Abstract
In these proceedings I discuss various extragalactic surveys which will be undertaken over the
next few years and which will be complementary to any HI and/or continuum surveys with the
SKA-precursor telescopes. I concentrate on the near-infrared public surveys which will be undertaken
with the Visible and Infrared Survey Telscope for Astronomy (VISTA), and in particular
the VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO) survey which will provide the ideal data
set to combine with any deep SKA-precursor observations of the extragalactic sky. After highlighting
the links that the SKA precursors have with the various VISTA surveys, I briefly describe
two forthcoming Herschel surveys, Herschel-ATLAS survey and HerMES which have a large
scientific overlap with the SKA-precursor telescopes. Finally, I present a case study in combining
multi-wavelength data sets with radio-frequency surveys to find the highest redshift radio sources
with the aim of probing the epoch of reionization.
