In a shock announcement, Big Day Out organisers have revealed that the annual festival will up stakes from its usual home at the Claremont Showgrounds and will instead take place at the Arena Joondalup.
No reason has been given for this sudden turn of events, but a few obvious theories – largely centering on the Claremont City Council’s well known distaste for young people, fun, and young people having fun – have been bandied about.
All tickets are still valid, all timetables remain unchanged at this point, and the BDO crew will be issuing a new festival map ASAP.
