The 2007 Big Day Out has added even more all-star artists to join Australia's biggest touring music festival on the road.
New additions to the line-up include precocious poppet Lily Allen, The Streets, DJ Justice (of Justice vs. Simian 'We Are Your Friends' fame), hip hopper Lupe Fiasco, Diplo, John Butler Trio, UK rockers Kasabian, Little Birdy and The Crystal Method among many others.
Unfortunately for other Aussies though, Lily Allen, Lupe Fiasco and Diplo will only play New Zealand and East Coast BDO dates.
It will be interesting to see whether sparks fly between The Streets frontman Mike Skinner and Lily Allen, who were rumoured to have been romantically linked in the past.
The Big Day Out kicks off on Friday January 9 in Auckland.
The full line-up so far:
The Streets, Kasabian, Crystal Method DJs, Justice, Trivium, John Cooper Clarke, Afra & The Incredible Beatbox Band, Lily Allen, Lupe Fiasco, Diplo, John Butler Trio, Something for Kate, You Am I, Little Birdy, The Presets, Bob Evans, The Drone, The Butterfly Effect, love [tattoo] and Shapeshifter join Tool, Muse, Violent Femmes, The Killers, Peaches, My Chemical Romance, Spank Rock, Jet, Eskimo Joe, Scribe, Evermore, The Sleepy Jackson, The Herd and The Spazzys.
