I lament the loss of the BDO at least once a week. We (NZ) miss out on so many artists coming here without it. I remember wandering into the Boiler Room as in impressionable 16 year old and discovering this band playing drum n bass with live instruments - turns out they were called Shapeshifter...
Khruangbin popping up on the EA lineup is a really pleasant surprise - seeing them play as the sunset goes down over Hagley Park is going to be something very special.

Have you seen the lineup for Good Things festival in Oz?

I feel like that line-up would work so well here and it's totally in the Big Day Out spirit...
Oh man. That line up is right in the wheelhouse of us BDO veterans. I reckon there's enough of us in NZ for it to be viable here!
I just messaged the promoters who bought Limp Bizkit here from the same festival. Hold fire for a response!
Hey Chris. Did they get back to you?
Nah! Probably too late now to make it happen too.
I am very interested to see what they say.
The BDO was such a right of passage.

Yeah that will be a moment. A surprising number of Aussie acts on that bill. Maybe they have nowhere to play with all their festivals collapsing?
Great read, we all miss the BDO. I think the Real Estate on the bill is Real Estate (Eva Cambourn, DJ) from Ōtautahi
Oh! I didn't know this - I did wonder why they were so far down on the poster but that makes sense now...
