Big Day Out 2013 Line-Up Announced

The line-up for the first Big Day Out without NZ was announced this morning and damn it's good.  Red Hot Chili Peppers, who have just been announced to play one show in Auckland,  and The Killers headline alongside Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, Band of Horses, Animal Collective, Sleigh Bells, Against Me!, Foals and more.
