We just received the following press release from Big Day Out promoters! They’ve made quite the generous donation to the QLD Flood Relief. Read on!
Queensland and Brisbane are currently facing continuing devastating flooding and are in a “State of Disaster” and the thoughts of everyone at the Big Day Out go out to the Queensland population and our audience members in this time of challenge. We hope the worst passes soon.
As part of Big Day Out continuing charity initiative, a contribution of $20,000 will be made to Queensland Flood relief from the January 2011 shows.
We wish to advise that preparations for the Gold Coast Big Day Out are continuing notwithstanding the current difficulties caused by severe flooding throughout the State.
At the moment the Gold Coast has been spared the brunt of the heavy rains and the Gold Coast, and the Big Day Out Parklands site, are currently in good condition.
The site build commenced on schedule this morning (Wednesday) and while certain elements and deliveries will need to be resourced and redirected due to road closures, the essential elements for the show are now being moved into place and we are commencing to build the show as usual.
At this stage we have a full expectation that the show will go on Sunday, 23 January as scheduled.
