Big Day Out Adds Vert Ramp Stage and HEAPS of Local Acts!

BIG DAY OUT have announced that their specially made 14ft high x 40ft wide beauty of a vert ramp will also host it’s very own Stage in Adelaide and Perth and will take over the main arena as soon as the main stage bands have unplugged!

Nothing like witnessing the awesomeness of the world’s best skaters to a live soundtrack by the likes of MARIACHI EL BRONX, THE BRONX, CAGE THE ELEPHANT and REGURGITATOR all in the summer sun … we can almost see it now!

Big Day Out has also always been a proud supporter of Australian music and each year they relish the opportunity to expose audiences to a diverse range of truly talented local artists in each city. Many of the Australian bands on this year’s national tour started their Big Day Out history with the one off appearance in their home towns and we have a feeling that this year’s stellar additions are all destined for greatness and we’ll no doubt be seeing them gracing the Big Day Out stages for many years to come!

Joining Big Day Out in each city will be a host of up and coming local acts set to rock your collective socks off so without further adieu, local additions are:
