Skinner will be spinning true stories of success and excess, as only he can. Brilliant, influential, and back for their second BIG DAY OUT, THE STREETS are Britain’s geezer gift to the world. (All shows)

You want attitude? BIG DAY OUT 2007 will be dripping with the stuff, as KASABIAN (UK) strut, swig, and swagger their way across the nation in what’s going to be one hell of a sweaty summer. Two albums in, the Leicester rock renegades already possess more anthems than a band rightly should: “Reason is Treason”, “Club Foot”, “Shoot the Runner”, “LSF”, “Empire”, “Processed Beats”. A decadent, explosive presence, KASABIAN are heading Down Under to expand their Empire. BIG DAY OUT is ready to be conquered. (All shows)

Few musical acts cover the diverse territory of BIG DAY OUT’s old mates, THE CRYSTAL METHOD (USA). Back and spinning into DJ mode for summer, Las Vegas’ finest, Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland, will put the dance, the breaks, the rock, the rave, the dub, the house, the squelch, the boom and the beats into your BIG DAY OUT 2007. Renowned for their hits “Busy Child”, “Keep Hope Alive” and “Born Too Slow”, THE CRYSTAL METHOD are also mixing maestros - check their Community Service volumes for proof. Get ready to get busy. (All shows)

BIG DAY OUT 2007 is set to deliver JUSTICE (FRANCE) for all. That’s JUSTICE, French style, the duo made up Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, known for causing riots on the dance floor with their neo techno, post-mash-up, electrifying electro, disco sounds. Whether dishing out their own anthems Never Be Alone (vs Simian) and Waters of Nazareth, or spinning discs from their eclectic, brutally funky to lightly pop collection, the JUSTICE DJ experience is unlike all others. This year, the sound of summer comes with a twist - your body twisting to the sound of JUSTICE at BIG DAY OUT 2007. (All shows)

BIG DAY OUT has seen the future of metal - and it goes by the name of TRIVIUM (USA). Coming our way to dazzle the unsuspecting with an explosion of neck-snapping riffs, grandiose scream-along choruses and outstanding musicianship, TRIVIUM will leave no stone unturned in their quest for world domination. A No.14 Australian debut for their new album, The Crusade, was a good start. Next stop for Florida’s finest: blowing the roof off BIG DAY OUT 2007. (All shows)

A little hush, please, as BIG DAY OUT 2007 welcomes a true poet laureate, The Bard of Salford, JOHN COOPER CLARKE (UK). Inspired by Kerouac and Ginsberg, peer to punk’s legends, a forebear of Billy Bragg and The Streets. From the clubs of Manchester to the epicentre of punk, he supported The Buzzcocks, The Sex Pistols, Elvis Costello and The Fall. No ordinary poet, JOHN COOPER CLARKE speaks with the rhythms of rock‘n’roll, and will bring summer to a standstill with his confrontational, furiously funny and jaw-droppingly real performances. (All shows)

From New York to Tokyo to BIG DAY OUT 2007, everyone’s beating the same drum: AFRA & THE INCREDIBLE BEATBOX BAND (JAPAN) will blow you away. And we quite possibly mean that literally. Three men, three mics, no decks, and a fat-ass, old school block party vibe. How do Afra, Kei and K-Moon do it? Be there to find out when Japan’s good-time beatboxing contribution to the international hip hop world, AFRA & THE INCREDIBLE BEATBOX BAND lay out the answers. (All shows)

There’s a breath of fresh air wafting over BIG DAY OUT 2007, and it goes by the name of LILY ALLEN (UK). The most exciting thing to happen to pop music in ages, LILY ALLEN’s debut album Alright, Still is chock full of sass, snarl and spite. Boasting the UK No.1 single “Smile”, the 21-year-old Londoner’s genre-busting debut will without doubt be the soundtrack to summer. LILY ALLEN has a lot to say - this summer, BIG DAY OUT will be listening. (NZ + East Coast shows)

Chicago’s best kept secret, LUPE FIASCO (USA) has officially arrived on the hip hop scene. Hyped by the best -- Kanye, Pharrell, Jay-Z -- loved by the rest, LUPE has dropped a bomb with his debut album Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor, a goldmine of thought-provoking and playful lyricism coupled with sure-fire beats. He’ll tell you he’s the future. If you’re down with his worldview, get down with LUPE FIASCO at BIG DAY OUT. (NZ + East Coast)

