Quotes attributable to Queensland Country Bank Stadium Venue General Manager Cameron Jones:
“This is going to be THE event of the summer, so we’ve stocked up with around 45 pallets of food and drink, ready for concert goers this weekend.
“It’s going to be a hot one, up to 31 degrees, so we’re encouraging people to stay hydrated at one of the many water stations across the venue, and if you purchase a drink, please use the Container for Change bins provided to support Movember.
“Container recovery rates at our events are around 90%, so this concert could raise as much as $4,000 so we’re hoping concertgoers get onboard – our own team is also sporting moustaches and has been MO’ving for the month in support.
“We’re looking forward to a killer event - please our visit website for transport and gate details and most importantly ensure you download your ticket onto the AXS app.”
