After dropping hints all week, triple j Brekkie boys Ben & Liam have finally confirmed the location of triple j’s 2018 One Night Stand concert.
This year, on Saturday 1 September, we’re taking the FREE, all ages concert featuring Vance Joy, Peking Duk, Tkay Maidza, Middle Kids and Alex the Astronaut, to St Helens in Tasmania!
Over the past 15 years we’ve shared the big live music experience with regional towns all over the country, from Mount Isa QLD (2017) to Geraldton WA (2016). Now it’s St Helens’ time to shine, as we spotlight a little town with a big heart in the country’s Southern-most state.
On the importance of St Helens’ hosting the 2018 One Night Stand, esteemed Mayor and local woodchopping champion Mick Tucker says:
“This concert will not only bring the young people of St Helens together but give them a huge sense of pride in our little town. We might be small but this just shows we punch above our weight.” And on what makes St Helens so special he added “St Helens is the action capital of Tasmania — with our water sports, game fishing and walking trails, and now the 2018 One Night Stand!”
While St Helens isn’t the real capital of Tasmania, it is the biggest town on Tasmania’s East Coast, an hour and a half from Launceston by car, with a population of just 2,500. The traditional owners of the land are the Kunnarra Kuna group of the Pyemmairrener people and it’s surrounded by some of the most stunning beaches in the world; from The Bay of Fires to Peron Dunes, you’ll find white sand, crystal-clear water, bright orange boulders and untamed bush.
We’re so thrilled to bring this great town to you over the next few months, as we get to know the locals before the main event.
Then listen to triple j on Saturday 1 September as we broadcast the massive FREE, all ages concert live on the radio, bringing you all the live sets, interviews and backstage goss. Plus we’ll be sharing videos, photos and music news throughout the day, so you can party with us in person, live on the radio, online or on social media.
