In a sad day for Australia’s festival scene, American company C3 has confirmed the Big Day Out will not go ahead in 2015. C3 is now the official owner of the BDO after AJ Maddah recently transferred his shares to the American company. If there is any light to cling to, the company, which also runs Lollapalooza, said in a statement that they are proud of the Australian brand and that they “intend to bring back the festival in future years”. Thanks for the memories.
