The 2011 Big Day Out lineup has been released.
LCD Soundsystem return to Australia after what many people thought was their last gig ever at Splendour in the Grass, while dance fans will rejoice seeing PNAU, Bloody Beetroots and Crystal Castles on the lineup.
Sadly, there’s no Blink 182 on the lineup. Rumours had been circling that they were scheduled to head down under, since the band reunited.
Now for $155 you want a good line up, good weather and plenty of bruises to consider it have been a good day.
So when people said to me, ohhh i'm not that keen on the BDO line up, not sure if its worth the $155. I thought hmmm, to me, $155 is pretty dam cheap for the line up i'm about to show you, and considering you can easily spend $150+ today on a single performer at a one night concert [cough my $160 Bon Jovi ticket] then I think $155 is pretty good bang for your buck.
The other issue they had was, well its on Australia day this year.
But hey, what's more Aussie than heading out to Olympic park, for a day of awesome music, in the hot sweltering sun, with a can of beer [take your lamingtons with you if you want to get that picky].
Word of warning however, none of these will allowed to be displayed...
Sorry guys, but apparently the Aussie flag will be illegal at the event. As there are concerns it will spark racial riots...
Anyway, back to the better stuff...

BDO organisers, are channelling the psychedelic look for 2011, and going a little bit trippy on us I feel.
And for those of you who missed out at midnight on Wednesday, don't despair.
There will a second show on for Sydney goers, on the 27th of Jan. [Also to please all those who don't want to attend on Australia Day]
Tickets go on sale Monday 11th October for the second show.
So get your act together, because for me Big Day Out will always be a HAIL OF A DAY!!!
