More Acts Announced For Big Day Out 2013

Next year’s Big Day Out just got a whole lot, well… bigger, with a whole new crop of acts added to the bill in each city.

Most of these acts are playing the Festival’s new ‘Red Stage’ and are predominantly local artists. A couple of them will be on early at the Essential Stage. The acts will also join the triple j unearthed winners from each city, who were announced earlier this week.
