Highlight Of The Decade

The Big Day Out music festival (RIP) provided plenty of memories for a lot of people. Mine came in 2010, when a 14-year-old me sweated it out at the front of the main stage all goddamn day to be as close to Muse as possible when they headlined the event.

Prediction For Next Decade 

Muse will still be headlining festivals in the decade to come... maybe even a returning Big Day Out? The festival's last hurrah was back in 2014 but the nostalgia is still very alive, and if this decade has taught me anything, it's that there's always room for a nostalgia act.
