Official – Muse, Powderfinger For Big Day Out Post by: Eddie Ruckus - Rockin' Blogger 29 September, 2009 - 7:38 AM

We told ya! If you’d listened to us and bet your house that Muse were gonna headline the 2010 Big Day Out, you’d have two houses by now!

Playing at January’s monster touring festival features some pleasant surprises indeed. Alongside Muse, Powderfinger will be making their first Big Day Out appearance in five years.

They’ll be fronting an Aussie contingent that includes Eskimo Joe [yay!], Grinspoon [yay!], The Temper Trap, Magic Dirt, Bluejuice and more.

Of the internationals, Lily Allen has come out of her recently announcement retirement from music [ha!] to appear alongside the likes of The Mars Volta, Groove Armada, Kasabian and Dizzee Rascal.

  Gerry, Scott, stop dreaming guys, the BDO is for wuss rock, pop music, and the occasional decent Aussie act (Grinspoon).
  

  If you need suffer serious insomnia, check the playlist of the BDO: Ladyhawke, Muse, Eskimo Joe, Kasabian. No problem falling asleep with that boring lot.

  Oh, and Gerry - Faith No More & Janes Addiction are coming to Australia next Feb, that is going to ROCK!

  Adam, that is what pisses me off, we have to go the the USA to see good rock bands and not everyone can afford to do that.
  

  Bring back Alternative Nation. Bands like Tool, Faith No More, Live and Powderfinger when they were new on the scene played in that back in 1995.......

  Breaking Benjamin and Avenged Sevenfold. If you got even one of these bands, I'd go.

  I reckon that's a pretty good line-up so far... and no doubt there'll be some bigger announcements happening down the track.

  I'm looking forward to seeing kasabian, Bluejuice and Tame Impala.

  yeah bring back alternative to the set. Faith No More should definitely play at the big day out. it's going to be huge if they played.
