HENRY ROLLINS TO SPEAK VOLUMES AT THE 2006 BIG DAY OUT
The BIG DAY OUT is proud to announce one of true originals of contemporary pop-culture, singer-turned-author, activist, actor, publisher and spoken w0rd performer, the one and only HENRY ROLLINS as a special guest of the 2006 BDO tour (ALL SHOWS).
Previously Downunder with his massively successful SHOCK AND AWE… MY ASS tour, the prolific ROLLINS returns to Australian shores to deliver his inspired and ingenious spoken w0rd performances for BIG DAY OUT audiences across the country.
Renowned for his unrelenting passion, wit and intelligence, ROLLINS delivers performances that blur the lines between storytelling, standup comedy and political activism. Touted as a profane camp counselor telling stories round the campfire, HENRY ROLLINS shares fascinating and riotously funny tales from the road with energy and enthusiasm to burn.
Having previously shied away from performing his spoken w0rd shows at music festivals, Henry bit the bullet and performed 'Breakfast With Henry Rollins' at this years Donnington Rock Festival in the UK, going down a storm with 5000+ heavy metal fans. So much so that he has been booked to perform spoken w0rd at a series of European rock festivals throughout their summer. The Auckland BDO though, will mark just the second time Henry Rollins has performed spoken w0rd to a dedicated rock crowd.
With a no-holds-barred attitude to life ROLLINS continues the musical legacy of the seminal punk band Black Flag with the Rollins Band, as well as running a publishing company, a record label, working as a film critic, radio DJ, writer, political activist - you name it, he does. And if he hasn’t done yet, you can bet your ass he’ll do it soon!
ROLLINS will also be releasing a new spoken w0rd DVD - filmed earlier this year at the Sydney Shock and Awe tour shows - to coincide with the tour. It will be Henry's first ever live in Australia DVD.
Don’t miss HENRY ROLLINS’ very special performance at the BIG DAY OUT in 2006.
