Big Day Out 2008 – Adelaide and Perth

News in from Adelaide Big Day Out is that one of the 34,000 punters tried to enter using a stolen ticket. Not smart – he now faces charges in court. All went well otherwise, with a record Adelaide BDO crowd.

Whilst temperatures in high 30’s couldn’t perturb 40,000 Perth attendees who packed out the Claremount Showgrounds – you have to wonder how the dehydration levels in the mosh pit were..? The Rage Against the Machine set had every fan panicked when there was a power outage, but all was resumed.

Well, the Big Day Out tour is now over for another year. Many would have suffered sore heads, UDIs, random meetings and much hilarity.

From all reports Rage Against the Machine where the standouts, but let’s not forget all the amazing local talent (the upcoming and the seasoned) who help make such memorable events.

Don’t forget, Josh Pyke’s memoirs of this years BDO are on ninemsn, complete with backstage interviews and photos.

For some humorous recollections of BDO’s past – check out Yumi’s (Channel V) BDO flashbacks. The Channel [V] site also has a swagger of interviews, photos and more.
