Auckland Readies for Its Own Big Day Out

Australia's mammoth music menagerie the Big Day Out is winging its way to New Zealand as part of its annual tour, hitting Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium in January.

Tickets for both Sydney and Melbourne have already sold out in what is one of the biggest music festivals in the world.

Headlining the Auckland phase - which takes place on Friday January 18th 2008 - are newly-reformed rock screamers Rage Against the Machine, with their first performance outside the US since they recently reformed.

Alongside this, Icelandic oddball Bjork will make an appearance, Arcade Fire play their first gig Down Under, while Dizzee Rascal is also on the bill.

Tickets for the show are available from the Big Day Out website and people hoping to make the event should book their tickets and hotels in New Zealand as soon as possible.

The festival began in 1992 as a Syndey-only show, with Nirvana taking to the stage. It has since transformed into a huge rolling festival, taking up much of the Gold Coast and now New Zealand, showcasing talent from around the world as well as the best from Down Under.
