In spite of lagging ticket sales, the 2012 Big Day Out boasts one of the strongest lineups in years. Sure, you’ve got a couple of frequent visitors, but from the top to the bottom, artists we’ve never seen in Australia litter the lineup, alongside the best in local talent. So we’ve put together 10 tracks we can’t wait to hear at Big Day Out – some we’ll be hearing for the first time, some old favourites – which was actually terribly difficult to narrow down. This should be one hell of a party.
10. Cage The Elephant “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked”
9. Odd Future / Tyler, The Creator “Yonkers”
8. Kanye West “Runaway”
7. The Jezabels “Endless Summer”
6. Battles “Ice Cream”
5. Frenzal Rhomb “Never Had So Much Fun”
4. Foster The People “Pumped Up Kicks”
3. Soundgarden “Blackhole Sun”
2. Mariachi El Bronx “Revolution Girls”
1. Royksopp “Happy Up Here”
