Like them or not, it will be a massive coup, they are undeniably one of the most important bands in music history, or indeed in the history of the 20th Century. You would prefer One Direction or something?
You're misinformed. This would be part of a national stadium tour... it'd be like Kiss and Mötley Crew at the Clipsal 500, the state government would pay the promoters to secure an Adelaide date on the tour. There is nothing exclusive about this idea.build 'em smarter wrote:It doesnt matter who the headline act is, as long as it is an instantly recognisable band, and that the concert at Adelaide Oval is an Australian exclusive (one off), not part of a tour... this will then make news interstate, promoting the oval and Adelaide...
Of course. unless the act chosen is their favourite performer. Musical taste is so varied it would be impossible to get one act to please the majority. That said even though the Stones aren't my cup o tea, it seems like a solid choice to open the Oval IMO. Better than Meatloaf;) lolHooligan wrote:Regardless of who the opening act is people will complain.
and no. That's just not an Adelaide thing.
Not if it's true that the State Government are offering $$$ as a sweetener to avoid them skipping Adelaide altogether.claybro wrote:As this is not a one off concert and just part of a national tour, it does not even rate a mention as the opening act of the new oval regardless of who it is. Could be 1D for all anyone will care interstate.... Really, I dont get the fuss over this... the "Stones need a large arena to perform in, and the oval will be the logical (only)choice in Adelaide. That it is going to be promoted as "the opening act" and as if that is the only reason they are coming to Adelaide because of the new oval is just a wank by the Adelaide media.
not sure why the state government would have to offer the Strolling Bones a sweetner to come here, when Bon Jovi are apparently happy to do a stadium gig without such a sweetner. Regardless...if the state government have offered a sweetner to come here, well and good, but it will not be the national exposure being hyped here by the media, if they are playing every other capital anyway. It will be a big splash in the small pond of Adelaide only. The real opening for most will be the first ever AFL game at the new stadium.Matt wrote:Not if it's true that the State Government are offering $$$ as a sweetener to avoid them skipping Adelaide altogether.claybro wrote:As this is not a one off concert and just part of a national tour, it does not even rate a mention as the opening act of the new oval regardless of who it is.

Don't suppose we can postpone Bon Jovi by a couple of months and have him as the opening act at Adelaide Ovalclaybro wrote:not sure why the state government would have to offer the Strolling Bones a sweetner to come here, when Bon Jovi are apparently happy to do a stadium gig without such a sweetner.

they have almost finished levelling out most of the undersoil, so I would imagine they will start laying the grass in the next 2 weeks. they have already laid the drop in pitches. the first Sheffield Shield match is in late november so they would need the turf laid well before then.Seldom21 wrote:G'day, enjoyed looking at all the recent pictures on here!
Wondering if anyone has an idea of when the turf will be laid on the oval?
