Big Day Out 2013 Lineup Revealed

The 2013 BIG DAY OUT lineup has just dropped and contains a few very exciting gems amongst the usual larger headliners

I have to say I'm very excited to check out Sleigh Bells, Delta Spirit, Childish Gambino, local heroes Hunting Grounds and Jeff The Brotherhood (wasn't too long ago I saw these guys play a packed out 200 capacity Old Bar show in Fitzroy).
