While the second announcement for the 2012 leg of iconic festival the Big Day Out was announced today, some odd decisions in tweaking the lineup in certain cities also came through the wire.

Although the Auckland lineup has already been a victim of rejigging in the way of Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All being pulled from the festival in favor of their own (yet to be announced) club show, both Adelaide and Perth have received cuts of their own, with headliner Kanye West and Mariachi El Bronx not appearing at either show. Adelaide also misses out on The Living End, while Perth doesn't get a set from the Hilltop Hoods. This has led to the Auckland, Adelaide and Perth shows being called The Original Big Day Out + Boiler Room, with the east coast shows being billed The Biggest of Big Day Out.

With the Adelaide and Perth shows, the fantastic dual main stage setup that we've all come to know and love has been taken down to a single main stage, along with the elimination of the D-pit in both cities. To reflect this however, the price of tickets including booking fees has dropped (further investigation on the Big Day Out website show that both Adelaide and Perth end up being $174.15 after booking fees, while the east coast shows are $183.30)

The second lineup has also been slashed to the aforementioned cities, as noted below:
