Big Day Out 2009
Saturday, 9th August 2008 12:00PMLook, we know it's a long way out but the sneaky whispers have already started to surface.
**Click here for the first announcement**
Some are obviously just wish-lists while others have some solid substance, so here's our take on what the line up could be:
- Metallica - New album out and BDO expats
- Vampire Weekend - made good traction playing Aussie this year
- Santogold - would make a good choice, with new albums this year
- Beck - new album to boot
- Headless Chickens - always need a nostalgic NZ band to play
- N.E.R.D. - trying to get back to their roots, smaller festival circuits might suit
- Kings of Leon - gearing up for new album
- Collapsing Cities - welcome return after conquering UK
- Nine Inch Nails - stirring up a storm with their free downloads and appearances at Lollapalooza
- CSS - if they keep on their festival road they should make it
- Black Kids - oh so hot right now
- Bloc Party - gearing up for a comeback (not block sorry mc21)

ARCTIC MONKEYS(THEY BETTER BE COMING!)
Mars Volta
MGMT
Someone that can do an awesome job like Dizzee did in the boiler room
And a good ol' headline act but not Metallica as then we will all be told wea are not hardcore enough by Metallica "fans"
Oasis?
Radiohead?
Queens Of The Stone Age?
ACDC?(that'll get the punters in)
The strokes(make a grand comeback at the big day out)
and Disturbed....nah sorry they still suck.
Disturbed doing covers of They Suck....Oh no hang on they do suck!
ACDC doing covers of Metallica doing covers of Disturbed....WOW now that would They Suck like nothing else.
Maybe Mars Volta would be cool again.
Bjork
The Dweebs
the Snorkel Riders
Dead Kennedys....with Jello!!

Also, does anyone know anything about the killers? Wikipedia says theyre confirmed, but its not exactly reliable, and the killers websites are varying shades of useless when it comes to actually getting information. They have a new album to promote so it'd make sense...

I suppose more realistically, it would be cool to have bands like Nine inch nails, bloc party or the arctic monkeys.
How about aesop rock? We need to bring aes to nz!

they've already got a tour of america booked in janruary when big day out is

Vampire Weekend!!!!
Cut off your hands
Arctic monkeys (that would be amazing if they went but i highly doubt it)
Black Kids
The View
Collapsing cities
Paolo Nutini (promoting new album)
kings of leon
klaxons
hadouken!
Vampire Weekend
Bloc Party
Arctic Monkeys- I wish
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly- Would be amazing!

Bailterspace
they have bought out new albums and i wont be able to make it to there concerts this year :(
However, the more headlines the better!
Bands like Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold!
Singers like Brendon Urie and The Ozzy Man!
Rock On!
Same with Vampire weekend and kings of leon.
I doubt MGMT will stay after their Aus tour.
My best bet on the headliners are
Coldplay (or so say rumours..)
The Grates
The Living End
The Vines (maybe - they want to go commercial so this is their chance)
The Presets (just because they are EVERYWHERE)
The Wombats
Girl talk
and possibly powderfinger, abbe may or laura marling. and maybe violent soho for a local act.
Radiohead should do there own show here (we've got vector now!!! Please come!!!)
Beck has always put on a spectacular show
Bloc Party would be sweet
CSS were crap at the K.A. And no way near as cute as there vids either, Deftones will have a new album out, so will Mastodon but i hope no really good bands come... i'm greedy & want them all to do their own shows, i get pissed off every year because they assume if you like Rage you wont like Arcade Fire and put them on at the same time... make Big Day Out a Big Week End Out!! 3 day festy is what we need. Let us pitch a tent. Amen
The Raconteurs (and bring Meg along for a sideshow!),
Feeder,
The Subways,
Weezer,
The Fratellis,
The Zutons,
Kaiser Chiefs
Franz Ferdinand must be bringing a new album out too?
Bet you can tell I'm British...
but stivvy - kill em all?
Oasis will headline
Weezer
MGMT
Bloc Party
Portishead
Nas
Kanye West
Headless Chickens.
