Ok, if anyone else has seen the final list of the acts playing at BDO is it possible to tell who's actually headlining or are we assuming it's Mudvayne?

The Go! Team!!!
Since the first announcement of stellar artists performing at this year’s BIG DAY OUT, tickets have been snapped up at record speed, so we’ve decided to treat you to all the final BIG DAY OUT additions in one mega-supasize-announcement. Below you’ll find the next round of international acts and Australian touring artists who will take to the stage at each BIG DAY OUT. For local stars in each city, simply take a trip to the BIG DAY OUT website via the links below.
BIG DAY OUT-ers beware! 2006 heralds the return of the the fantastically frightening MUDVAYNE (USA) with their visceral, unrelenting, and inventive sound. (ALL SHOWS).
Taking messed-up samples, drums, deft lyrical skills and an array of instruments that goes from banjo to melodica, THE GO! TEAM (UK) make an aural cacophony that makes Bollywood soundtracks seem mundane. (ALL SHOWS)
British kids, THE SUBWAYS (UK) are a teen dream rapidly mutating into a rock heavyweight – an energetic, songwriting tour-de-force. Live, they’re a hybrid of punk, fuzzy rock and chaotic soul, making a monster sound well beyond their years. (ALL SHOWS)
Few have blown away the world urban music scene over the past year like Sri-Lankan born M.I.A (UK). Part bhangra, part hip hop and all soul, M.I.A.’s music smashes the border between Sri Lanka and West London. (SYD THROUGH TO PERTH SHOWS)
Philadephia’s COMMON (USA) has weaved hip hop in and out of poetry, social commentary, jazz and straight-up head-nodding beats. COMMON gets the hands in the air and moves the feet. (NZ & EAST COAST SHOWS)
If you took The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds and forced it to breed with a copy of Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique, you’d end up with Boston rapper EDAN (USA). (NZ & EAST COAST SHOWS)
In a world where bling and booty are part of the rap-pop bandwagon, JEAN GRAE (USA) throws a well-deserved spanner in the works. The New York-based MC takes to the female rap stereotype with a hammer, knocking it out with smooth rhymes and a soulful conscience. (NZ & EAST COAST SHOWS)
Direct from Scotland, get swept up in MYLO’s (UK) infectious grooves. His track Drop the Pressure is still nothing less than an anthem, encapsulating the 21st century electronic melee of disco, electro and house. (ALL SHOWS)
Founder of DFA Records and frontman of LCD Soundsystem, DJ JAMES MURPHY’s (USA) beats and riffs will chain you to the dancefloor at the BDO. (ALL SHOWS)
From Cincinnati to BIG DAY OUT come THE GREENHORNES (USA), an authentic rock’n’roll trio with harmonies that drip honey, psychedelic leanings to sweep you off your feet and a stomping good dose of garage rockin’ blues. (ALL SHOWS)
NZ hard rockers SHIHAD have returned to their roots and are back in black, ready to RAWK! (ALL SHOWS)
Erskineville kings WOLFMOTHER are on a path to rock superstardom both in Oz and abroad. Channeling the Sabbath (but much less wasted) and varoius other 70s influences (take it or leave it) WOLFMOTHER make monster psych rock for the masses. (ALL SHOWS)
Shimmy over to the Boiler Room at the BDO to catch the formidable team of KID KENOBI and MC SHURESHOCK as they fill the dancefloor with their fun-tastic breaks and MC-ing this summer. (ALL SHOWS)
At the forefront of Oz hip hop, THE HILLTOP HOODS have become festival favourites with their explosive live shows, so come on down and fall in love with the HOODIES from the front row at the BIG DAY OUT. (ALL AUS SHOWS)
Fans of Australian rock take note, COG are boarding the bus and coming to a BIG DAY OUT stage near you. A busy touring schedule has seen the band develop flawless live performances of their progressive mesmerising rock. (ALL AUS SHOWS)
The BEASTS OF BOURBON - grand overlords of the Australian pub rock scene. The malignant rock menace of Tex Perkins has fronted the BEASTS since their debut album The Axeman's Jazz…and the BEASTS OF BOURBON bring their dirty, sweaty rock ‘n’ roll to the BIG DAY OUT. (ALL AUS SHOWS)
After eleven years of big dance music, big fun and the formation of a cult following, Oz music festival darlings SONICANIMATION will join the BIG DAY OUT for their last shout. (ALL AUS SHOWS)
Treading the path between melancholy indie pop and atmospheric rock, SARAH BLASKO’s live performances are intimate, energetic and ethereal and carried off with style, soul and grace. Don’t miss SARAH BLASKO lighting up the BIG DAY OUT in 2006. (ALL AUS SHOWS)
Club crowd darling, DJ AJAX is Australia’s prince of deck-ness and will be spinning up a storm on the BIG DAY OUT. Mixing the cheese with the sleaze, he’s one of Sydney’s best party DJs. (ALL AUS SHOWS)
Melbourne’s Master of Bass DJ JASON MIDRO hit the decks in 1986 and has never looked back. A fixture in the Australian dance scene with main stage performances at some of the biggest dance party events JASON MIDRO will take you on a trip through the Sound of Now. (ALL AUS SHOWS)
If you’ve been in search of a no BS rock’n’roll absolute, search no longer as the BIG DAY OUT presents Warrnambool’s own AIRBOURNE. Be prepared for these rock monsters to serve up a shirts-off, no-inhibitions, rambunctious rock’n’roll extravaganza. (ALL AUS SHOWS)
FAST CREW are NZ newest hip hop stars. For an eclectic mix of hip hop, pop, funk, underground styles , MC–ing, infectious rhymes and sing-a-long choruses catch the hip hop train that stops all stations with FAST CREW at the BIG DAY OUT 2006. So Addictive. (NZ and EAST COAST SHOWS)
Want some dirty rock that you just gotta dance to? Then step right up to experience THE PRESETS. Their live electro caperings have developed a reputation throughout Oz for busting moves between rockin’-out and dance fury, making for one hellava sweaty BDO party. (ALL AUS SHOWS)
Art-rock meets jangly pop with a desperate edge, BIT BY BATS will thrill BDO audiences with their rockin’ tripped out 80s sounds. (SYD, MEL, ADEL SHOWS)
Call her an unruly electro punk, sonic marauder or what you will, but do not miss MU working you over with her hi-mutant discoid punk performance art at the BDO. (GC, SYD, MELB SHOWS)
See what the inside of Dr Dre's drum machine might look like with AFRA AND THE INCREDIBLE BEATBOX BAND (JAPAN). Author of the incredible "Digital Breath" album, AFRA is one of the most influential and revered beatboxers to emerge from Japan. Get set for a whirlwind of beats, breaks and imaginative loops created with the sole aid of AFRA'S thorax. (SYD, MELB SHOWS)
DRAG, Darren Middleton from Powderfinger’s foray into solo performance, was heralded with their debut album The Way Out. Filled with luscious melodies, rolling rhythms and an Abbey Road sound, DRAG's soft rock is perfect for that sunny road trip up north. (SYD, MELB SHOWS)

