There was a great deal of scrutiny in the lead up to the 20th anniversary of the Big Day Out with regards to the festivals relevance. Poor ticket sales and the announcement of the last ever Auckland leg, sans headliner Kanye West, did nothing to help the ailing publicity.

We take a look into all the happenings in the V Energy Green Room at the Gold Coast Big Day Out.

An ‘anything goes’ festival; with five stages emitting a mix of dub, indie, soul and techno. Held at GC Parklands, similar setup to BDO, only half the size, Good Vibrations 2011 was a testimony to the fact that good things can come in small packages!

After Queensland's recent spate of continuous rain and devastating flooding, it was refreshing to find a day of sunshine awaiting in preparation for Big Day Out Gold Coast 2011.
