Big Day Out '08 First Announcement

The initial lineup for the 2008 Big Day Out has been announced, and is as follows...

Rage Against The Machine
Bjork
Grinspoon
Arcade Fire
Hilltop Hoods
Billy Bragg
Paul Kelly
LCD Soundsystem
Faker
Midnight Juggernauts
Sarah Blasko
Dizzee Rascal
Something With Numbers
Battles
Cut Off Your Hands

This would have to be the strongest Big Day Out lineup in years, especially given the increasingly saturated Australian festival market... and there's more to come. Late January should provide for some awesome sideshow action.

In addition to the first announcement, organisers have brought in some ticketing changes. Sydney festival-goers will be limited to 2 tickets each. Furthermore, the sales dates for each city have been staggered to relieve pressure on website ticketing. Also, as was the case last year, 10,000 tickets will be held aside for an online ballot.

The Sydney leg kicks off on Friday, 25 January and is on sale October 10. More information can be found at the Big Day Out website.
