AFI have pulled out of the 2006 Big Day Out festival, due to work on their album overrunning and touring plans consequently being put on hold. Festival Organisers are looking for a replacement, but it's still a great line-up in any case with White Stripes, Iggy & The Stooges, Franz Ferdinand, Kings of Leon, The Go! Team, The Mars Volta and The Magic Numbers all set to appear. And the dates of the festival, in case you'd forgotten, are:
20 Jan: Auckland Ericsson Stadium
22 Jan: Gold Coast Parklands
26 Jan: Sydney Showground
29 Jan: Princes Park South
3 Feb: Royal Adelaide Showground
5 feb: Claremont Showground
