Big Day Out Adds Robot Band To Line-Up

It's a festival line-up addition – but not as you know it. Big Day Out have today added the “all metal” band Compressorhead to the national bill, the robotic trio from Germany joining the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Featuring drummer Stickboy, guitarist Fingers and the newest edition, bassist Bones, drummer Stickboy did make an appearance at the 2008 event – but this is the first time the full band will be playing the event.

The easiest way to understand Compressorhead is to watch them – so here they are:

Big Day Out will visit the following dates:

Friday 18 January – Sydney Showgrounds
Sunday 20 January – Gold Coast Parklands
Friday 25 January – Adelaide Showgrounds
Saturday 26 January – Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne
Monday 28 January – Claremont Showground, Perth
