The Melbourne Grand Prix - where Birds Of Tokyo and Sneaky Sound System will perform - and the Australian Open aren't the only huge events on the sporting calendar hosting great Aussie music line-ups: the Big Bash League has joined in on the fun.

The 12th edition of the Big Bash includes Peking Duk, The Temper Trap, Ball Park Music, Sneaky Sound System and Northeast Party House, as well as some of Australia’s fastest-rising musicians in Sycco, Memphis LK, KLP, Kinder and Stace Cadet.

"The KFC Big Bash is Australia’s best sports entertainment experience, and we are excited to offer fans even more with so many amazing artists performing," Alistair Dobson, Cricket Australia’s General Manager of the Big Bash Leagues, commented. "In addition to big hits, classic catches and epic battles, fans will be treated to even more this summer with live performances, fireworks, light shows and dancing, ensuring there is something for everyone."

Dobson added, "The KFC Big Bash League is the backdrop to summer. It’s an action-packed competition that offers non-stop excitement and entertainment, and it's great to see it come alive in stadiums around the country." Find tickets to the Big Bash League here.
