    Just finished up my edit from the Smashing Pumpkins gig in Adelaide. I covered it for my usual entertainment client, WireImage.

    A good night, albeit challenging with very minimal lighting. I was lucky to see/watch/hear the band play a couple of classics, Tonight, Tonight from Mellon Collie, and Today from Siamese Dream, before I had to slip away and get my pix online.

    Enough from me, I'll let my pix do the talking.

    A few days have passed since 34,000 rocked up to the showgrounds to watch a few headline acts play at the big day out, and already we're looking forward to the V Festival in March/April.

    Well, those fortunate enough to be living in Queensland, NSW, Vic and WA are, in Adelaide, the festival caravan isn't stopping.

    Normally that would be the death-knock of opportunity for South Australians to see these bands, but I just received a job request to cover the three headliners - Smashing Pumpkins, Queens of the Stone Age, and Duran Duran. Appearing over two nights at the Entertainment Centre in April.

    Tickets to the V Festival are around $130, so it will be interesting to see next week how much we'll have to cough up to see them play solo shows.

  • About

    Photographer, traveller, journalist, blogger and editor.

    After working as a press photographer in Adelaide, Australia for seven years I packed my things up and travelled around Asia and Europe for six months. After the money ran out I relocated to London, where I became an editor for Getty Images. A couple of years later I've moved to Sydney. It's a beautiful spot, and though Paris is no longer just a couple of hours away it is home for now!
