Eminem to headline Big Day Out 2010?
Ok, so I was thinking about writing some long winded bullshit here about how festivals still don’t support Oz Hip Hop or international Hip Hop in general, but then i thought ‘it’s fucking 44c’ in this room and I want to keep this short. But i will rant for a second to say, I hate this fucking heat, it’s not good heat. Like ‘this cunt brings so much heat to the stage, i am on fire’ it is more like ‘kill me, kill me now!!!’ ( not very insightful but fuck’it, it’s hot)
In any case rumour from a very good source is that talks are already underway for Big Day Out 2010 with Eminem to headline. there is an extremely good chance of this happening. This will benefit Oz hip Hop heads and Artists alike. Let’s just hope that the ‘brains’ behind it all at least have the sense to give some love to local Oz Hip Hop acts instead of some rock ban that we hate like the last time he toured here.
On the plus side their apparently was some Hip Hop with Resin Dogs and Nf’a taking stage at BDO 2009. I didn’t actually see them as i have never been to a BDO as i can’t afford the ridiculous price tag they set. Sideshows FTW.

id rather jayz. eminem coming would be like a white scribe performing again.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Get real.noone wants to see rap and that crap at BDO
April 28th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
I agree with Jesse.
PETER Noone however, would be pretty awesome.
May 2nd, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Paul McCartney for BDO, that would be good
May 4th, 2009 at 10:24 am
I would love to see eminem at Big day out. He’s really talented.
May 4th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
hahahaha
i’d go see eminem. omg
May 5th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Muse for BDO 2010 headline
May 5th, 2009 at 11:04 am
PLEASE PLEASE NO EMINEM he is absolute shite, He’ll get booed of the stage definately not a good choice, Jay-Z would be a lot better choice but still no. I’m gona run with Mick on this go Paul McCartney.
May 5th, 2009 at 11:46 am
no rapper is talented . . . you learn rhyming words in 2nd grade. Big day out is stupidly expensive, people that like eminem would have to do a few brake and enters to afford tickets
May 6th, 2009 at 10:44 am
hot tip n you heard it early. green day will headline, im not saying i like the band, in fact i despise em but they will
May 7th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
“Jay-Z would be a lot better choice but still no”
Jay Z isn’t talented so no he wouldnt be a better choice. The only people who would boo Em offstage are you soulja boy fuckheads.
“no rapper is talented . . . you learn rhyming words in 2nd grade”
No rapper like Jay Z is talented, but if you actually done any sort of research you would know it takes breath control, flow, timing and fuckloads more to rap properly, anyone can get on the radio but it takes real talent to impress real hip hop fans.
Don’t talk about shit you know fucking nothing about
May 7th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Jack, yes we learn rhyming words in 2nd grade but we dont learn multi-syllable rhyme patterns like eminem uses.
let me guess jacky boy you are the metro with your big ray bans and tight jeans bopping at the front to British India or some other cliche boring indie band.
People like YOU jack will have to go and comb your fringe some more and wear silly vests so you can to to big day out.
pull your head in idiot.
(for the record i dont even like eminem that much)
May 8th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Rammstein are going back on the road at the end of the year and it seems very possible that they could be starting their next leg of 2010 with the Big Day Out as Richard wants to do another BDO.
Rammstein only do festivals as headliners now. they will headline the BDO with a vengeance
Personally i would love to see them come independantly but any Rammstein is good Rammstein
May 15th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
what about guns ‘n’ roses, ac/dc, jet, scar symmetry or even motorhead. that would be a hell of a line up, nothing against eminem i am not a urban music fan.
May 17th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Dude, Paul McCartney?
After how epically the neill young headline failed this year, I doubt that the bdo organisers will risk another old rocker for fear of a backlash.
Not that I don’t like the Beatles and Paul McCartney, it just wouldn’t work.
I would like to see eminem headline, but i doubt it’ll happen. btw, if you think eminem would do badly, Jay Z would do terribly at bdo. He’s got virtuallly no profile in this country.
