One Night Stand concert sold out
WITHIN 24 hours of going on sale last Thursday morning, all tickets to triple j’s ‘One Night Stand’ concert were sold out.
For the first time, Warrnambool is set to host the biggest music event in its history.
The event looks set to attract about 10,000 people to Friendly Societies Park on Saturday, September 14.
The event was first held in 2004 and ran annually until 2019, with 2024 marking its return post-pandemic.
Over 2000 listeners made submissions to triple j in a bid to have the event held in their town, with Warrnambool chosen as the best candidate for 2024.
The line-up includes G Flip, Ruel, What So Not + Friends, Thelma Plum, Sycco, DICE, a triple j Unearthed competition winner, and other special guests yet to be announced.
“Warrnambool is a city with a long and proud love of music,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said.
“We’re also an events city, and I’m really excited to welcome so many people from far and wide to Warrnambool in September.
“It’s also great news for music lovers in our region, with some of the biggest names in Australian music coming to Warrnambool.
“The One Night Stand model is so good for young people, with tickets just $10, it makes seeing some of these superstar acts a lot more affordable for everyone.
“This is going to be the biggest music event Warrnambool has ever seen.”
Cr Blain said council would be delivering Live and Local as part of the One Night Stand program to provide further ongoing support to Warrnambool’s local live music community.
“Live and Local, funded through the Live Music Office, delivers a number of exciting events and opportunities including a Local Industry Forum which will be held on Thursday, September 12 in the lead up to One Night Stand, so stay tuned for further details.”
One Night Stand is an all-ages, drug-and-alcohol-free event.
All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Australian music industry’s charity, Support Act.
