Mudhoney, the Seattle legends of dirty rock’n’roll, certainly seem to love Australia. Even after decades of making the long haul flight southwards they can’t seem to get enough of our country, having become habitual visitors in recent years. They were here in 2011 (playing sideshows around their high billing slot at Meredith Festival’s 21st birthday bash), they returned in 2012 (slotting in shows around their inaugural appearance at Splendour In The Grass and a sold out Melbourne show) and now they’re coming back once more as one of the experienced faces of the stellar 2014 Big Day Out line-up in what will be their eighth trip to Australian shores.
The Big Day Out 2014 sideshows have been announced! Arcade Fire, Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Lion, Major Lazer, Primus, The Lumineers, Grouplove, CSS, Mac Miller, Toro y Moi, Portugal. The Man, and The 1975 are taking over venues down the East Coast to give their fans an extra chance to see them perform while they’re in the country for Big Day Out.

Today Bluesfest Byron Bay, Australia’s multi award winning 5 Day Festival, held over the Easter long weekend (17th – 21st of April) at its home, the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm, north of Byron Bay, opens the fourth chapter to its 25th Anniversary special edition and the message coming from the Bluesfest HQ is that there will be at least one more artist release before Christmas – after all the Festival still has many of its artists left to announce.