I’d say that there’ll be a huge bidding war between soundwave and bdo 2 get faith no more to headline.
In my opinion, both Faith no more and eminem would awesome.
May 18th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Mick, totally wrong Green Day are doing a headline tour late this year, I also hate them but I no that for sure so a 3-4 month gap between tours seems unlikely
May 20th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Fuck yeh get eminem over, be a first tour in australia for him. Easily the most talened rapper out there, probably the only rap I could listen to! if eminem goes, Im deffenately buying a ticket as soon as i can. if not meeh fuck BDO
May 21st, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Actually Ronnie, Michael Gudinski toured him with D12 a few years back. Michael Gudinski pushing his own agenda (nothing wrong with that imo) had one of his local rock bands (name escapes me) open for him. It was quite hilarious as I remember all the Rap fans throwing bottle and flipping the bird at them. It was an awesome 2 1/2 hour show with Eminem playing most tracks from slim Shady, Marshall Mathers LP and the D12 album. farkkkk I was stoned
May 21st, 2009 at 11:09 pm
fuck i would be there and btw its hard to rap. have u tryed free style. i went 2009 and dropkicks where asome the have to be at 2010 and forever
May 22nd, 2009 at 7:14 am
Mark bro,
Neil Young rocked out!
He’s nothing like Paul McCartney anyway, at least Neil still makes good music.
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:51 pm
“Easily the most talened rapper out there, probably the only rap I could listen to!”
Unless you are a rap fan don’t make comments on who is the best. He is definately NOT the best out there, he is talented yes but not the best.
May 23rd, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Joe, Neil Young mught have put on a good show, but his audience compared to RATM in 2008 was tiny. When I went to the gold coast bdo this year only about ten thousand people saw Neil Young compared to about 40 000 at Prodigy. I didn’t really see neill, i saw Fantomas with about 200 other ppl (Mike Patton desrves more respect than that) and then Dropkick Murphy’s with about 5000 ppl there while neill young was playing.
So yes, Neill young might have put on an excellent show, but he wasn’t a good headliner in terms of audience share.
btw, seeing how well relapse seems to be doin over here, I revise my statement. Eminem would defo be a good headliner (seeing his last “tour” was only in Sydney). I’ll defo go if he goes.
BDO Headliner should be Eminem.
Soundwave (as the other major, if unreacognised, Australian festival) should have Faith No More and KoRn as headliners.
May 23rd, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Green Day second headliner, then McCartney (resembling this years, new followed by old selection) with Eminem Boiler Room?
also.. what about Blink 182? i think their now a possibility with their comeback..
May 25th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Eminiem would be awesome. He is totally talented.
Or Faith no More!!
May 27th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Paul McCartney would be so shit.
Get some taste in music yo
May 27th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
FAITH FAITH FAITH FAITH…..
Faith no more, backed with blink, muse and greenday… freaking sick!
eh, eminem, there would be a crowd crush ala vanilla ice vfest just to see him…. he’s worth it (clever clever boy) but to headline BDO, hell no!
May 27th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Fuck yeh get eminem in there, it would probably the best BDO in forever.
May 29th, 2009 at 1:33 am
First of all 2 u fucks that sayin em isnt talented
He has 1x,2x,3,4x,5x platinum albums and even Diamond
And second rock is like screamo NO FUCKING REASON FOR IT (except ACDC, they r dope)
Em for ruler of the world..lol
May 31st, 2009 at 1:33 pm
I think they should get Blur to come over, they’ve just reformed and are performing at Hyde park in July..
maybe not to headline BDO but they would really make it an experience if they performed
June 1st, 2009 at 1:08 pm
fuck yeh eminems the best, I want him to go, even tho i’m gay, I don’t really get offended by most of eminems homophobic lyrics, I know hes just joking around. I’d suck his dick for sure.
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Becca, “get a taste in music”?
Are you kidding me?