From what I heard, there were only two announcements in Aust, but I *think* NZ was possibly getting a third. I assume that means no more international acts though.
Submitted by jesstherese on Tue, 2005-11-15 19:50.
Here's the thing - the press release that Eddie cutnpasted above is an Australian press release - I guess he got it from the BDO website - and in Australia there are only 2 announcements this year. However for the Auckland event the three-announcement format remains, and there will be one further announcement, in early December.
However Mars Volta will be better than Led Zeppelin this time around (oh wait for the Jan 06 links back to this overstatement!). Do not miss Mars Volta especially if it's a green stage for them.
If they are on when there is another decent band on I will be taking issue.
Then you gots Iggy, Soulwax, Murphy, 'had, etc etc.
I know it doesn't sound like perfect line up on the surface but it will serve thee well I believe.
yahoo, LCD soundsystem. theres a reason to go. can't wait to see James Murphy's fat ass shakin on stage. Guessin he won't bring the band though which sucks eggs.
yeah nah on second thoughts its still a really lame line up. James Murphy's only djing, M.I.A. woulda been good to see even if she's not my cuppa t. wheres the arcade fire, bloc party, rakes, art brut- anything new with some energy thats not nu metal? don't they realise its had its day? god i must be getting old. When i realise that the biggest festival is in fact aimed at 15 yr olds. Least we get some hip-hop where the ockers don't. Common + Edan be good i reckon.
o yeah, forgot about them. they'll be good i think. Have only really heard them in the background and i've got the australian tour ep but i don't know if thats representative really... ?
I sure hope the organisers give a little more consideration to the scheduling this time - last year was a nightmare of heartbreaking clashes interspersed with endless deadzones.
I hope mudvayne are headlining - but that won't be the case. Seems strange though, they don't really fit in with any other bands on the bill - Why does the BDO keep trying to please veryonelike this?

