Big Day Out Sideshows

While I wasn’t personally a big fan of the Big Day Out lineup this year, and can’t really see myself braving that crowd again, there are definitely a few bands I would quite like to see at headline shows. With that in mind, here’s a bunch of Big Day Out sideshows that were just announced for Melbourne.

Battles
Saturday 28th January
The Forum

Best Coast

Corner Hotel 

Cage The Elephant
Tuesday 31st January
The Northcote Social Club 

Foster The People
Monday 30th January
The Palace Theatre 

Girl Talk

The Palace Theatre 

Kasabian and The Vaccines
Saturday 28th January
Festival Hall 

Mariachi El Bronx
Monday 30th January
Billboard 

My Chemical Romance
Tuesday 31st January
Festival Hall 

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
Tuesday 31st January
The Palais Theatre 

Röyksopp
Thursday 2nd February
The Palace Theatre 

Tickets available from all the normal places, and they all go on sale Monday November the 28th. Personally for me I’m most tempted by Girl Talk, just because he would be insanely fun, but Battles also put on one hell of a live show. In addition if you haven’t seen Foster The People live yet then you’re missing out, but for those who caught them on their past Australian tours the size of their chosen venue may be a bit of a deterrent, along with the fact that they were here so recently.
