It's Summer Somewhere: New Zealand

January 14, 2008 at 12:00 PM | by | Comment (1)

As winter rages on in most of the world, we're just happy to remind you that in sunny, stunning New Zealand summer's just kicking off.

What better way to greet it then by heading there next week for the Big Day Out, the awesome start-to-summer concert festival with acts including Arcade Fire, Rage Against the Machine and Kate Nash. It all goes down outside in the sunshine.

The show's in Auckland at the city's Mt. Smart Stadium and also features a bevy of other cool, on-site features like art installations and side show series. If you're a lucky duck and get to go, be sure to buy your tickets online or at a legitimate source in NZ. Apparently quite a few festival tickets were stolen this year and the organizers already know which tickets there are. So get legit tix, then have fun rockin' with the Kiwis!

The Big Day Out ...

... is just the best summer event. Big Day Outs are held all across Australia too. Bit controversial recently as they banned having Australian flags there - there were a few rough incidents. Still great music though as long as the weather doesn't head over the century.
