News : BDO sideshows announced

By on January 13, 2014

BDO and Soundwave have announced some tasty sideshows to coincide with the 2014 Big Day Out across Australia. Metal and hard rock enthusiasts will be pleased to know Ghost, Vista Chino, Deftone, Mudhoney and Primus will be doing some sideshows throughout Australia over the next week. Check out all the dates and details below.

Ghost

Papa Emeritus II and his Nameless Ghouls, collectively referred to as GHOST, are taking a spiritual stance in Australia while with Big Day Out.

GHOST will be performing their live ritual at the locations known as The HiFi in Sydney and Melbourne this month. GHOST will be reading from their sophomore psalm Infestissumam and their most recent If You Have Ghost, which was produced by lord Dave Grohl and released to the masses in the Year 13.

These live rituals have been described as “infinitely soul-nourishing” (Loudwire), so we must warn that you may not have experienced anything like it before.

Deftones

THE DEFTONES live show isn’t one that’s easily forgotten. After selling out their last Australian tour in support of their latest album Koi No Yokan, crowds of thousands were left desperate for more.

“a gritty, grinding showstopper of metal and unapologetic energy.”
– Consequence of Sound

As one of the recent additions to the Big Day Out 2014 lineup, it is our pleasure to announce that DEFTONES will be performing a sideshow in Sydney this month.

Don’t miss your chance to get up close and personal with one of metal’s greats.

Primus

Often imitated but never replicated, PRIMUS are as unique as they come. Led by Les Claypool, one of the most chaotic bass players in history, they have remained a boundary-pushing force throughout their illustrious career.

“..the scathing chuckles of Frank Zappa, Rush’s tech-metal fluency and the improvising verve of the Grateful Dead.” – Rolling Stone

2014 will mark 3 decades in the game for California’s PRIMUS. To celebrate, we are inviting you to spend An Evening With Primus in Sydney this January.

PRIMUS will be playing two full sets, and in their most intimate setting to date in Australia, this will be a dream come true for any PRIMUS fan.

Vista Chino

Led by John Garcia and Brant Bjork, VISTA CHINO (or Kyuss by any other name) are on their way to unleash their Californian desert fury across the country as part of Big Day Out 2014.

2013′s critically acclaimed album Peace is an album of “bulldozing stoner anthems” (SPIN), proving that VISTA CHINO show no signs of slowing down.

We are proud to announce that VISTA CHINO will be playing two intimate headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne later this month. Get ready as VISTA CHINO will be here to fuck shit up and fuck you up. Consider the rest history.
