The Big Day Out is, for many youths and music fans, an unrivalled day of Australianising – a chance to yell things only Aussies understand loudly and in any direction. The event appeals, primarily, to bronzed, boozed, southern-cross-tattooed teenagers.
And now, Twitter has given this much-maligned but witty bunch the perfect platform for their straight talking.
I promise to update this as #BigDayOut heads around the country…
(Well, I might.)
Lets all watch the acts via our iPhones #bdo2012
