Pyramid Rock – Back, Big, Bigger, Better, Best!! The line up from Heaven

The colossal PYRAMID ROCK FESTIVAL is
returning to Phillip Island for its seventh year in succession! Running from Wednesday 29 December 2010 until Saturday 1 January 2011, we’re proud to announce that this years Pyramid Rock Festival is going to be bigger and better than ever!

After last years’ apocalyptic electrical storm there was a lot of speculation that Pyramid wouldn’t return to ring in the 2011 New Year. However, after the electrifying and untimely display by Mother Nature (described by keen weather watchers as a “once in a hundred year storm”), festival organisers have bunkered down to ensure that Pyramid 2010 will have the capacity to deal with any out of the ordinary event.

City Riots and knife crimes

When you think of the most dangerous cities in the world a few come to mind; Detroit, Rio De Janeiro, Cape Town, Baghdad, Chechnya… Not exactly a list that one would include Adelaide on.

But ask the City Riots where the most dangerous place they’ve ever been is and I bet their hometown of Adelaide will pop up on the list. Why? Well last week City Riot’s front man, Ricky Kradolfer was back in his home town of Adelaide, waiting patiently at the post office to mail some posters for their upcoming September shows, when he was held at knife point by an armed robber!

Thankfully Ricky and the posters came out of the situation unscathed.
Following his brush with death Ricky has dusted himself off, had a stiff drink or two and is preparing, with his fellow City Rioters, for their shows upcoming in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. Catch the death defying City Riots at these venues in September
