  • A ^ With no event in 2015, Cosmic Psychos are the only band to play both the first Big Day Out and the last.

2015

There was no Big Day Out in 2015.[6] It was announced on 26 June 2014 that the 2015 Big Day Out had been cancelled. The announcement came after long-running speculation over the future of the summer festival and revelations the day before from Sydney Showground executives that festival organisers had cancelled their 2015 venue booking.[7][8]
