The first announcement for the Big Day Out 2011 was released today via a melodramatic video blog by eccentric party hard king Andrew W.K (who also happens to be playing the festival). While the headliners don't appeal to my tastes tooooo much, I am quite impressed by the variety and calibre of artists they've hoarded so far. And remember... this is just the first announcement - still two more to go!