// muderdolls a few years back. >>
>> SUCKED! man... they really suck. I saw 'em veeery breifly at the Gold Coast BDO. They only had about 20 teenie-boppers watching them,....ummm 2002?... 70 thousand people there, it was MAD...and at least 40 degrees during the day... and no free water.....that suuuuccckkeed.
yeah same ..heh, I mean they were no Pearl Jam or anything but they were still good fun. lots of energy and an understandable distaste for the sun.
*extended grumble about second announcement* ..Sonic Youth, Pixies, Patti Smith ..where are you! seriously..how fuckin' cool would that lineup be... ; /)!
they are nice guys too. they slayed the 'green stage' in melbourne with an just simply fun set. at the melbourne band/hotel party they were the rank outsiders huddled in the corner of the hotel bar. teina ended up "crossing the divide" and intoducing them to QOTSA, Sparta and Deftones lads. An hour later we were all pissed and the Murderdolls were the nicest guys and had lotsa new friends. Good times.

Hmmmm doesn't look like it be worth coming up for, since theres only 3 'international' bands I would be interested in seeing - Stooges, Mars Volta & Sleater-Kinney
Oh well, I couldn't really afford it anyway
hahahahahaaaahahaha.... i dont believe this... this announcement is too crap to contemplate..... all i can do is laugh...... I wouldn't pay $50 for this SHIT..... the following is from the website:

BIG DAY OUT ANNOUNCES FINAL ADDITIONS FOR A SUPER-SIZED,

Star spangled lol... hahahaha... hold on let me say that one more time.... STAR SPANGLED... who the fuck took over what used to be the best music event we ever get to see... I could bend over... and take a shit right here right now... that would contain more ' stars" then this years big day out... They go from the last couple of years to this..... 2 years ago Metallica... the strokes.. the darkness.... muse.....= the lost prophets... the black eyed peas.... ect... then this....??? A shitty ass duo that probabaly never got around to getting a bassist because they sounded too shit to want to play for them .. sure.. they are a half decent act in terms of their name and status but fuck this just isn't good enough... who the fuck ??? i would barely want to see any of these bands... and this is the bigday out... what happened to all the fucking diversity... what a joke is all i can say... I hope no one goes even tho i know people will go just for the fuck of it... that way at least if no one goes and tickets dont sell as well.. the organisers know that they cant ever try and fuck us over again... if they can sell the tickets without having to pay for more bands... why pay for more bands... i dont even think this festival would have costed them half as much as it did 2 years ago.. metallica would have probabably charged more then this years whole festival combined... so if they can spend up half as much as the last few years...( and judging by the lineup... i think its pretty fucking fair to say that they will pocket a few more pennies) AND might i add increase the fucking price of the tickets... why do you think they should do it again next year....where is my money going
out of every ticket id estimate
$20 - venue
$3 pa
$3 whitestripes
25c to pay for the beer in which to pay all the highschool garagebands that are now going to peform on the main stage
that leaves the organisers with.... MORE FUCKING MONEY THEN I SHOULD EVEN BOTHER COUNTING WHILST POINTING A BIG FUCKING FINGER RIGHT IN YOUR FACE
nah just joking i love this years bigday out its going to be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chow
Was tossing between BDO and Parachute - all's said and done, BDO is a LOT better!
Of course, BDO always had strong bands. Parachute started off well by bringing in strong bands... now for the past few years (including the upcoming 2006 festival), it's all same, old, boring bands. Bands are crucial and if a festival doesn't innovate in that area, then watch the numbers dip... at least we've got some good concerts and festivals coming such as Big Day Out, and concerts by Coldplay and U2...! Now THAT'S money worth spending on!

