Big Day Out lineups by year

Big Day Out began in 1992 in Sydney and has expanded to include several Australian venues and Auckland, New Zealand.

The line ups have included Nirvana, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Chemical Brothers, Tool, Blink-182, Marilyn Manson, Muse, Hole, Nine Inch Nails and Red Hot Chili Peppers, while also promoting local Australian and New Zealand artists such as Spiderbait, Regurgitator, Powderfinger, Grinspoon, Silverchair and The Living End.

The second official line-up for the 2010 installment was posted on the Big Day Out website just before midnight 11 November 2009.

For the second year in a row Sydney held two festivals due to increasing popularity of the event.

Nicky Romero cancelled Perth, but instead played the first four shows on the 2013 tour.
