The Big Day Out kicked off in Australia yesterday on the Gold Coast, and the festival posted a snap of Soundgarden’s set-list for their first Australian reunion performance.

It was a 15-song mix of the hits and a couple of rareties which had some Soundgarden superfans salivating on the comments.

Badmotorfinger fans got a good deal, with ‘Rusty Cage’, ‘Outshined’, ‘Searching With My Good Eye Closed’,  and ‘Jesus Christ Pose’.

They aired ‘Let Me Drown’, ‘Fell On Black Days’, ‘Black Hole Sun’, ‘The Day I Tried To Live’, ‘My Wave’, and ‘Spoonman’ from 1994’s Superunknown.

And ‘Ty Cobb’, ‘Blow Up The Outside World’ and ‘Burden In My Hand’ appeared from 1996’s Down On The Upside.

They also played ‘Loud Love’ from their second album and wound up the set with ‘Beyond The Wheel’ from their 1988 debut Ultramega OK.
