I feel for you...Dallas is lucky it's getting it's first PJ show in 10 years. Houston and San Antonio might be on that 2018 tour. :/

I'm guessing Seattle and Oakland are near-locks for second shows to be added. Think anything will happen with the extra days off between Buffalo and Woercester (Albany?) and OKC and Phoenix (Vegas or Denver?)?

Big Day Out Dates For 2014 Revealed
by Paul Cashmere on July 12, 2013

Dates for Big Day Out were revealed today after a giant billboard was put up on Punt Rd, Melbourne under Richmond railway station today.

Noise11 can reveal the published dates include Auckland, New Zealand and two confirmed dates for Sydney.

The placement of the billboard in Melbourne has accelerated the official announcement for 2014 Big Day Out dates which was to occur next Monday (July 15).

Big Day Out 2014 dates are:

January 17, Auckland, Western Springs
January 19, Gold Coast, Metricon Stadium
January 24, Melbourne, TBC
January 26 and 27, Sydney, TBC
January 31, Perth, TBC
February 2, Adelaide, TBC

Red Hot Chili Peppers headlined Big Day Out 2013. The strongest rumour for 2014 has Pearl Jam at the top of the rumour list.

As a result of today’s leak, it has emerged that there will be two Sydney events back-to-back, which West told theMusic.com.au he feels the festival has the market for.

“We didn’t feel the need to fool anybody… [US-based co-promoters] C3 felt, and I felt the same way, that if you’ve got it – flaunt it.”

He added that given both dates are on the weekend, “We want people to be able to choose which day they want to go, and if they want to go to two they can make that commitment at the time… It’s an experiment, it’s the same show twice apart from local bands, and a few bands have indicated that they’ll play different sets… it might be a total fuck-up, but it feels right.”
...

Keeping line-up hints close to his chest he said that there was likely to be three main headliners, while noting that neither Kanye West, Jay-Z or Neil Young would be any one of them.

“I was hoping for one ‘White Whale’, managed to get two and ended up with three,” he said.

If it is BDO, I'd say an arena-sized sideshow is more probable.

I really hope I can make it to either a Sydney or Melbourne show (as well as the Adelaide BDO) if that happens.

Do it! I'll be going to both those two.

As we get closer to the Big Day Out lineup announcement on July 31, more details are continuing to appear. Big Day Out CEO Adam Zammit has mentioned several new pieces of information on Twitter, saying that this year’s festival will cost $20 more than last year’s, but will add extra value by having an extra headliner. He also said that two of those headliners have never played at an Australian festival before.
