I had to read it twice, did it really say? yes it did!

Yes people its true, Mr Kanye West is heading to Perth and Big Day Out. And with him he brings Tony Hawk, Kasabian, and Soundgarden. I’ve always had a crush on Chris Cornel so I know where I will be….So plan the 5th of February in your calendar as well as remember that tickets go on sale on the 14th of October.

After two months of negotiation they’ve finally found a home for Big Day Out for 2012 and beyond!

The Victoria Park Foreshore (McCallum Park), Victoria Park,  Perth

This is what everyone has had to say on the topic!

 “The Town is very excited to host the Big Day Out, it’s a great event and McCallum Park on the Victoria Park foreshore is a beautiful location for it.  There are still transport arrangements that need to be confirmed with the organisers and the Public Transport Authority and noise and parking regulations that need to be met.  We hope that these final details will be resolved quickly so that the venue can be confirmed early in the new year.” - Town of Victoria Park Chief Executive Officer Arthur Kyron

“In conjunction with the town of Victoria Park we are working through the final details so the Big Day Out will continue to deliver the highest quality and safest festival in Australia. This process will also ensure that every appropriate measure is taken to minimize the impact of the event on the local community and environment. We are very excited about the changes and are looking forward to the best Big Day Out ever” -  Ken Knight – Big Day Out Local Representative, Perth