Think you know what you’re in for when DIPLO (USA) takes the stage? You haven’t got a clue. And that’s just the way you like it! Hip hop, grime, Miami bass, baile funk, 80s pop, electro, rock_ He’s cutting it up and mixing it in ways you wouldn’t expect. From his seminal Hollertronix parties in Philadelphia and his genre-busting work with M.I.A in London, to his musical archeology in Brazil and his own album Florida, DIPLO is an artist of the world. His next adventure brings him Down Under, to BIG DAY OUT 2007. (NZ + East Coast)

If we all had a dollar each time a JOHN BUTLER TRIO song got stuck in our heads, I’m sure we’d all be rich, filthy rich! This year the JBT have spent a large chunk of time getting their classic rootsy, bluesy rock songs stuck in the heads of new fans in Europe, USA and Japan and at festivals all around the world. However, storming the international scene isn’t enough for these troubadours; they’ve also been back in the studio working on their highly anticipated fifth album that will be released in early 2007. The first track "Funky Tonight" reminds us of John Butler’s mega talent as a masterful multi-instrumentalist and spills a taste of disco/funk, ska and bluegrass that will bring celebrations to a new height at the BIG DAY OUT! (All shows)

Take a flight to Hollywood with LITTLE BIRDY at the BIG DAY OUT! As if you didn’t know already, LITTLE BIRDY were propelled from the musical hotbed of Perth on to the Australian alt-rock stage with their acclaimed 2004 debut Big Big Love. 2006 sees LB and their scorching lead singer Katy Steele return to release their sultry sophomore, blues-tinged rock‘n’roll LP Hollywood. An album of firecracker riffs and off-kilter, edgy synths; of gleeful dance rock grunt, slow-building arrangements and moody lyrical introspection, Hollywood takes you to a place where sassy meets psychedelic and too much is not enough. (All shows)

Princes of dirty electro-boogie THE PRESETS will serve up one helluva sweaty live show at the BIG DAY OUT this summer. Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes were two squares who met at college and realised they shared a mutual untamed passion for music. From beer swilling rock and introspective Indie pop to high-camp Euro disco THE PRESETS dug it all and set about creating their own skewed, singular vision of scary, streamlined pop. They first hit it with the Blow UP EP in 2003, a heart of darkness in dance rock, and followed up with the pristine melancholy of 2004’s Girl and the Sea EP. And then finally in 2005 they dropped their Beams LP to much critical acclaim. Back from shakin’ their groove thang all over the world, get set for THE PRESETS at the BDO! (All shows)

SOMETHING FOR KATE will return to the BIG DAY OUT with a serious amount of rock on their agenda. Renowned as one of Australia’s most acclaimed indie bands having spawned hits like "Captain (Million miles an hour)", "Electricity", "The Astronaut", "Monsters", "Three Dimensions", "Deja vu", their latest release Desert Lights sees SFK spark up some sonic rebellion. An album that combines discord as well as catchy hooks, sophistication and beauty, Desert Lights captures SOMETHING FOR KATE’s trademark urgency and energy but delivers an invigorating, stripped-down, live rock sound. With lyrical master Paul Dempsey’s intense and passionate performances BIG DAY OUT audiences are in for some seriously scintillating live shows. (All Aust shows)

BIG DAY OUT is proud to welcome a band that has written the soundtrack to the lives of many Australian music fans with classic albums like Sound As Ever, Hi Fi Way and Hourly Daily, - the one and only YOU AM I. After a break during which band members recorded solo albums, toured the world, acted on TV, started record labels, played with other bands, became band managers (amongst other things), our most loveable rock‘n’roll ruffians returned triumphant in 2006 with a vintage, rootsy, garage rock album Convicts. From ear-melting rifferama and heart-string tugging humanity, this LP is a musical elixir for whatever ails you. Don’t miss YOU AM I at the BDO for a fangin’ festival performance of simply the finest open-hearted rock‘n’roll in the world. (All Aust shows)

BOB EVANS, aka Kevin Mitchell (yeah, the guy from Jebediah), has well and truly established himself as a solo artist - a successful one at that. After an initial solo LP release Suburban Kid in 2003, BOB EVANS has returned in 2006 with the ARIA Award winning album Suburban Songbook. Jam-packed with gems, the album features the infectious melodies of "Don’t You Think It’s Time?" and the pure pop pleasure of "Nowhere Without You". For a country style affair of romantic homespun intimacies and big adventures in little worlds where all you need is love, wander along to see BOB EVANS at the BIG DAY OUT. (All Aust shows)

