Made infamous by its unpredictability and "anything-goes" approach, you can once again expect the unexpected at the Lilyworld Stage of the Big Day Out in 2007. But it's not all Trash Sculptures, Recycled Men and equally recycled jokes. There is als an array of local and international talent that will please a wide cross section of the BDo audience.

Listen up for the wisdom of the Jah Messenger LUCIANO (Jamaica). Renowned worldwide for his rasta message of love and peace set to irresistible melodies and mellow, soulful vocals, LUCIANO will tantalize LILYWORLD immigrants with his wit, charisma and good vibes. Accompanying LUCIANO is reggae warrior MIKEY GENERAL whose uplifting roots reggae sounds have been floating like a warm breeze across the sands of the music scene for over 20 years.

Warming up the stage for LUCIANO will be legendary selector RICKY TROOPER (ex Killamanjaro) who will take sound followers on an excursion to speaker box central with the legendary Jamaican SOUND TROOPER SOUND SYSTEM. (All shows)

Their special guest line-up also includes the HEAVY FLINT SHOW with Keith from The Prodigy igniting LILYWORLD with his psychosomatic antics and teaming up with HEAVY G for a set that will feature some dancefloor killers. Keith will be on re-mixes and hosting a firestarter look-a-like competition! …with massive prizes! (East Coast Shows)

SNEAKY SOUND SYSTEM bring Bondi Beach to the BIG DAY OUT. Heroes of ocean-side electro-funk SNEAKY SYSTEM will turn up the party grooves at LILYWORLD and have you sweating to their sun-soaked beach-porn boogie. (East Coast Shows)

Also making a guest appearance is AFRA & INCREDIBLE BEATBOX BAND (JAPAN): three men, three mics, no decks, and a fat-ass, old school block party vibe, Japan's good-time beatboxing contribution to the international hip hop world, will work it as special guests on the LILYWORLD stage. (All shows)

One of the most influential artists in the Pacific, New Zealand's KING KAPISI joins the united nations of LILYWOLRD. Festival favourite in NZ and around the world KING KAPISI will be mixing rhymes and beats to usher in a new resolution in Samoan hip hop. (All Shows)
