LAST POST: BIG DAY OUT 2008

They say death and taxes are the only 2 things you can be certain of in life, but whoever thought up that depressing pearl of wisdom failed to consider the Big Day Out. Arriving on our doorsteps just a month after Santa does, the BDO juggernaut is as much of a part of the Australian summer as blowflies and beer (and manages to includes both).

Dates for the upcoming season are as follows…

Gold Coast Jan 20
Sydney Jan 25
Melbourne Jan 28
Adelaide Feb  1
Perth Feb  3
