AT LAST! The Jacket heading Down Under!!!!!

The majority of my (small) contributions on the forums have been my immature moaning & whinging about MMJ not coming to Australia.

I will now, kindly, shut the hell up and wait patiently for February!

Neil Young the top billing for Big Day Out

3rd September 2008, 7:00 WST

Legendary singer-songwriter Neil Young will headline the national Big Day Out music festival next year.
 
A spokeswoman for promoters Lees and West confirmed yesterday the 62-year-old Canadian-born musician will play at the annual rock'n'roll roadshow, which usually hits Perth early in February.
 
Young would also play sideshows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne next January, but a separate Perth concert was unlikely, she said.
 
After starting out with Californian band Buffalo Springfield and teaming up with Crosby, Stills and Nash, Young made his name as a solo star with songs such as Rockin' in the Free World, Old Man and Heart of Gold. His ragged guitar solos fronting hard-rock band Crazy Horse led him to be dubbed the Godfather of Grunge.
 
American alternative band My Morning Jacket will support Young's sideshows and appear at the Big Days Out. British sensations The Ting Tings and Arctic Monkeys are also rumoured to be on the festival's bill, which will be announced on September 30.

This would be a dream concert.  Neil is one of my lifelong favorites.  Damn, never been to Australia.  Its time I tried some Vegamite sandwiches.
