    Hi Niki,

    10C are emailing that information out now.
    You should get it soon.

    Cheers.

    Hey I'm real glad Pearl Jam are heading to Oz in the summer but I won't be going.
    Big Day Out is so far from an ideal environment to see these guys. Even though there are some decent other bands on the bill, I can't handle paying that much essentially just to see Pearl Jam while being surrounded by 30000+ wankers that think Flume is the greatest thing to happen to music (no offence Flume!).
    Hopefully some folks will get to see PJ for the first time and really enjoy it.

    Hey i love Flume ;) because Saturday night at Splendour all the kiddies flocked to see Flume (playing at the same time) and cleared the stage for The National - twas fabulous :D:D:D

    Hey Jodes
    Also Airbnb would be good option for people travelling and I know in Adelaide that trains, buses etc run near the event.
    If people are looking for accom in Brisbane that you know - I have room and they can stay here for free. Just let me know who they are and that you know them and all will be good.
    Let me know if I can help out in anyway
    Thanks Jodie Eade

    How about saddened and disappointed?

    They may be my favourite musicians but I won't be shelling out $185 just to see them, at a terrible venue filled with drunken idiots.

    I hear you.

    Over a year ago I left Ireland for a new life Down Under. That summer while I was on the way over via India I missed a PJ Euro tour. The year before that EV toured solo shows over here so I was a year too early. I'll be damned if Im missing out on anything Pearl Jam next year!

    I don't care if there are kids everywhere, drunk, stoned, whatever. The Kids Are Alright. I'll be too busy rocking out to some Lightening Bolt tracks!!!

    Very.
    Excited.

    Ha. Yeh, that's a good trade-off!
    I really have nothing against Flume, but after watching his One Night Stand set, I was underwhelmed by the live version of what he does. But the kids still loved it. I would give anything to see the National. They are on my bucket list with modest Mouse and Andrew bird.

    You must, must, must see The National live. I have had the pleasure to see them four times over the years, the first time Massey Hall in 2010. That trip was organised around my bucket list of seeing PJ at MSG & The National gig nearly blew PJ MSG out of the water.... :o:o :shock:

    really? I prefer travelling alone, you'll meet other people anyway and it'snice not to be tied to anyone
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    Adelaide has public transport around the area of the festival.

    Can others confirm the shuttle situation for other cities??

    In past years when the Big Day Out was held at Wayville Showgrounds in Adelaide there were free buses back into the city, i'm guessing there will be the same thing next year from Bonython Park. There is a tram stop at Bonython Park that goes back into the city (which is free) or you can go the whole way to Glenelg. Taxis after the Big Day Out are always a nightmare.
