In 2001, Brisbane’s own Resin Dogs lit up the Big Day Out stage in Sydney with a high-voltage set that had the crowd dripping in sweat and bouncing to every beat. This clip captures their signature sound: a fearless mash-up of hip-hop, funk and dance, powered by live musicians, DJs and breakdancers throwing down in perfect sync. Festival legends, the hip-hop collective owned Big Day Out for seven epic years and scored back-to-back Best Live Act wins at the Australian Dance Music Awards in 2002 and 2003. Performances like this didn’t just entertain – they defined an era of Australian festival culture.
