Big Day Out Unveils its 1st Announcement for 2011

BDO2011

Ah, that time has come once again. Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you the 2011 Big Day Out 1st Announcement! With Tool headlining, we must admit it’s not the headliner we were hoping for (e.g. someone who HASN’T headlined BDO in the last 4 years), but the lineup is pretty damn amazing nonetheless.

Motherfucking Rammstein. Will they bring their massive penis water guns?

ANDREW W.K. – Will he get the party started? Only if you’re partying hard.

IGGY AND THE FUCKING STOOGES. PRIMAL SCREAM!? 

And OMG PNAU is back!! It’ll be great to see them no doubt headline the boiler room with M.I.A., LCD Soundsystem, Crystal Castles and Booka Shade.
