“A chronicle of the history of Big Day Out, the birth and growth of the culture of the Australian festival scene. This series is a tribute to those who founded and worked so hard on building a sonic universe that meant so much to Australian music lovers. Brilliant and surprisingly touching.”

The last one I went to had Rage Against the Machine headlining -...”Read full review »

“Forever spewing that I never go to go to The Big Day Out, I was too young for majority of them but I love festivals now, my favourite being Laneway and Spilt Milk. Although I’d say the OG BDO days would’ve been amazing
Awesome podcast I loved learning about it, great listen ✌️”
