Beastie boys at Big Day Out in 2005?

[icy manipulator]

So what's the gos? does anyone have anything to say about the rumours going around the BB are going headline Big Day Out 2005 in Australia? Or are the organisers going to get some ghetto ass band to headline again?

dont wanna be getting my hopes up for nothing

[Old Noogan]

ive heard that rumour too. I think it would be better if they played somewhere like horden again though

[Egg Man]

Are Big Day Out rumours usually true? Well I'm gonna start saving now anyway. Unless theres an age restriction.... ...is there?

[revolt]

i'm really hoping they do their own tour, or BDO side shows at least.

[zorra_chiflada]

oh, you know what would be the best thing??
beastie boys at the falls festival!!
yeah, come to tassie!

(yes i know, unlikely)

[Old Noogan]

I thought i should share this with fellow australians, The Footy Show was just on tv and some old-guys band was playing and then, out of nowhere came "She thinks shes the passionate one" , lyrics in the song!. that was unexpected.

was it "ballroom blitz?"

[Old Noogan]

yeah thats the one!!!!!!
i thought they were saying marble place!

heard the song before but never listened to it properly

[Pres Zount]

Come to tassie! You can stay at my house!

[Old Noogan]

shit has tasmania grown or something :p

there sure seems to be a lot of you guys getting around!

[Kerouac Jack]

yeah thats the one!!!!!!
i thought they were saying marble place!

heard the song before but never listened to it properly
Cheap Trick Right?

[ils]

I'd prefer them to do their own tour, and then the focus can be on them. I don't want to be in the crowd with some jonny come lately fans either.

[zorra_chiflada]

i'd give my appendix for the beasties to come to tassie....
...that is, if i still had it!

(maybe it's in a jar somewhere? if anyone has seen it, let me know)

[Old Noogan]

exactly.

[icy manipulator]

Yeah, but what would be even better is that if they did their own tour and BDO as well like Metalica last year or something (y)

[Old Noogan]

Yeah but what would be even better than that would be if they did there own tour, BDO, and a surprise act like when they dressed up as pirates.

[hitmonlee]

i heard acdc are doing the bdo

first round of announcements should be in a couple of weeks

[icy manipulator]

alot more sources have been telling me beasties are going headline instead of acdc. You know how pissed i'd be if acdc headlined instead of beasties? i reckon about 40000 in qld would agree with me too.

I've also heard Slipknot are coming, hopefully they'll do like the same slots as deftones did in 2003 and SOAD did in 2002. Craziness in the middle of the fucking hot day! BEST (y)

[nickhead]

it's looking more and more like the beastie's will be at the 2005 BDO.. the european dates just announced take them through december and the BDO starts jan 21 so the timing is looking about right. the BDO lineup is due out sometime this month. here's hoping (y)

hopefully they'll still do sideshows though (y)

[Aussie_Boy]

Man im there if that rumor is true, and sure why not play at the horden :D

[Johann]

yeah, i've spoken to people who know people (haha) in the industry and they seem like a cert.
i guess i'd pay just to see them at BDO, but i'd think they'd do a sideshow because they'd make lots of $$$.
hopefully they don the sea gear and hit us with a quasar harbour cruise/show again, i missed it last time!

[Mookie]

I would like to vote firmly in favour of a Beastie Boys headline spot at the Big Day Out.Better than Black Eyed Peas any fuckin day

[Aussie_Boy]

Actually.......Horden? god no, play at the entertainment center we could fill that place easy

[ME!]

So which part of Australia is the Big Day Out in??

[minton]

They'll be in NZ and Australia early (towards the end of Jan/start of Feb) 2005, right after Japan *hint hint*. Info regarding the rest of the tour beyond Europe in December will hit the site as soon as we're allowed to, though. So sit tight for a little longer.

[alwynjo]

On a website called
www.ticket-place.com.au
under the rumors section it has AC/DC rumored to be part of the Big Day Out


and then

Beastie Boys to be part of the big day out!!!

The Big Day Out gets announced October 4th and its on Wednesday 26th Jan in Sydney!!!!!

Can't wait!!!

[Dunny]

dunno who asked, but there is no age restriction.

and also, the BDO goes to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne i think?!

and furthermore, if they only play the BDO, I WILL NOT BE HAPPY.

[scotty]

Sideshows please!!

I dont wanna have to put up with teenage triplej clones and crap-arsed bands and the heat and dust. fuck, I'm getting to old for that shit. getting pushed around by 16yo dickheads with no respect.

[minton]

They'll be playing their own shows too, not just festival shows. There. I said it. Now you can all calm down. :)

[Aussie_Boy]

Booyeah! :cool:

[scotty]

Ta, minton. Sorry for the narkiness of my message. I was feeling rather cranky that day.

[nickhead]

So which part of Australia is the Big Day Out in??

