The Big Day Out 2014 lineup is set to drop on 31st July and according to industry rumours, scuttlebutts, and festival promoters, it’s living up to the ‘big’ part of its festival name. How big? Large enough to boost the ticket price to $185 to accommodate an expansion to three headliners, with Big Day Out CEO Adam Zammit confirming that two of them “have never played an Australian festival” before, while fellow festival promoter Ken West teased: “I was hoping for one ‘White Whale’, managed to get two and ended up with three.” Putting our ears to the ground and our eyes to where they’ll count most, we’ve taken the torrent of speculation and hype, the names already spinning about in the rumour mill, then crossed checked them with tour schedules and working history to bring you a collection of Big Day Out 2014 lineup predictions.
