Big Day Out

Featuring: Neil Young, Arctic Monkeys, TV On The Radio, Prodigy, Lupe Fiasco, Bang! Bang! Eche!, Pendulum, Mint Chicks, Brand New Math, Ting Tings and Black Kids

The biggest surprise of the day was Pendulum. While I didn’t get up close, I witnessed their extremely tight set from the stand. From my observations Pendulum drew the biggest crowd of the day (Arctic Monkeys and Prodigy may have claim to dispute this), with metal and break-core fans joining in unison to wave their hands in the air and mosh for a solid hour. The live component to their on-stage trickery was completely perplexing, sounding just like a solid studio take. It was clear the band work extremely hard to perfect the ultimate live experience and I doubt a single Pendulum fan left Big Day Out disappointed. TV On The Radio fans, however, may be a bit bitter, with Pendulum going slightly overtime and encroaching on TVOTR’s set.
