    Haha. No 21st lined up yet. Tbh it's the price of the Ausi BDO tix that put me off coming over. I found flights all up for NZ$420 but then BDO tix at AU$200ish each on top of that added up & now flights'd be a lot more so my 1 Akl BDO can be the cherry on top after my US tour. :)

    Big Day out have cancelled the second Sydney show:

    http://themusic.com.au/news/all/2013/09/27/big-day-out-pulls-second-sydney-show/
    The Big Day Out festival have pulled their second Sydney event, with organisers admitting that they were “perhaps a bit ambitious”.

    The date planned for Monday 27 January will now consolidate into the Sunday 26 January Australia Day festival.

    Festival promoter Ken West, who is believed to have sold his stake in the event to AJ Maddah recently, told theMusic.com.au prior to the artist announcement that the two Sydney shows were a gamble, but they felt they had the capacity for it.

    “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,” he said. “It might be a total fuck-up, but it feels right.”

    Today organisers said that were "looking into a possible extended capacity" for the Sunday event. Tickets for the Monday 27 event are automatically valid for the Sunday 26 date, but punters holding Monday 27 tickets also have the option to swap it for a date in another city or opt for a refund.

    The year's event features one of the biggest Big Day Out line-ups in years, with Arcade Fire, Blur and Pearl Jam headlining.

    I'm slightly concerned about the part in bold. If tickets for the 27th are now valid for the 26th then how are they going to keep the capacity under control and not overcrowded?

    Second Sydney show has been cancelled: January 27 gig. Check your emails.

    BIG DAY OUT 2014
    Second Sydney Show CANCELLED
    Hi all,

    Perhaps we were a bit ambitious expanding to two dates in Sydney for this year's Big Day Out ... The Sydney Big Day Out show scheduled for Monday, January 27 will now be merged into one show on Sunday, January 26th, Australia Day.

    Fans who purchased tickets for the Monday, January 27 show will have three options:

    You can use your January 27 ticket for the January 26 festival - there is no need to exchange your tickets or do anything further if you wish to attend the Big Day Out on Sunday 26 January as they are automatically valid.
    You can get a full refund until October 30, 2013 - information is listed below.
    You can exchange your 27 January ticket(s) for any other (Gold Coast, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth) Australian Big Day Out festival - information is listed below.

    We look forward to celebrating Australia Day with you ... it's going to be an AMAZING day and evening of music.

    I'd say a lot of Sydney people would have bought tickets for the January 27 BDO so as to avoid the January 26 Australia Day crowds.

    Thanks for the update. Definitely disappointing, but in my case not too much. I'm actually excited for the time this frees up for me to spend exploring Sydney. And also the refund :thumbup:

    I don't have tickets for Sydney BDO but I was thinking that the same festival two days in a row would be kind of weird.

    Enjoy Sydney .. I lived there for 20 years. It's a great city.

    Actually by the sounds of it, hardly anyone bought tickets for the 27th.

    I think PJ should back out of BDO and do a proper Australian tour.
