Big Day Out 2002

Reported by sicarii

The line-up for Australia and New Zealand's Big Day Out 2002 festival has been confirmed. Next year UK acts Garbage, New Order and The Prodigy were confirmed in the initial announcement. They will be joined by Crystal Method, NOFX and DJ Dave Clarke plus Australian acts Regurgitator, Gerling, Magic Dirt, Grinspoon, Superheist and Shihad. So far the only date confirmed on the official Big Day Out website is Sunday 20 January at Gold Coast Parklands, South Port but tickets for the event go on sale 19 October. Organizers of the event have introduced new safety measures for the crowd following this year's tragedy that caused one death following a crush during Limp Bizkit's set.
