Australian radio station Triple M are reporting that Prince met with BDO organisers in Europe recently about playing next year!! (see link above)

Aside from the fact that big festivals often start this one to generate interest etc, is any one else down under hoping that he might use BDO as an opportunity to reward his very loyal aussie fans with a loooooooong over due visit?!!!

Anyways, thought you might like to know.......

Soooo, I'm not understanding...do you think he should play there or not?

God I hope not. I don't want to be surrounded by bored teenagers waiting for whatever dreadful band they're really there to listen to.

I don't mind if he plays there or not as long as it isn't exclusive and he can't do any other shows...

He does seem to be in festival mood these days so who knows !

I hope he plays in Australia, but not at a festival. I don't want to have to listen to other artists.

Although, drunk bogans, too many people and ridiculeously hot weather are bigger concerns for me.

Exactly. Forget casual fans, you're going to have a bunch of teens/young people who don't even know any of the songs...

The level of bittersweet feeling (with a heavy emphasis on the bitter element) if he did play BDO would be ridiculously high for me

drunk people in bintang singlets...the dreaded gold coast it'd be for me

play somewhere good instead!

oh dear lord no.

worst match for him vs audience.

plus i dont own the correct singlet to get in.

Eye hope prince plays downunder......

i hope he comes here... even for 1 show!!!

i will be there... better warn security

I've heard that the "old prince" comes out when his drunk.

Will find out this Friday when they announce the three headliners.

Can't see it happening but hey this is Prince.

god no please don't let it be true

the big day out is horrrrrrrrible... i could not bear to have to see prince there.. it is a ridiculous thought.. it would just be wrong.. wrong on so many levels.. but true this is prince and stranger things have happened.. i want to see him do his own show

but the organisers usually make the headliners sign a contract forbidding them from doing their own sideshows - thus forcing the headliner's fans to HAVE to attend the BDO to see them!

i will cry if this is true!

prettttttttttttty much! at the same time though, i don't want to wish him away from coming at all

it would be superdooperultramega wrong though to see prince at BDO.

this is actually the second rumour of prince playing oz i've heard lately

afew months back there was talk of an offer put to prince, or his 'people', for him to come down here and play at the opening launch of the new revamped star city casino.. but that just happened the other week... so looks like he turned that down flat

maybe he is planning a tour but shopping for the right time/opportunity?

What is Big Day Out? And why are you all complaining about it?

An Australian/Asian tour sounds logical. He hasn't been there a while, has he? And Andy and the band haven't seen that side of the world yet, right? So, maybe with a little time between concerts for some sight-seeing-trips and BBQ's sounds nice.

sounds like a much more definite no with Soundgarden being headliners and i read also that they posted some update saying that no acts starting with a P or an R will be headlining (Prince, Pearl Jam and Radiohead)

soooooooooooooo, just come do a tour man!

im only 15 and i have not been to a Prince concert yet i wish he could just do his own concert in australia thats my dream

I guess if he does come to Australia all Aussies should definitely go, because if we look at history then we can probably infer that he'll never be back here again.

So it's Kanye headlining BDO after all.

Prince, you need to do a show in Australia.

Long live the Opera House Dream.................!
