Australasia's huge touring music festival, Big Day Out, hits Adelaide at the Royal Adelaide Showground.
The festival begins its tour in Auckland, New Zealand then explodes into Australia over the following three weekends. The newly-reformed Rage Against the Machine spearhead the 2008 line-up, with their first performances outside of the USA since their return to the music scene. Björk is sure to bring a surprise or two to the programme, Arcade Fire make their first live appearance Down Under, and also on the bill are Dizzee Rascal, Grinspoon, Hilltop Hoods and Billy Bragg.
Established in 1992, the festival has grown steadily each year to reach its present status as Australia's biggest music event, attracting top bands from around the world, as well as the finest Antipodean talent.
