Attention all hardcore Soundgarden fans - we are thrilled to announce that the grunge legends have added sideshows to their appearance at the Big Day Out.
Triple M is presenting both shows in Sydney and Melbourne and it's going to be HUGE. To hear classics like "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman" played in a live setting... well that's pretty special not too mention the amazing vocals, shredding guitars, pounding bass and thundering drums.
Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd, Matt Cameron and Chris Cornell reunited at last year's Lollapalooza festival with Soundgarden releasing a career-spanning retrospective album called Telephantasm, which included one new song called "Black Rain".
Following the band's split in 1997 Chris, Kim, Matt and Ben have kept themselves busy with various projects. Chris teamed up with members of Rage Against The Machine to front Audioslave and pursued a solo career that saw him tour Australia this year.
Tickets to general public go on sale from Tuesday, 6 Dec 2011.
