As a double-bill, its a world first! Its also an absolute cracker and thats exactly what fans can savour
when Blondie & The Pretenders co-headline a November/December tour of a day on the green winery
shows, including Peter Lehmann Wines, Barossa Valley on Saturday November 27.
This very special double header launches the 2010/2011 a day on the green season, the events 10th
anniversary. A bumper summer of concerts are planned to celebrate this significant milestone, so lets
get the partee started!
Both The Pretenders and Blondie have enjoyed great success in Australia, fuelled by a stream of timeless
Top Ten hits and the popularity of Hynde and Harry. Both ladies have always escaped the usual clichs of
women in rock and are unquestionably two of the most important and influential women to have graced
the stage. As co-headliners, the bands will alternate in closing the shows.
Blondie emerged from the late 70s New York punk scene and quickly became music, style and pop
culture icons selling more than 40 million albums. They scored hits with reggae, rock/disco, hip hop and
pop songs bursting with great hooks and brilliant, ironic lyrics. Heart Of Glass was Blondies first US #1
in 1978 opening the floodgates to a run of 14 Top Ten US hits including The Tide Is High, Call Me,
Rapture, Picture This, Rip her To Shreds, Hanging On The Telephone, Union City Blues and Atomic,
racking up a phenomenal five US and five UK number one singles.
Debbie, founding member & song writing partner Chris Stein and long-time drummer Clem Burke have
just completed their first new album in six years titled Panic Of Girls, set for release later this year, and
on June 8 commence a world tour in the UK.
Australia has always had a special place in the bands heart, being the first country in the world to give
them commercial success when Ian Molly Meldrum mistakenly played In The Flesh (the B side of a
single) on Countdown in 1976. After a 25 year hiatus, Blondie toured Australia five years ago and can
wait to get back.
When co-headliners The Pretenders last toured with a day on the green three years ago, Chrissie
Hynde declared the concerts some of our favourite shows of all time. I am so excited to be coming
back to Australia some of the most fun audiences weve ever had and the beautiful countryside! Yes,
we can wait to rock out down under. See you soon you crazy Aussies!!
The Pretenders are undoubtedly a special band with a special place in history. Their brand new live CD &
DVD Pretenders-Live In London (Liberator) captures one of their many electrifying performances and is a
timely reminder of what a great rock band they are. With hits like Talk Of The Town, Kid, Back On The
Chain Gang, Don Get Me Wrong, Middle Of The Road, Message Of Love, Ill Stand By You, Stop
Your Sobbing and Brass In Pocket, The Pretenders may have been rockin for 30 years but their
authenticity has never diminished.
As always a day on the green is pleased to showcase two Australian artists as support acts, Melbourne
five-piece Little Red and Magic Dirts Adalita.
Little Red boasts three lead singers and a feel-good mix of back to basic rawness with timeless classicism.
Theyve toured the country and played many of Australias premiere music festivals to glowing reviews
and lots of dancing. With a brand new album slated for release later this year and a UK tour imminent,
Little Red look set to follow on from the success of their 2008 debut Listen To Little Red in a major way.
After being at the forefront of the Australian rock scene for more than a decade with iconic rock band
Magic Dirt, lead singer Adalita has taken time out to record her first solo album, due out soon. The
singer/guitarist played her first ever solo shows last year where she initiated new and old fans with her
brilliant new songs and trademark powerful vocals.
As we launch the upcoming summer season, promoter Roundhouse Entertainment is pleased to welcome
LG as the events major sponsor for the next three years. For LG, a day on the green reinforces our
Lifes Good brand values and gives us a chance to share that with hundreds of thousands of our
consumers all around Australia. Our partnership with a day on the green is an exciting opportunity for
us, and we are delighted to be a part of it, said LGs Corporate Marketing Manager, Mark Nesci.
After more than 210 shows and 1.5 million happy patrons, Roundhouse Entertainment is proud to be
celebrating its landmark 10th anniversary. The a day on the green experience of good food, good
wine and great music is firmly established as one of Australias most popular concert events.