//who's actually headlining or are we assuming it's Mudvayne?
I would assume Iggy and the Stooges are a bigger name act.
Iggy would definitely be the headlining act, I would say anyways.
Line up is looking pretty good though.
There is one more announcement isn't there?
Cancel my last question...
THE worst announcement ever.....go iggy though!
I f'n rekcon x 2
I heard there is still one more announcement in December. The topic name is therefore misleading.
// I heard there is still one more announcement in December.
jess, can you confirm one way or the other?
From what I heard, there were only two announcements in Aust, but I *think* NZ was possibly getting a third. I assume that means no more international acts though.
But I'm not jess, so don't quote me.
Yes, there is one more announcement in early December.
"so we’ve decided to treat you to all the final BIG DAY OUT additions in one mega-supasize-announcement"
Doesn't that mean they have combined the two announcements...in to one mega-supasize announcement?
This being the reason why I said " cancel my last question" regarding the next announcement in one of my posts above
I'm hearing/hoping it may be LCD Soundsystem?
//Doesn't that mean they have combined the two announcements...in to one mega-supasize announcement?
...for Australia, because the Sydney one sold out already.
Here's the thing - the press release that Eddie cutnpasted above is an Australian press release - I guess he got it from the BDO website - and in Australia there are only 2 announcements this year. However for the Auckland event the three-announcement format remains, and there will be one further announcement, in early December.
// who's actually headlining or are we assuming it's Mudvayne?
The White Stripes, of course.
// who's actually headlining or are we assuming it's Mudvayne?
//The White Stripes, of course
Really?? out of that line up I would have choosen The Stooges
Yeah, I see what you're saying... head's right though, it's the White Stripes :) and I CAN'T WAIT!!
The White Stripes will be incredibly good.
However Mars Volta will be better than Led Zeppelin this time around (oh wait for the Jan 06 links back to this overstatement!). Do not miss Mars Volta especially if it's a green stage for them.

When you assume things, you make an ass out of you.

The Go Team are energetic, and very fresh.
o yeah, forgot about them. they'll be good i think. Have only really heard them in the background and i've got the australian tour ep but i don't know if thats representative really... ?
// Common + Edan be good i reckon.
Damn straight. Really keen to see them.
i wonder why M.I.A is only playing australia ....
awh seriously! man I would love to see her.
I sure hope the organisers give a little more consideration to the scheduling this time - last year was a nightmare of heartbreaking clashes interspersed with endless deadzones.
I hope mudvayne are headlining - but that won't be the case. Seems strange though, they don't really fit in with any other bands on the bill - Why does the BDO keep trying to please veryonelike this?
... I think it is obvious why they try to please everyone... isn't it?
They always have.
Slipknot didn't really fit in either, neither did the muderdolls a few years back.
// muderdolls a few years back. >>
>> SUCKED! man... they really suck. I saw 'em veeery breifly at the Gold Coast BDO. They only had about 20 teenie-boppers watching them,....ummm 2002?... 70 thousand people there, it was MAD...and at least 40 degrees during the day... and no free water.....that suuuuccckkeed.

... I want to have been at that party.
shit. me too, please.
Hmmmm doesn't look like it be worth coming up for, since theres only 3 'international' bands I would be interested in seeing - Stooges, Mars Volta & Sleater-Kinney
Oh well, I couldn't really afford it anyway
AFI will be fucken good
nah, not really into that punk sorta thing, but in saying that I haven't really heard that much of them
*Very very very disappointed and may go and sit in the corner and cry*
SUCKY ANNOUNCEMENT. Not a single band that I was hoping for.
Yay Gestalt Switch *tears of joy*
Common, brilliant - BLOODY BRILLIANT! headline act, live performance wize. yay for shapeshifter too, no others worth mentioning. poor.
Its not the best lineup but The White Stripes and Kings of Leon and Mars Volta will be awesome live
Iggy is the old campaigner worth seeing live
Mudvayne were awesome last time at BDO - even if u don't like heavy stuff worth a look
Wolfmother will be wicked and the Living End always crank
Shihad a NZ heroes - they destroyed Wellington earlier in the year
I would pay $110 to see just The Kings of Leon and The White Stripes
Not the best but still good 12 bands I wanna see - Chur
i'm pretty much just going for the first announcement.
the third announcement better be good.
yawn.
