Big Day Out 2014 Lineup Begins To Leak

UPDATE: Big Day Out 2014 lineup is finally here, and it sure is a big ‘un!

The first act to be confirmed for the Big Day Out 2014 lineup has revealed themselves, jumping the gun on the official announcement, set for tonight at 8pm. Still in the country after Splendour In The Grass, Portland psych rockers Portugal. The Man have announced they will also be part of Big Day Out 2014.

In a brief statement posted alongside an image of the band (below), P.TM say, “Seems like forever away but we are excited about going back to Australia for Big Day Out summer 2014.” Considering they’re still in the country after their Splendour appearance, we can see why January 2014 must seem like a while away.

Before blowing us away at Splendour, the Portugal. The Man crew stopped by Music Feeds Studio to live stream a few songs, and partake in a bit of rooftop cricket (which turned into some fairly inappropriate spanking) – check out some of their performance below.

The full Big Day Out lineup is expected at 8pm tonight – stay tuned to Music Feeds for all our coverage, including exclusive interviews with Big Day Out organisers and bands set for next year’s festival.
