The Big Day Out (BDO) is an annual music festival that tours Australia and New Zealand. As of 2006, it features 7 or 8 stages (depending on the venue) accommodating popular contemporary rock music, electronic music, mainstream international acts and local acts.

Like many other modern music festivals, the Big Day Out is held in stadiums which are more commonly designed for major sporting events. All of the Big Day Out locations utilize multiple performance stages, on which different acts will often be playing simultaneously. It is common that the well known international acts will play on one of the two "main stages", which overlook the main sporting ground of the venue, and the lesser known (and often local) acts will perform on smaller stages. All of the stages are within a short walking distance of one another.

A signature feature of the Big Day Out is the "Boiler Room", a large circus-style tent in which the more electronically themed artists perform. This style of venue intends to enhance the sound and ambience of the performance, which can be compared to a Rave.

Other areas at the Big Day Out include a novelty entertainment stage, a signing tent, multiple food and merchandise shopping areas, and one or more designated alcohol consumption areas to which access is restricted to those of the local drinking age. Alcohol at the Big Day Out is limited to those brands who are sponsoring the event (Jack Daniels branding can be seen in the adjacent photo), and can only be purchased from within the venue.

Where: Showground Rd,  Sydney,   NSW 

When: 23rd January

Time: The event lasts from mid-morning (doors open at 9 - 10am) to late evening (the last performances finish at around 1am).
