We've all been waiting for it since the moment the first announcement was made. (click here) Who was going to be on the second announcement for Big Day Out 2009??
Well, the wait is over.
This morning the following artists were added to the Big Day Out for 2009. The frontman of System Of A Down, Mr Serj Tankjan. He recently released a solo album 'Elect The Dead' and hasn't been back to the Big Day Out stage since 2002! Look out for his awesomeness on the main stage. The old school punkers Dropkick Murphy's will be here too ripping and tearing it up. As mentioned in a previous article, Hot Chip will be performing once again. They toured the Big Day Out in 2007 and were an instant hit with the crowds. They now have three albums under their belts, so expect the dancefloor to be pumping full of classics.
Another artist who was recently here for a Big Day Out tour is back again. Lupe Fiasco will showcase his explosively cool sounds to the Australian people once more. Also, to keep those hip-hop fans smiling, turntablist Z-Trip will be hitting the decks to prove once more that he is a legend of the game.
Now, it ain't a true Big Day Out without the likes of some 'buzz' acts of the moment. The two bands on this announcement to fill that spot are The Black Kids (with their killer 'Partie Traumatic' debut album) and popular remixers Holy Ghost!
Let's not forget about the local talent. This year, the likes of The Vines, Died Pretty, The Getaway Plan, Mercy Arms, The Drones and many many more.
