It’s that time of year again boys and girls; the birds start to chirp a little louder, the flowers start to spread their petals in all shapes, sizes and colours and The Domain gets it’s lawns ready for one of it’s favourite days of the year. Saturday, December 6th is Homebake 2008. The theme for this year is ‘Peace in the Park’.
The famous Aussie festival has teamed up with Amnesty International for their 60th Anniversary of Universal Human Rights, the press release from Homebake reads, “Albeit that we are stating the obvious, this year's spectacular Homebake will focus on an apolitical theme of peace & freedom from conflict without the need for protest – ie; a theme based on a universal attitude of change and with a social slant towards an overall era of wanting (& accepting) of peace & unity.” Basically passing on the message that as human beings we are all born equally. We all have the same rights and freedom advantages as the next person. Or at least we should. Sounds like a pretty fair statement to me and one that we should all support. I also like that Homebake as a brand is doing something good with its popularity. They’re binding us together as one and celebrating our sister and brotherhood to each and every person in this world.
The headlining acts this year are Crowded House, Sneaky Sound System, The Vines, Cut Copy and many more which will no doubt all have something to say about this issue. Homebake is always a great day out showcasing some of the greatest acts our country has to offer. So if you want to get in on the action then head straight to HOMEBAKE.com.au Tickets are $87.50 + booking fee from the site and if you head to Ticketek, FasterLouder & InTheMix you’ll find some there too. If you're not into the whole buying-tickets-online-thing you can also visit one of these supporting outlets to purchase yours; Redeye Records (King Street Sydney City), Mall Music (Warringah Mall), Redback Music Co (Wollongong), Landspeed (Canberra), Rockinghorse Records (Brisbane), BeatDisc (Parramatta). Tickets are available from 9am, Monday August 18th. Oh yeah, and you gotta be over 18 to attend.
Peace Out,
Girl Next Door xoxo
