Brown disappointed with BDO demise


Auckland Mayor Len Brown says he is disappointed the Big Day Out will not return to Auckland next year but has left the door open for organisers.

“It’s disappointing that it appears there won’t be a Big Day Out this summer.

“But even without BDO there will be a big season of events on offer in Auckland, and we look forward to welcoming BDO back at a later date,” Brown told Fairfax Media.

The annual music festival was given another go this year after a one-year hiatus and shift to central Auckland’s Western Springs Stadium.
