Well what a start to the Australia Day 2012 celebrations!
We rocked up at around 18:30 and were treated to a display by the Rouletttes who are to Australia what the Red Arrows are to the UK, to say their display was brilliant would be an understatement, they flew so much lower than the arrows you almost felt like you could touch them.
The concert was held on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra with celebrations kicking off with the announcement of the Australian of the Year Awards.
Following that we had a couple of songs each from Katie Noonan and The Captains and INXS and then it was time to start the concert properly, in other words the part that was going out on tv.
We were treated to sets from INXS, Katie Noonan and The Captains, Sneaky Sound System, Spiderbait, and The Potbelleez which is being touted as the concert’s strongest line up yet.
For me INXS were brilliant but The Potbelleez were simply phenomenal totally getting the crowd behind them, and much bouncing was done!
There was a short set from Spiderbait whom I have never heard of before, but OMG! They totally tore the place apart, starting with what I believe to be an all time legend song Black Betty. They may not be your cup of tea but I would urge you to find them on YouTube performing this song, it had be at the first beat!
