It's ten years since the folk at Day on the Green launched their popular series of live concerts in vineyards around Australia and they've decided to celebrate in style by serving up a double bill of musical magic featuring two or the rock world's best loved front women... Debbie Harry and Chrissie Hynde.
Yes that's right, the mighty Blondie and the legendary Pretenders will be rocking the wineries this November/December in one cracker of a double bill!
With a swag of Top Ten hits to their names their is no denyingthe popularity of these two acts so tickets are sure to sell out fast..
Australia has always had a special place in the band Blondie's heart, being the first country in the world to give them commercial success when Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum mistakenly played ‘In The Flesh’ (the B side of a single) on Countdown in 1976. After a 25 year hiatus, Blondie toured Australia five years ago and can’t wait to get back.
When co-headliners The Pretenders last toured with ‘a day on the green’ three years ago, Chrissie Hynde declared the concerts ‘some of our favourite shows of all time’. “I am so excited to be coming back to Australia – some of the most fun audiences we’ve ever had – and the beautiful countryside! Yes, we can’t wait to rock out down under. See you soon you crazy Aussies!!”
As always ‘a day on the green’ is pleased to showcase two Australian artists as support acts, Melbourne five-piece Little Red and Magic Dirt’s Adalita.
