SNOOP DOGG aka SNOOP LION & MAC MILLER
SNOOP DOGG aka SNOOP LION has announced Big Day Out 2014 sideshows with special guest MAC MILLER.
As the go-to-man to get your booty movin’, SNOOP DOGG aka SNOOP LION has solidified his position as the world’s leading hip hop artist. Recently adopting the moniker Snoop Lion after an inspirational trip to Jamaica, these shows will be the first time Australians will see the reinvented ‘reggae’ superstar live on stage performing a mix of Lion tracks and his greatest Dogg hits!
Joining Da Big Bo$$ Dogg on these very smooth shows is none-other than MAC MILLER, fellow-Big Day Out artist, close friend of Snoop’s and one of the brightest stars in the hip hop scene. 21 year old Mac Miller has been making huge waves in the music world with two US top #3 albums already under his belt.

SNOOP DOGG aka SNOOP LION is the man that needs no introduction; since the release of Doggystyle Snoop has been on a non-stop ride, now a bona fide music legend, humanitarian and, well, The Doggfather of hip hop.

MAJOR LAZER & FLOSSTRADAMUS
MAJOR LAZER are going to tear the roof off two sideshows in Melbourne and Sydney this January, thanks to a little help from their friends in FLOSSTRADAMUS.
MAJOR LAZER and FLOSSTRADAMUS have let hoards of people know what’s up when they take the stage at Mad Decent’s block parties across the USA. Together they have partied and made beautiful music, with FLOSSTRADAMUS releasing a booty-droppin’ remix of MAJOR LAZER hit, ‘Original Don’, which has received millions of views online. These Big Day Out sideshows are going to explode. We don’t want to seem concerned, but you have been warned…
