A DAY ON THE GREEN
Season Wrap

Eighteen seasons in, and 470 shows under our belt, a day on the green has once again reaffirmed its status as one of Australia’s premier outdoor concert events.
Delivering our most diverse season since launching in 2001, this summer saw a stack of sensational shows, including 11 sold-out concerts from some of the biggest international and Australian artists.
The season kicked off with a sold-out tour from John Farnham playing to 60,000 people around the country, and continued with events headlined by Florence + The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kylie Minogue, Bryan Ferry, Bryan Adams and John Butler Trio & Missy Higgins, with special international guests including Richard Marx, Jake Shears, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic and Marlon Williams.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers concert at our biggest venue, Mt Duneed Estate in Geelong, was so red hot it became the fastest-selling show in a day on the green history! It was also the setting for one of Florence Welch’s most memorable shows of her Australian tour.
“Geelong was crazy – there were just so many people. I couldn’t believe it, I was really moved by it. It was a really beautiful thing. There were people as far as I could see, it [Geelong] kind of had like a Woodstock feeling to it, it was outdoors and it was a really incredible show.” – Florence Welch, Florence + The Machine, triple j
Roundhouse Entertainment Promoter Michael Newton said: “We’re proud to consistently deliver premium outdoor concert experiences to the high standard a day on the greenhas become renowned for. It’s a tough, competitive marketplace and to remain viable, it’s essential to grow the brand to reach new audiences. Securing diverse and high-profile acts such as Florence + The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kylie Minogue and Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road world tour is testament to our fantastic team who work hard to provide the best possible experience we can, as well as our loyal patrons and stakeholders who continue to support us and the artists we present.”
a day on the green continues to offer its loyal audiences an unmatched first-class event experience, something warmly acknowledged by patrons, artists and the media.
“A Day On The Green has become a much-loved staple of Australian music culture. When Mick and Anthea Newton created the event as ‘a Big Day Out for grown-ups’ in 2001 little did they know then that this would be one of the biggest live attractions in Australia almost 20 years later.” – Noise 11
“A Day On The Green continues to set the standard when it comes to outdoor concert events.” – Newcastle Herald
“When the Emcee steps up and announces that this is the 455th A Day On The Green, you can be confident that they’ve got it right, a tried and tested formula travelling the length and breadth of Australia, and what a line-up for the first A Day On The Green in the Hunter Valley – the back half best described as a history lesson of Australian rock and roll.” – Newcastle Live
“We look forward to returning to the cleanest and classiest festival you can attend.” – Blank GC
“Ingredients were ripe for A Day On The Green at Victoria’s Rochford Winery: balmy skies, light breezes, full-strength drinks and an eclectic bill headed by the king of cool, Bryan Ferry, supported by a trio of local acts. The well-oiled event ran to the minute, with chair hire, food trucks, multiple bar stalls, clean portaloos and a superb sound system aimed at maximum enjoyment.” – The Daily Review
“Mt Duneed Estate offers up an incredible venue to showcase music to a large audience while never sacrificing sound quality.” – The Age / Sydney Morning Herald
“Thanks must go once again to the organisers of A Day On The Green for a fantastic line-up of talent and hosting such a great event. Every year the shows just go up another notch and keep getting better. Can’t wait to see how magical the already sold out Elton John shows are in 2020!” – The Dwarf
This season saw more of promoter Roundhouse Entertainment’s outstanding support of Australian talent, welcoming Daryl Braithwaite, Russell Morris, Mark Seymour & The Undertow, Dan Sultan, Busby Marou, Mahalia Barnes, Stephen Cummings, Models, as well as many “first-timers”, I’m Talking, Bachelor Girl, Pierce Brothers, Stella Donnelly, Hatchie, Slowly Slowly, Jack River and Client Liaison.
The second collaboration with the team behind RNB Fridays for the RNB Vine Days series proved another smashing success, showcasing some of the biggest names in contemporary R&B – including Nelly, Craig David, All Saints, Amerie and YO! MAFIA– and had the crowds groovin’ on the greens!
Continuing the a day on the green ethos of bringing great music to regional areas, it’s a privilege to welcome back Sir Elton John to a day on the green for season 2019-2020 for five shows during his massive Farewell Yellow Brick Road Australian tour. The excitement surrounding the event at All Saints Estate in Rutherglen, VIC has been nothing short of incredible!
With more than 3.5 million tickets sold to date, the a day on the green experience of good food, fine wine and great music, with some of the biggest artists in the world performing at some of the most beautiful outdoor locations in Australia, remains unrivalled.
We look forward to welcoming you to a day on the green somewhere around the country next season.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