The Beatles are not a good taste in music? Without them you would not have the lame, maintstream pop, Lady Gaga-esque crap you indulge yourself in. They are the basis of all music. You wierd person.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
YEA EVAHN MY STEP DAD ACTUALLY DID RAPE ME AS A CHILD ASWELL. THATS HOW I CAN RELATE TO EMINEMS SONGS. SO WHEN I HAVE A SHITTY DAY I JUST DRIFT AWAY AND PUT EM ON.
I TURNED OUT GAY TOO… WANNA MEET UP SOMETIME? xoxo
June 8th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
TOO BAD LOSERS, u cant choose hu comes to bigdayout!!eminems the shiiiit and has come along way for a white rapper.woooooo i hope he comes and bums all u freaks out.
June 9th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
blink 182 too headline
would be the best headline they could bring in
June 12th, 2009 at 3:47 am
Personally I would prefer Eminem not to headline BDO but I can see the OP’s point about how it would boost Australian hip hop.
As for Michael who compared all rock to screamo, you are fucking retarded. seriously… no amount of ignorance could cover you for that statement. Going by your reasoning, a band such as Queen, has flailing guitars and incomprehensible singing. Learn to make correct analogies before you try to sound anywhere near smart.
June 12th, 2009 at 10:45 am
it’d be the shizznizzle if manson came back pulled his pants down and fucked his drummer
June 14th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
you’re all fucking retarded, since when has a mainstream… HIP HOP/RAP
“artist” ever lined BDO? Why would they (Beastie boys don’t count)
June 15th, 2009 at 10:30 am
bring on eminem!!!
plus i think blink 182 r also going hopefully
it would be awesome to see them both!
i dont care wat anyone else thinks
June 17th, 2009 at 7:35 am
Fuck yeah eminem!!!! sweet as i’m so there!! LOVE HIM!!
June 26th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
so apparently some people here think eminem sucks shit..
hmmm. not so, in my opinion.
i usually aint one for rap but i guess i like him and i think he HAS got talent. (when i listen to shit like blink-182 and cog…)
to you selfrighteous fucks who think that eminem doesnt have talent, get some depth. i’m all for personal taste but i think everyone here’s gone too far with the flailing-around-of-abuse.
and to you other selfrighteous fucks who insist that he is the BEST, look at the bigger picture. there are so many people who were successful in their genre, and so many different genres that you can’t compare against each other, it takes different skills for each one and you cant judge someone against a rapper when he/she plays rock.
it just doesnt work.
and to everyone else, keep it up!! i would rather blink but eminem would go off too and i would least prefer jay-z. but it cant be helped, seeing as none of us have a personal hold over the decision
yeah.
i’m all for opinions
June 27th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Please Please don’t bring this trailer trash here for BDO look what happened to Glastonbury last year when they had rap crap headlining nobody turned up first time ever the festival did’nt sell out. Again a big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
June 28th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
fuck m&m and is rat shit boppy rap crap! none of that shit should ever be in a thought of performing at bdo!!! bring over FAITH NO MORE!!! NO J-Z either leave that stuff in the states…..
June 28th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
I would hate to see eminem at bdo. Bdo is known for great punk rock an dance music. instead of eminem rap an bullshit we got some great aussi bands like greenspoon motorace bodyjar sunk loto bring on the punk. If blink or greenday come i would like to see them play alot of the old school stuff alot more better
June 29th, 2009 at 10:56 am
F*CK eminem!!!! I thought big day out headline acts were supposed to be rock or metal groups – where the f*ck did eminem come into the picture!!! FAITH NO MORE FOR BIG DAY OUT 2010!!!!!!
June 29th, 2009 at 10:57 am
AND F*CK BLINK AND GREENDAY TOO!!! I mean what about greendays song know your enemy, how much of a mockery is that to rage against the machine! Green day is the enemy!
June 29th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
What about trying to bring back Metallica or SOAD or mabye even Rammstein. I’m sure if one of those bands headlines a crap load of people would go.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:20 pm
I think not- good news the PLACEBO will be coming out for BDO
i highly doubt EMimen will be there
Greenday are playing in decoemeber so will not be at BDO and BLINK 182 are on high rumours!!
