New Zealand Big Day Out fans will need to stay up late if they want to know who's playing at next year's Australasian music festival.
After days of confusion over where and when the line-up would be announced, Big Day Out organisers confirmed on Facebook that band names would be drip-fed via social media sites tomorrow night.
Organisers said 17 acts would be announced between 8-10pm (Australian time) on Thursday night, with three headlining acts - "and something else that is sick" held back until Friday morning.
With a three-hour time difference, that means Kiwi music fans face a late night on Thursday, and an early start on Friday, to have the line-up revealed to them.
Previous years have seen line-ups revealed at an early morning mid-week shindig for media and industry members at Backbeat bar on K Rd in Auckland. That won't be happening this year.
