7 Bands You Should See At ‘Big Day Out’ That Aren’t Headlining

Because it’s not all about Pearl Jam and Arcade Fire.

Ghost

Ghost

Ghost are a Swedish band that formed in 2008. Not much is known about them as they play under monikers like "Papa Emeritus II" and "The Nameless Ghouls." What IS known about them is their ecstatic and in-your-face sound - and the fact that Dave Grohl once played with them (but you'd never know.) Check them out at 8:00 at the JBL Essential Stage.

Iron Pegasus

Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man has a unique rock/psychedelia style that many have adored and enjoyed since their formation in 2005. They're fun, great to dance to and offer up something different from most other bands at BDO. They're also from Alaska so that's cool. Catch them on the Orange Stage at 1:00.
