Big Day Out @ Sydney Showgrounds

What I remember (in 2024)...

Went with Marieka.

Started in the Horden with Trout Fishing In Quebec and Crow.

Main Stage 2 with Def FX.  The set Fiona Horne did topless.

Main Stage with Tumbleweed.  Got in the thick of it for Tumbleweed and couldn't function afterwards.  Spent 2 hours away from the music. What a waste!

Smashing Pumpkins on the Main Stage.

Left early to see some Mark of Cain on the Skate Stage.

Got a spot by the sound desk at The Main Stage for the Ramones.  3 songs in an American accent asks how long they've been on.  Without looking, I answer 5 minutes, then look up.  It's Kim Thyall from Soundgarden.

Caught some Screamfeeder on the Skate Stage on my way to the Celibate Rifles inside the Hordern.

Bjork had cancelled so there was a little bit of time before Soundgarden came on the Main Stage.

Can't remember why we didn't stay for Primus.
