The much-loved GTM recipe of taking a tasty selection of the most memorable, talented and exciting national and international artists to regional Australia and the Nation’s capital for five value-packed shows returns in April/May 2011.
The program features acts to satisfy all palates and is guaranteed to have everyone dancing, rocking and jumping around from gates open to lights out. Once more, music lovers from major cities, regional centres and small country towns will meet, party and fall in love at their local GTM.
“I’m really excited about this years program. Again we’ve been able to attract some of the best Australian acts going around, as well as an exciting selection of internationals. To take a lineup of this quality to audiences that would not normally get the chance to see these acts is something GTM is very proud of,” said Stephen Halpin, Cattleyard Promotions.
The GTM path becomes more entrenched each year, forged by the wonderfully energetic and dedicated audience that make the annual return to Bendigo (30 April), Townsville (1 May), Maitland (7 May), Canberra (8 May) and Bunbury (14 May). With a ticket price at under $100, GTM is one of the most accessible and best value days on the calendar.
Featuring over eleven hours of exciting acts, as well as improved and expanded facilities, this licensed all ages (recommended 16+) event will feature the return of the impressive double outdoor stages as well as the mighty Moolin Rouge dance tent. The culinary needs of all punters will be catered for with an abundance of local food and market stalls along with licensed bar facilities, slingshot rides and chill out areas.