Auckland, New Zealand
Gold Coast
Sydney
Melbourne
Adelaide
Perth

hmmm i think its pretty much a certainty now they're on the BDO lineup.. "end of jan/start of feb 2005" (the BDO starts jan 21st and goes thru until feb 6th).. im guessing the BDO organisers want to be the one's to announce it first though..

btw minton thanks for the GREAT news about sideshows. im pumped now :D

[Johann]

brilliant news :)

Aight, they're playing it. It'll be announced officially soon though.

[zorra_chiflada]

any tasmania action?
will we have to get a petition together again?

[minton]

Unfortunately not.

[hitmonlee]

what about perth minton, will they be hitting the west coast of australia?

if not, i'll have to book plane tickets.

[minton]

I can't remember if anyone mentioned Perth. They're doing the BDO tour though, so I assume so. Don't hold me to that one though. :)

[zorra_chiflada]

Unfortunately not.

that's not fair!
it sucks having to go to melbourne to see good shows.
what did we ever do wrong? we deserve something nice for a change!

[minton]

I know it sucks. I'm not sure what the reason is, but I assume it was a good one. Adam sounded disappointed when he was telling me about the lack of Tasmania action.

[zorra_chiflada]

yeah, it's only the cleanest, prettiest place in the world (though quite boring)
americans love it. adam should come on a holiday here, he's assured peace - no-one will harrass him on the streets.

[minton]

It definitely is a nice place, and I'm sure they'd love to hit Tasmania this time around. For whatever reason, it's not possible though apparently.

[zorra_chiflada]

It definitely is a nice place...

surely you don't mean that, and you're just being nice!
whenever mainland folk come down here, they spend the whole time complaining about how boring it is... :(

[minton]

Hey I've been there! I went there in 1995, I think. I actually didn't mind it too much, as a visitor anyway. It's nice to get away to somewhere quiet and boring for a bit. :)

[nickhead]

confirmed (http://www.bigdayout.com)

so the beasties headline EVERY BDO show - so if you're in Auckland, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth you're in for some Beastie action (y)

but we knew this anyway.. thanks to minton (y)

[hitmonlee]

wah!! you beat me :p

so, so happy!

edit: should i follow them round australia?
i could really use a trip to melbourne.

[paulb]

wow! lucky! i wish i could fly down and see this for myself.. im asking my parents if i can go as a gift.. for whatever reason... i know they will say no, but its worth a try..

[plumpyerbutt]

lovely..cant wait. just hope they dont play whilst chemical bros are on, and i hope they arent on when its really hot at like 3 in the arvo... but when all is said and done, im pretty damn excited! :D

[Dunny]

get to see the boys twice... sweet.

the tix are normally about $120 arent they? i hope the crowd appreciates them, im guessing there will be heaps of people who only know a couple of songs.

[alwynjo]

Hey minton, can you give us anymore info about the beasties at the BDO???

I saw the line up (or the line up so far) today....but are they going to be the headlining band at the BDO?

and

Will the members of the forum get any advanced tix news about the sideshows, or be able to buy presale tix for the sideshows???


hope your able to answer these questions!

Much appreciated (in advance!)
alwyn

[paulb]

yep, i got a NO, so... no more ideas about travelling... when i graduate from High School, my parents will prob allow me then.

[deepeesee]

it's about time!

i've heard that the chances of a brisbane sideshow are very slim. is this true?

whatever happens i'll get down to melbourne for a show. not big on festivals after all these years so if i can skip bdo i will. but i'm sure i'll end up going!

hello, by the way :)

I think they're the headlining act, yep.

Not sure about the presales on Australian shows just yet. They haven't announced the details of what they'll do so far, I'm just giving you all a heads up on the plan. I'll keep you all posted with what I can though, ASAP.

What about all the shows on the beastiemania site? It's amazing they are going to spend so much time over there and so little in Europe...(good for you!).

You're right. I didn't know there were so many dates for this festival!

[Rancid_Beasties]

lovely..cant wait. just hope they dont play whilst chemical bros are on, and i hope they arent on when its really hot at like 3 in the arvo... but when all is said and done, im pretty damn excited! :D


They will headline unless somebody much more popular comes, only contenders that could beat the beastie boys out for headlining spot are AC/DC (still unannounced). Other rumoured acts aren't big enough:
AFI (not likely now davey havok has busted his voice)
nofx (not popular enough)
rancid (ditto)
Ash (not good enough :p )
franz ferdinand (too new)
The Pixies (too old school and alternative, and doubtful anyway)

i hope the crowd appreciates them, im guessing there will be heaps of people who only know a couple of songs

I hope the beastie boys dont just play their popular stuff to please the non fan crowd, this is an alternative festival so bring on pauls boutique!!!!

[MaestroDenis]

I would love to se the Beasties play 'Car Thief' live, man that would be some sweet shit.

