This summer, Big Day Out will play host to the only Australian shows by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
These, including our own Gold Coast show on January 20, will be their first Australian festival shows since their record setting headline performances in 2000.
Big Day Out is also welcoming back festival heavyweights THE KILLERS who return with a new album under their belts.
Also on the line-up are more than 30 first-timers to the tour in 2013, including Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, Band Of Horses, Animal Collective, Against Me!, 360, Foals, B.O.B, Sleigh Bells, Jeff The Brotherhood, Off!, Jagwar Ma, Delta Spirit, Every Time I Die and House Vs Hurricane.
Making their first Australian visits will be Alabama Shakes, Childish Gambino, Logo, Death Grips, Adventure Club and Gary Clark Jr.
Australia’s original dance music festival within a festival, The Boiler Room, will return to its ground-breaking roots, bringing you performances from the future so you can dance in the now. Dance-punk headliners THE BLOODY BEETROOTS will perform the world premier of their new live show, along with full production sets from Kaskade, Crystal Castles, Pretty Lights, Nicky Romero, Morgan Page and Sampology with his AV / DJ show.
