One of Australia’s favourite music events of the year is the Big Day Out festival, now well over 10 years old. The 2013 lineup contains some of the biggest acts in the world, from veterans, Red Hot Chili Peppers to Las Vegas showmen The Killers. Supporting these headliners are Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, Band of Horses and more.
While conversations about the searing heat at the Melbourne leg of the Big Day Out were becoming almost as excruciating as the billions of photons ferociously pummeling our skin, artists making up the best lineup the festival has seen in years took to the stage and ensured a whole day of sweaty musical goodness.
