Tickets for January’s Big Day Out go on sale to the general public this Thursday August 8, and although there’s another two dates in Sydney this summer – Sunday January 26 and Monday January 27 – you’ll want to get in quick. The 2014 lineup has been hyped for months as the festival’s biggest ever, and now we know why: Pearl Jam and Arcade Fire will be there with new albums to play, plus Blur visit Australia for the first time in 17 years. Time to dig those Fred Perry shirts out of the closet. Then there’s Snoop Dogg AKA Snoop Lion, Major Lazer, Tame Impala, Flume, Grouplove, The Naked and Famous, Toro Y Moi, Mudhoney and more… OK, the hype was fair.
