The 2006 Big Day Out

[The Dice Man]

Massive line up looming for this year in what may be the best line-up ever.

And massive news today, it's confirmed that Muse will also be joining the bill

Haha

A supposed source has "confirmed" that Tool will be playing next year as will (maybe) RHCP

What a fantastic way to ruin a brilliant line-up

TOOL wont play either. They dont really like outdoor festival gigs from what I can gather.

Good rumour, but highly unlikley I reckon.

i don't know about you guys, but i had a fantastic time at the 2006 big day out... too bad i will be overseas for the 2007 one...

 

[The Dice Man]

[Carlos]

This would suck...

Melbourne Big Day Out 2007 in doubt

In what may prove to be a major stumbling block for the Melbourne leg of the 2007 Big Day Out, an application to use Albert Park for the event has been knocked back.

The event had been held for 12-years at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds but was moved this year due to redevelopment of the grounds.

The local council only allowed the event to proceed as a one-off at Princess Park in 2006. A possible return of the Big Day Out to the showgrounds may be on the cards, but is not an ideal solution, with previous problems with stages and crowd movements at the venue.

 

[The Dice Man]

Surely something will be worked out.

Is there still land available at Sunbury?

Oy, are you bagging the RHCP?!

Ive heard that they have verbally said that they will headline it, but have not signed anything, but once again its only a rumour.

 

[AdelUniCrowFan]

Trying to confuse people are you.
The 2007 BDO looks promising so far with RHCP, Muse, Tool being linked to it. Though the only one of this that I'd expect would be RHCP considering they were signed for it last year but pulled due to them not having their album finished.

Courtney Love was also linked to the 07 BDO earlier in the year but hopefully she'll miss due to rehab (or something similar).

AFI want to come back for this years.

 

[DynamoUltra]

Why don't they put the Melbourne BDO at the entertainment precint? Rod Laver + Vodaphone + MCG?

I believe the tennis is on (or at least around that time) which rules that area out and the G would never allow it. There's got to be somewhere will enough park land for it.

You really have no idea do ya mate?
They were the best i've seen at the big day out in 2000 and a return in 2007 would make for a huge day/night.

I read a rumour about The Killers in a gossip column the other day

Well dont i feel like a fool

^^
I think it is generally late September, early October that the first announcement is made.

So until September, it's all rumour and innuendo. Though if RHCP and Muse are there, I'll be there too.

 

[cats2rise]

Flea from the RHCP has basically said that they are, and I do not think he would lie.. whats he got to gain from it?

 

[Atreyu]

According to some Journo at the Herald Sun, Davey got his wish. Afi will be playing.
If they don't do sideshows, I won't be happy.. but I'm living in the hope that they will.

Well at least this time if the peeppers come anthony kiedis wont get the chance to chuck a little hissy fit and kick Mr Bungle off the tour.
Just a pity that he single handedly cost thousands of fans a chance at seeing one of the best and unique bands for the last time in Australia.
Tosser.

He also had a massive fight with his girlfriend at the time in the middle of Melbourne.

I've got a feeling The Who might make themselves avalable.
