We were starting to think we’d heard the last from Big Day Out, who over the past few weeks have announced the Chow Town lineup in Sydney and Melbourne, and announced a Mexican wrestling bar. But it turns out the iconic festival had a few more tricks up its sleeve.

In addition to the stellar list of artists already announced such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Killers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more, Big Day Out have revealed the lineup for the 2013 Red Stage which will host some of Australia’s freshest new talent.

They’ve also announced the return of the Big Day Out ambience team: the one and only Duckpond, Heavy G, Larry Kronic Jr and Cristo aka The Lilypad who are back in 2013 and badder than ever! The 2013 Lilypad will include Freak Factor, Lilypad House Party, Breakfast of Morons, Bogan Karaoke, the Xtreme Food Olympics and more!

In addition, the wait is over and The Big Day Out 2013 schedule of set times has landed. You can now check out who is playing which stage and when so you can start navigating your movements between the six music stages and the El Jimador Mexican Wrestling Bar, Chow Town and The Lilypad.
