It hasn't exactly been a banner year for the Australian festival market, but that hasn't stopped the Big Day Out releasing a strong — if largely local — second announcement.
BDO boss Ken West had warned punters not to expect any "massive" acts for the second announce, and while that proved to be correct, there are still some very solid additions to the roster here.