A truly exciting and unique prospect to emerge on the Australian scene, THE DRONES’ music is infused with Australian history and draws on a rich tradition of Australian storytelling. This year they took out the inaugural Australian Music Prize with their album Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of Your Enemies Will Float By. THE DRONES’ much-anticipated third release, Gala Mill, is an album of stark beauty and dark intensity. Thrashing out eclectic sounds that approach a wild fury wound tightly around thought-provoking lyrics, and dark swampy sounds with an undertow of blues and folk, THE DRONES will deliver a fiery and ferocious live show at the BIG DAY OUT. Don’t miss one of the most intelligent, innovative and important bands this country has seen in years! (All Aust shows)

Talk about a one-way ticket to rock success! THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT have followed up on their acclaimed debut LP Begins Here with Imago, a Class-A Aussie metal album and a stunning example of how the band has evolved while maintaining the resonant, melodic heavy rock for which they’ve become renowned. Dynamic vocals, emotive lyrics and intense arrangements with heavy peaks in contrast to soothing moments translate to highly-charged live shows that have been touted as the best in Australia at the moment. You decide at the BIG DAY OUT in 2007. (All Aust shows)

Stephen Allkins aka [LOVE] TATTOO is a true pioneer of dance music in this country. Since starting out in ‘78, he’s gone on to play along side some of the hottest names in dance music - Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Kings of Tomorrow, Roger Sanchez, Deep Dish, Armand Van Helden, Fat Boy Slim to name a few. As well as sharing the stage with these fancy types, in 2006 he has written and produced his very own masterful album, Bodywork. Make sure you get along and sweat to the sounds of [LOVE] TATTOO as he lays down his sweet-ass disco-funk on the dance floor at the BIG DAY OUT! (All Aust shows)

SHAPESHIFTER’s new album Soulstice propelled the Christchurch via Melbourne drum‘n’bassers to the giddy heights of number four in the NZ album charts on its release in September. Not that being giddy or high is anything new for fans of the most exciting live d‘n’b act down-under - SHAPESHIFTER have lifted the roof off the Boiler Room at several BIG DAY OUTs in the past and so we just had to have them back. Soulstice is a star-packed jam that shows how this group’s sound has evolved to transcend genre definition, taking elements from jazz, latin, reggae, soul, rock, hip hop and electronica, and blending them live into a truly diverse and overwhelming dance floor experience. (NZ + East Coast shows)

Stay tuned for the third and final line up announcement coming soon.

The Streets, Kasabian, Crystal Method DJs, Justice, Trivium, John Cooper Clarke, Afra & The Incredible Beatbox Band, Lily Allen, Lupe Fiasco, Diplo, John Butler Trio, Something for Kate, You Am I, Little Birdy, The Presets, Bob Evans, The Drone, The Butterfly Effect, love [tattoo] and Shapeshifter join Tool, Muse, Violent Femmes, The Killers, Peaches, My Chemical Romance, Spank Rock, Jet, Eskimo Joe, Scribe, Evermore, The Sleepy Jackson, The Herd and The Spazzys.

sweet!

Or a hobo may have stolen them from your letterbox. Either way, someone will enjoy them.

they are sent registered mail, mine arrived last friday

my god this bdo is going to own

Woo Butterfly effect

crystal method is the only one there id be interested in seeing

Heh, what a s***ty lineup. Well okay, maybe not s***ty, but not a whole lot I'm interested in seeing live.

Trivium are a guilty pleasure of mine though so hopefully they're not on until later in the day and my plan of spending the morning at the beach before seeing TOOL can still go ahead.

Still, so many boring indie and generic rock bands that while I don't mind listening to a few of them, have absolutely no desire to see a live performance of.

I'm happy to just go see Muse and Tool, but to try and get a little more value I'll prolly go see the killers as well. But yeh, I can't be f***ed standing outside in QLD summer heat for half those bands.

any weiner that complains about the heat at the bdo is a weiner

the heat makes it awesome

Trivium are a guilty pleasure of mine

ditto, got their live at rock am ring performance on dvd which is excellent

only beef is that I wish matt heafy would concentrate more on singing and less on screaming, it's the only downside of their music :(

damnit

i really really want to see the streets again, but theres not much else on offer with those second announcements :(

hope mike does some non bdo gigs!

haha that's better than the first lineup imo

The Streets and Lupe Fiasco ftmfw!!

^ reckon, i'm cut i can't go now :(

lupe, presets, crystal method and justice would all be quite awesome.

im going to email mike and ask him to do no bdo shows

and reload is right

lupe would be good also
