Tsunami Aid: tickets for WaveAid on sale today
Continuing on with items about Tsunami assistance, tickets go on sale today for Wave Aid, a benefit concert in Sydney on Saturday 29th January.

As mentioned in an earlier post, this show will feature a Midnight Oil reunion (my own guess is there won’t be too many more of those), Silverchair (who also haven’t played together for some time and may or may not do so again much in the future), Brisbane lads Powderfinger, plus Nick Cave playing in what is being billed as “intimate mode” (which I expect just means he’ll play some solo songs on the piano or with one or two backing musos, rather than tell the crowd lots of intimate stories or show off intimate body parts).

Some other good acts like The Waifs and Missy Higgins will be performing too - all for just $58.00. Even better, it is an “all ages” show. Given that tickets for the recent Australian tour of The Eagles sold for up to $560!! (‘cheap’ seats went for $95.40), Fleetwood Mac for up to $199 and Neil Diamond at $99, I think this line up of Australian talent is fantastic value.

(The second concert I ever went to was a Neil Diamond show when I was about 11 years old, but that’s a story for another time.)
