Beastie Boys will be the headline act!
The Beastie Boys were last in Australia for the
2005 Big Day Out following the release of 2004's 'To The 5 Boroughs' album. In a recent interview the trio confirmed that they're working on the the follow up album and that it too will probably be a self-produced effort. More info on the Beastie Boys to follow shortly, but first, here is the full list of first round artists:
Jurassic 5 are MC's Chali 2na, Marc 7, Akil, Zaakir (Soup), and DJ/producer Nu-Mark. It is J5's masterful combination of innovative rhyme patterning, tag-team vocal exchanges, first-rate turntable feats, intricate sample-laden production and lyricism of the highest order that holds J5 at the top of the hip-hop food chain.
