EIGHTEEN seasons in and 470 shows under the belt, A Day on the Green has again reaffirmed its status as one of Australia\u2019s premier outdoor concert events.<\/p>\n
Delivering its most diverse season since launching in 2001, this summer saw a stack of sensational shows, including 11 sold-out concerts from some of the biggest international and Australian artists.<\/p>\n
The Red Hot Chili Peppers concert at Mt Duneed Estate in Geelong was so red hot it became the fastest-selling show in A Day on the Green history, with the 20,000 tickets snapped up in record time.<\/p>\n
Mt Duneed Estate was also the setting for one of Florence Welch\u2019s most memorable shows of her Australian tour, likewise in front of 20,000 people.<\/p>\n
\u201cGeelong was crazy \u2013 there were just so many people. I couldn’t believe it, I was really moved by it,\u201d Welch told Triple J.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a really beautiful thing. There were people as far as I could see, it (Geelong) kind of had like a Woodstock feeling to it, it was outdoors and it was a really incredible show.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second collaboration with the team behind RNB Fridays for the RNB Vine Days series proved another success, showcasing some of the biggest names in contemporary R&B \u2013 including Nelly, Craig David, All Saints, Amerie and YO! MAFIA \u2013 at venues across Australia, including Mt Duneed Estate.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re proud to consistently deliver premium outdoor concert experiences to the high standard a day on the green has become renowned for,\u201d Roundhouse Entertainment promoter Michael Newton said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a tough, competitive marketplace and to remain viable, it\u2019s essential to grow the brand to reach new audiences.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecuring diverse and high-profile acts such as Florence + The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kylie Minogue and Elton John\u2019s Farewell Yellow Brick Road world tour is testament to our fantastic team who work hard to provide the best possible experience we can, as well as our loyal patrons and stakeholders who continue to support us and the artists we present.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