MD

[smurfun]

If ACDC played it would be pretty funny seeing them back to back with beasties.
The young bros were anti sampling and didn't aprove of the beasties sampling "back in black" on thier song "Rock Hard"

How cool would it be if they made up for it by playing it live with the beasties.

This is somewhat unlikely but it's a nice fantansy to have right now :eek: :o ;)

[Kid Presentable]

So is there any likelihood of a Perth sideshow? Maybe at least Mixmaster playing a club gig like he did in 99..Just don't wanna deal with all the clowns at BDO(ideally, I mean, of course I'll go anyway just to see the Boys, I'm just adept at being a fuck...)

[Rancid_Beasties]

I would like to see AC/DC play the guitar parts for the beastie boys rock songs, so they actually do them instead of just the hip hop songs. Or like Angus Young lending Adrock his gibson sg to play... because i heard they're not taking guitars on tour...but thats just the fact i like rock more than hip hop in most cases.

But seriously, AC/DC will either play last or where the hoodoo gurus played last year, like 3rd or 4th last.

I really hope the b boys play lots of songs from Pauls Boutique and Hello Nasty, and as few as possible from the new album, even though its good its not gold.

[mewz]

Sweet as...so glad its finally been confirmed! I wrote in the back of my rhyme book once that I would definitely see the Beasties before I die....so as long as I don't die before Australia Day, all will be well!! :D

The BDO is shaping up to be good. Will be awesome to see the Chemical Bros again.. they rocked it in Sydney a few years ago. Also keen for John Butler Trio and the Freestylers.

Glad we've got Minton onside to give us a heads up (nice work, mate) (y)

And I reckon we should make a pact to let each other know about any quasar type action :cool:

peace

[mikelip]

Freakin' Ay!

So no presale info in email/etc. But I'm not surprised since its a festival. Check out http://www.bigdayout.com for details.

I dunno where that guy says they aint bringing instruments got his info :-/ My friend saw the BBoys in Seattle and said it was the best damn show she ever seen (in 15 years of shows). Instruments on two sets i think. I wanna see em play :*(

Lastly, I know we'd all like info on the side gigs. Man I'd be bummed if they plan 45 mins at BDO only. Please please please let us catch the BBoys and Mixmaster Mike in solitary confinement.

P.S. Also, anyone notice Cypress Hill is also touring? Too Cool :)

I'll ask them again for it perhaps on home turf. I asked in San Francisco and Mike wasn't able to hook me up. But maybe, just maybe...on my home soil. :D

Awesome, can you also ask if they will please play either hey ladies, shadrach or sounds of science? I never understood why they named the anthology sounds of science but didn't put that track on, after the 1:30 point, it starts kicking arse and i reckon it would go off at bdo. Except nobody would know it....except us few loyal fans :D

[Dunny]

dont worry, ill cheer loud enough to make up for everyone else.

ive been thinking about it, and after 6 of the greatest albums, they could never even go close to satifying their fans at one concert, i wish id old enoguh in the early 90's so that i could have heard most of LTI and PB live.

I still reckon they could satisfy their fans, but they'd have to put their promotion of the new album behind the good songs. Like theres probably 3 songs on the TT5B that i'd wanna hear live (lets face it, its good but its not an absolute classic), while theres 5 on PB, 3 on License to ill, and 5 from hello nasty, and two or three from Ill communication and check your head. Thats a fairly long setlist though, 22 songs so they couldn't do it at bdo but maybe at a separate concert. But since when do bands play what their diehard fans want to hear. I went to an offspring concert and they played 18 songs from 2 of their albums and only 4 from the other 4 or 5 albums, Including their best album.

In any case I've been looking forward to the b boys, more than any other band, since i've been old enough to go to concerts, which was just after their last tour. :D

[Egg Man]

How long is a Big Day Out set ie, how many songs could they play. This BDO will be my first.

[Dunny]

generally the headliners set lasts around 90 mins.

and as for the songs from each album, think of how many songs are on the anthology, nearly 40? and then there are heaps of awesome songs that their fans love that werent on sounds of science, so realistically they have nearly 50 odd songs that people would love to see live from the last 20 years. so unless youre like 40 years old, you can never fully appreciate them live. anyway thats a bit D & M. my 2c.

[deepeesee]

AC/DC will not be playing the Big Day Out.

[nickhead]

AC/DC will not be playing the Big Day Out.

whilst i agree this is probably true (i dont even know where this rumour came from)... how do you know for sure?

[Egg Man]

A perfect Beastie Boys set for me would be Half of LTI, Half of PB, 5 songs off TH5B, 5 off Hello Nasty and 2 or 3 off CYH and IC. But that would be a mammoth set.

Still I know they'll never play most of their PB stuff again (with the exception of SYR) but one is free to dream.

Put me down for that pact. If the Beasties strike a note to any of their hardcore songs, I have to be there!
I'm thinking they'll be pretty busy with the big day out and the sideshows, they prob won't have time to do any quasar stuff.
But hey, if they do....
