Love Festivals? Want More? BAM! FEST
Monday, 29 March 2010
BAM! Fest is southeast Queensland’s hottest new annual festival bringing you three epic days of non-stop entertainment this October. It’s cool, it’s funky, it’s hip-hop-and-happening, and it’s chock full of yummy tid-bits to suit everybody’s taste. Seriously. With a mixture of over 100 well known and local acts across six arenas, plus secret gardens, German beer halls, bazaar performances, and quirky surprises, BAM! is promising something for everyone.
And that’s not even the best bit yet: BAM! is a 24 hour event and you get to camp in the festival ensuring you don’t miss a single second of the excitement! So dance through sunrise in the secret garden, check out the carnies or cabaret, sample the delights of the international food stalls, recharge your batteries with some yoga, go shopping in the marketplace, or simply laze in your tent while you watch an act on the main stage.
Brisbane local and founder of BAM!, Sarita Beavis, aims to produce a festival that cares about the experience more than anything else. A festival that cultivates creativity, caters for all genres and promotes Australian acts (both national and local).
“There is some amazing talent that comes out of southeast Queensland and if people stop and listen to these artists they are going to be really blown away,” says Sarita.
The stunning Peak Mountain venue (Ivory’s Rock) is just a 45-minute drive from Brisbane’s CBD and features over 800 hectares of natural forest and jaw-dropping views. There is no need to “rough it” because along with marquees, an amphitheatre and paved roads, the site also features spacious campsites, real showers/toilets and undercover areas.
To celebrate its exciting debut BAM! is giving 600 ticket buyers discount access to the VIP undercover area, “The Greenroom” that comes complete with a private bar, private stage and real toilets. As a 1st 600 Club life member you’ll continue to receive internet pre-sale access EVERY year. 1st 600 Club tickets are now on sale through moshtix.com.au and at just $191 + BF including camping these tickets aren’t going to last for much longer!
So air out that tent, mark BAM! in your calendar for October 8th, 9th and 10th, and keep your ears open for the line-up (released May 10).
