Grinderman seem a certainly for Big Day Out 2011 but the word on the street is that Soundgarden will definitely not be coming.
The recently reformed Soundgarden were the hot favourite as headline act. In fact, the played Big Day Out in 1997 had a stopover in Hawaii on the way home for a gig, and then broke up.
Undercover’s biz-spy tells us Soundgarden was a goer right up until yesterday.
However, Nick Cave will debut Grinderman at Big Day Out 2011, we hear. When Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds performed at Big Day Out in 1995, Kylie Minogue joined them on stage to perform ‘Where The Wild Roses Grow’.
Blink-182 is a well-known leak. The first round of artists for Big Day Out 2011 will be revealed on Tuesday.
