Historique

Le festival naît en 1992 à Sydney, et est étendu à Melbourne, Perth et Adélaïde en 1993. En 1994, Auckland, en Nouvelle-Zélande, et la Gold Coast viennent s'ajouter à la liste. À la suite de l'annonce de la fin du festival en 1997, quelques instigateurs (Vivian Less et Ken West) tentèrent d'organiser un festival consacré aux musiques électroniques, mais le festival fut annulé. Finalement, le Big Day Out réapparait en 1999.
