Ken West, Big Day Out promoter has penned a letter revealing some surprises for the The Big Day Out 2013.
This summer, Big Day Out will play host to the ONLY AUSTRALIAN SHOWS by the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. These will be their first Australian festival shows since their record setting headline performances in 2000. Big Day Out is also welcoming back festival heavyweights THE KILLERS who return with a new album under their belts.
Big Day Out also welcomes 30 first-timers to the tour in 2013 including YEAH YEAH YEAHS, VAMPIRE WEEKEND, BAND OF HORSES, ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, AGAINST ME!, 360, FOALS, B.o.B, SLEIGH BELLS, JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD, OFF!, JAGWAR MA, DELTA SPIRIT, EVERY TIME I DIE and HOUSE VS HURRICANE.
ALABAMA SHAKES, CHILDISH GAMBINO, LOGO, DEATH GRIPS, ADVENTURE CLUB and GARY CLARK JR will play Australia for the first time.
Australia's original dance music festival within a festival, The Boiler Room will return to it's ground breaking roots, bringing you performances from the future so you can dance in the now. Dance-punk headliners THE BLOODY BEETROOTS will perform the world premier of their new live show along with full production sets from KASKADE, CRYSTAL CASTLES, PRETTY LIGHTS, NICKY ROMERO, MORGAN PAGE and SAMPOLOGY with his AV / DJ show.
In other news The Big Day Out have decided that it's time to make ticket pricing more fair and simple, so they've held the price and absorbed all the frustrating extras to give you an all-inclusive ticket price. No booking fees, no charges for credit cards, no carbon offsets, no mailing costs. And for all of you in Perth,
no transport levy! $165 flat. No surprises, no kidding!
Also, The Big Day Out are thrilled to be offering a premium ticket for the first time, designed for the kind of person that wants something more - an experience that money CAN buy. Its called the 'Like A Boss' ticket and as the title suggests its about fun not status... or is that status not fun?
Either way, check out the extras included and if the OASIS feels like the place you need to be, get your people to contact our people via the website. Its $265 flat and numbers are very limited.