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:43 am
Jesus christ its plain to see that metallica will headline again. massive shows in europe and the states are underway and what other band could headline. some idiot said the muse fucking hell…. FNM will hopefully come but the rest are just filling the gaps. Long live metal its about time BDO brought some one worth paying money to see. neil young and all that shit that was on the stage last year should of payed you to go see them. 2010 better be somthing good not all this new age fucking radio crap. bring back metal.
July 4th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Man, people have a fucking shit taste in metal here. Mettalica, SOAD, Rammestien, can people possibly have a taste in metal that is anymore shit, bland, and generic? the only decent metalish/metal influenced band the BDO fans seem to like are Faith No More (according to one of my friends who knows the soundwave organisers faith no more seem to be booked for soundwave, a much better metal festival than BDO).
BDO never does good metal bands. They do gay shit like BFMV and Trivium. Meanwhile, Soundwave has hosted some awesome metal like DEP, In Flames, Lamb of God, and Divine Heresy. Metalicca, Rammstien, and SOAD are all shit examples of metal. Eminem is atleast an excellent example of the rap/hip hop genre. He would be a much better headliner than all the bland, montonous shit you “metalheads” want to headline the festival.
If ur gonna bring on that “name some better metal bands” shit, don’t even fucking try you posers. I can name countless metal bands better than the pop metal you guys are promoting. Don’t bother.
And fuck, Galstonbury, thats a shit indie rock/acoustic festival. Of course rap didn’t do well thre. Eminem was a very sucsessful headliner at the leeds and reading festival, a general music festival in the same country (the UK). BDO is a general music festival, so I expect Eminem would do well there too. He’s at least better than the pop metal loved by you fake metal heads.
July 4th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Isnt Big Day Out Like One Of The Biggest Rock Festival Since The 90’s
Why Would You Ruin A Rock Tradition Just So Rap/Hip Hop Can Get More Exposure
I Think Eminem At Big Day Out Is A Bad Idea,Thered Be So Much Hip Hop Fans There.
And Tickets For Rock/Metal Fans Would Be Sold Out.All Because Of A Rapper.
Thered Be Way Too Many Lads As Well
July 7th, 2009 at 10:45 am
FAITH NO MORE!!!!!!
July 7th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Fuck Eminem he can suck my balls he used to do some good shit but now his songs soung like someone got his old songs and threw them agaisnt a wall then jacked off on them and the put them on a CD.
I would prefur to see the Mars Volta Headline at the big day out but as far as Hip Hop Goes I’d want the Hiltop Hoods there
July 8th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Yeah bring on some metal or good hard rock, placebo – yes please, no more old rockers like 2009, what a load of crap neil who???
July 10th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
There is alot of bagging going on here hey…Thats the problem with the BDO…Too many genres wanting the top spot.
Even though I am not into it, I saw Jay Z at Roskilde last year and he actually ripped…But BDO always puts a lesser known rap in a sode tent like Lupe Fiasco or Xibit. Thats where it’ll stay. Hilltops o the main stage for good aussie ripping though!!
Radiohead killed it as well at Roskilde and i recon alot of people would be happy for them to come back.
Mars Volta always do a great show at the BDO but dont put them on the main stage, i’de rather appreciate them with a smaller crowd in a side tent.
bands looking to be here in summer:
Placebo
Muse
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Foo Fighters
Chemical Brothers
Faith No More
Queens of the Stone Age
July 12th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
eminem would kill it at bdo
they should bring in Hilltop as well i agree
but yes it is a rock festival, but why cant they have a great headlining hip-hop artist then have a great rock/metal artist too get the best of both worlds.
