Sound Relief

[Redline]

While I'm over hearing about the hundreds of fundraising events that have happened, and are still to happen since the fires, this actually sounds like it would be a good concert...some very interesting acts will be performing...

MELBOURNE
Augie March, Bliss N Esso with Paris Wells, Gabrielle Cilmi, Hunters and Collectors, Kasey Chambers& Shane Nicholson w/ Troy Cassar-Daley, Jack Johnson, Jet, kings Of Leon, Liam Finn, Midnight Oil (lol), Paul Kelly, Split Endz, Wolfmother (I can only assume it's the new lineup).

SYDNEY
Coldplay, Eskimo Joe, Hoodoo Gurus, Icehouse, Jet, Josh Pyke, Little Birdy, The PResets, Wolfmother, You Am I and more to be announced apparently.

Would like to see Coldplay, Eskimo Joe, The Presets, You Am I, Kings of Leon if I could get to Melbourne, and just for laughs, Midnight Oil...just to laugh at Garret shaking all over the stage.

From the sound relief site ...

The concerts will be a celebration of multiple music genres, with artists playing short sets packed with hits.  Concert goers are encouraged to attend the concerts from start to finish as major artists will be spread across the bill right from the very start of the day.

Coldplay and Kings Of Leon, who both have sold out concerts on March 14 in Sydney and Melbourne respectively, have kindly donated time from their busy schedules to perform 3-4 songs in the early afternoon.

Tickets will be sold for $75 and will go on sale from Ticketek 132 849 www.ticketek.com.au on Wednesday March 4, 2009 at 9am.  GA Standing on the field and reserved seating in the stands will be available for both concerts.

100% of the proceeds from the Melbourne concert will be donated to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

For the Sydney concert 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal and 50% will be donated to The Premier's Disaster Relief Fund Appeal in QLD to aid the victims of the Queensland floods.

Particular thanks is extended to the Victorian Premiers Department, Cricket Australia and Cricket Victoria for their magnanimous decision to move the Sheffield Shield final out of the MCG, in turn freeing this iconic venue to be used for the Melbourne Sound Relief concert on March 14.

Tickets to Sound Relief go on sale from Ticketek 132 849 or www.ticketek.com.au on Wednesday March 4 at 9am.  Get in quick for what is set to be a once in a lifetime concert event.

I'll go if I can see Coldplay killed live on stage.

Split Endz, Icehouse, Hunters and Collectors, Hoodoo Gurus, Midnight Oil, Paul Kelly.....fark me have we gone back to the 80s or something? Better have a defibrillator side stage...some of these acts could cark it mid song!


....and if I hear "One Crowded Hour" by Augie March again in the next ten years, I swear I'll go Ljubo. :-X

 

[Redline]

Paul Kelly was the headline for one of the summer festivals...homebake I think. But yeah they are all old acts.

 

[mariners4ever]

hmm sounds pretty good, but will be interesting to see how wolfmother try to perform at both

 

[Redline]

Apparently they're playing first in Melbourne, then catching a plane to Sydney to play later in the day there.

I think you just invented a new situational verb....... brilliant.

Yet another rip off from another era from Wolfmother. Be original, guys!

I was never into Wolfmother originally..I take it they did something similar?

 

[serious14]

Your mate Phil Collins took a Concorde to play at both Live Aids back in the day......

 

[FFC Mariner]

London and then Philly in the same day (timezones worked in his favour)

The verb "to Ljubo"

I Ljubo
You Ljubo
He/she/it Ljubo's

Hmmmmmmmmmmm if Dibo approves, a new verb is born

I knew that..I have the original Live Aid on dvd James, remember? I thought he meant the original lineup of Wolfmother had done that already.

 

[~Floss~]

No, just that they are a deliberate rip-off of stuff that other bands have already done. (i think)
