This was on at Kings Park on Saturday 16th November.
Present were Rainy Day Women, Dave Grainy, The Whitlams, You Am I, and the Hoodoo Gurus. And about 6000 people enjoying themselves.
Ticketmaster sent me an invitation to review, but I'm not really understanding their T&C, so I'll do it here where I'm not signing away anything.
I know the Hoodoo Gurus were the big attraction, but the Whitlams really stood out for me. Everything else something of a bonus, it was well worth going. We were seated on the bank, everyone was having a super time and there wasn't any unpleasantness that I noticed. Security was highly visible and not abrasive. We had our picnic, drank our coffee and enjoyed the show very much.
Two gripes - this was a really male dominated show. One super woman drummer and one woman singing one song (very nice too) seems wildly out of balance!
It would have been nice to be able to find out what take away food options were available at the venue beforehand - JD's never got back to me when I asked. While we had a very nice gluten free picnic hot food would have been a nice option. But when I rang to find out what gluten free options there might be, no one called me back. When we got there they had Mexican and Hot Spuds, which I believe would have been alright.
But as for the performances - super show and well worth it.
As for the seating, wasn't an allocated seat, it's just a patch of grass. Why I give it 5 stars is because really, you get just as good a view as anyone in a real seat, the sound was fine, and it's a LOT less expensive and has potential shade if you're arriving early, which of course you should do, to get the shade. You get more room and you can bring your esky.
