50/50 chance of being right, I guess, so i'm calling it early

The Big Day Out is the biggest travelling summer rock festival in Australia, kind of like what Lollapallooza used to be like.

If there's going to be a year when TBK play the BDO it's gotta be 2011

I've got no word on whether they actually are. I'll just be flummoxed if they don't

prob only tbkmagic and myself will care here but ahh well

The big day out sucks.

Ive seen the keys play here down under every trip they've made since 2003,

2003 - Metro Theatre (Sydney)
2005 - Fly By Night club (Fremantle, W.A)
2006 - Enmore Theatre (Sydney)
2007 - Great Escape Festival (Sydney)
2008 - The Manning Bar (Sydney)
2009 - The Big Top (Sydney)

I am dying with anticipation for an announcement of the boys heading back down under for their "BROTHERS" tour. The big day out is terrible, all I want to do is head off with my li'l lady & friends to enjoy some cold beers & watch the boys play their own show. They are practically Australian citizens, they are much loved down here & they love us so it shouldn't be too long before we see them again.

wow another aussie come's out of the wood work! haha

billy you made the trek to west aus for the keys?

i agree not fussed by the big day out let alone festivals in general although i could see them playing in 2011 it would seem like appropriate timing but like billy said i want my own show.

I've seen em twice at metropolis fremantle and once at the fremantle arts centre.

all very good gigs i feel like i've seen them 3 times at metropolis but for the life of me can't seperate the times? their own shows are much better.

Shoot first. Ask questions later.

@Billy yeah no one said the BDO was good. the point is it's the peak of live concert popularity - there's no bigger festival. tbk are doing all the big stuff elsewhere so why not in Oz

good to know I was prob standing near you in 2003, 2006 & 2008
