Getting drenched in sweat from the people you love while seeing live music in the beating sun is a fine Australian tradition. Another year has passed, and it’s time to get your sleeveless t shirts ready because Big Day Out 2014 tickets are about to go on sale.

The 2014 lineup is looking like a party we don’t want to miss. Sure, we’re going to be thirsty as hell in the inevitable heat, but at least Snoop Lion will be there to bless us with a contact buzz. Major Lazer, Flosstradamus and Mac Miller are all slated to appear as well. So, after we get our hands on a holographic ticket, we’ll be getting our freak on in a sea of young hotties come January.
