Sandstone Point plans big bash for 10th birthday

Sandstone Point Hotel has just announced it is celebrating its 10th Birthday with a huge Oz music celebration on July 26.

Leading the line-up of Australian music legends, and fresh off their sold-out Back to the Stoneage tour, will be Hoodoo Gurus. They’ll be joined by James Reyne, The Angels, Chocolate Starfish, Mi Sex, Spy Vs Spy, The Chantoozies and Matt Finish.

My Ticketmaster, Oztix and Sandstone Point Hotel database pre-sale tickets go on sale at 9am on Tuesday, 25 March until 8am on Thursday, 27 March.

General public tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday, 27 March from Ticketmaster and Oztix.

During the past 10 years, the Sandstone Point Hotel has hosted more than 700,000 music fans across a huge array of concerts.

Some of the artists who have performed, or are confirmed to have graced the lawns, include Bryan Adams, The Beach Boys, Simple Minds, ICEHOUSE, +Live+, Richard Marx, The Smashing Pumpkins, John Farnham, Jane’s Addiction, Joan Jett, Jimmy Barnes, The Corrs, ZZ Top, Incubus, Hunters & Collectors and Gang of Youths.

Hotel owner Rob Comiskey says it’s hard to believe 10 years have passed since they first opened the doors to Sandstone Point Hotel.

“Over the past decade, some of our greatest achievements have been in the live music space, including being named Australia’s Best Entertainment Venue. So, what better way to celebrate our 10th birthday than with a concert?” he says.

“I still remember the nerves surrounding our very first gig—but we didn’t start small. We kicked things off with The Beach Boys and never looked back.

“Now, hosting events is second nature; our team runs like a well-oiled machine, and while it may feel like just another workday, it’s always a little more fun.

“Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming thousands of guests for unforgettable performances by some of the biggest names in music—John Farnham, Simple Minds, Dom Dolla, +Live+, Gang of Youths, and so many more.

“So, of course, we had to go big for our 10th birthday, and who better than the Hoodoo Gurus to bring the party?

“We can’t wait to see what the next 10 years have in store for Sandstone Point Hotel. And trust us—we’ve got a few more surprises up our sleeve."