July 13th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Waste of time fools ! we have had The Beasty Boys , RATM ,Common , Lupe Fiasco , MIA , over the past 5 years (just to name a few) and not to mention a fist full of Hilltop Hoods ! give Eminem a BOILER ROOM , but the BDO should have a hip hop stage anyhow ! support international and AUSSIE HIP HOP for F*#% sake ! has anybody seen the gladstonberry or reading festival line up ? i gess not judging by the fantasy headline act that people are suggesting ! ( Blur , Bruce Springsteen ,Radiohead , Kings of Leon , Faith No More AND NEIL YOUNG !!! yes Neil Young FOOLS ) and crowds around the country have gotta pull their fingers out of their ears and A#*@ HOLES , Neil Young is a legend and i was proud to see him on australia day , shame the people out their are so stupid when it comes to music they cant give someone who is still rockin the free world a chance , we were lucky to have him and at his age still bringing a show with grate quality , thats why GENERATION (Y) IS A BUNCH OF SELLOUTS . I hope Blink 182 play but not headline , they can open for FAITH NO MORE ( THAT WOULD BE PERFECT )! FNM , or Radiohead should headline and Viv Leighs should give the mainstages a solid lineup at least aswell( 2009 was weak all day untill the Artic Monkeys and Neil Young ) , Hey Viv ! Make a effort this year hey ! Soundwave is begging to teach you how to run a show and Ive been and they CAN , BANK ON IT BUDDY ! dont let us down ! Before Gen Y DEMAND a Britney Spears OR something EMO to Headline ! BIG DAY OUT RULES dont F*@# it up ! FOOOOOOLS !
July 13th, 2009 at 10:32 am
SHUTUP ALL OF YOU!
bring eminem (his old songs only) and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE BACK! missed them in 2008
July 19th, 2009 at 12:59 am
The Dead Weather – that would be awesome.
and i think its likely too?
July 19th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
you guys are gay eminem is is awsum and way better than that shit you call music so bring him to NZ
September 16th, 2009 at 9:26 am
September 16th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
dizzy rascal does rap and he was a awsome gig, eminem is top of the rap game so i think he will be awsome! bring it on
September 28th, 2009 at 11:26 am
IF EMINEM GOES TO BIG DAY OUT THAT SHIT WILL SELL OUT IN LIKE A MILLI SECOND
September 30th, 2009 at 2:34 am
Alrite firstly dont be talking that shit no rapper is talented if it isnt your of music fair enough but dont slander perfectly talented artists eminem would be awesome for headline ando so would jay z but id have to go with em.
listen to renegade if you dont think either of them has talent then try come up with something better or make a billion dollars like jay z how many others in music have done that?
go rap fuck the haters!
October 7th, 2009 at 1:30 am
im sick of this rap vs. rock shit.
i come from a pretty crappy upbringing so i love some hip hop with clean lyrics that i can relate to. and dont forget eminem makes us all bounce.
and i love some rock tunes to go crazy and mosh to.
chillin roots to smoke to.
and some funky fresh electro and dubstep techno to dance to.
be versatile people. learn to get along.
every act at bdo has its critics. but for eminem i think more love him than hate him. he would kill it.
October 8th, 2009 at 2:09 am
WTF Neil diamond, paul McCartney bdo is for teenagers not old people who listen to that crap
Can’t belive it someone finally said this. I have been waiting and waiting fo this comment. You should have used a correct email and I would have sent you a prize pack, oh well, next time. Admin.

June 20th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Im agreeing with Kiel, Dont talk about shit you dont know anything about, but is he saying eminem is not the best? if so, that is just a matter of opinion in some cases, but he IS titled “best in the Buisness”
July 6th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Like Eminem ? Check this site out http://hiphopblogz.com
July 13th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Uhhhh whats with the dumbasses sayen no to marshall here?
dont they understand he’s possibly the most hard working dissed on rapper thats still managed to creat basicly an army or suppiorters.
he would absolutely KILL it if he was at BDO
i dont give a fuck what cha think bring him in
i dont care if hes near the end so you pusssy eard fucks can go mellow with paul and leave.
i just need to seee this man live
he is my idol and to have him at this concert would meen the world to me.
