LOOKING FOR THE 2010 SECOND LINE-UP? RIGHT OVER HERE.

GO WILD IN THE NEW BIG DAY OUT 2010 FORUM.

After months of hearsay, the 2010 Big Day Out line-up has finally arrived. The summer roadshow is once again set to be a heavyweight affair. Triumphant at the top of the bill is blockbusting trio Muse, who’ll bring their sci-fi theatrics back to the mainstage. This time, though, they will lead The Resistance as headliners.

The international contingent is bursting at the seams in 2010. After a knockout tour last year, The Mars Volta has been lured back to unleash its visceral live show on Big Day Out. UK festival kings Kasabian will rally the people with their bona-fide anthems, while irrepressible pop star Lily Allen renews her honorary Aussie passport.

Further down the list but perhaps most exciting for many FLers are Atlanta metal juggernaut Mastodon, well-heeled upstarts the Horrors and indie idols The Decemberists in the – œside stage for those in the know’ spot.

As ever, a good chunk of the line-up is Australian-made. All touting new albums in 2009, Powderfinger, Grinspoon and Eskimo Joe head up the local charge. WA’s exacting masters of prog-rock Karnivool are on hand to help sweat it out, while the likes of Ladyhawke and The Temper Trap start the dancing.
