It’s a
Supercharged, Supercars party with two nights of sensational entertainment
announced for the RACE & ROCK concerts at Hidden Valley.
Australia’s
biggest Hip Hop success Hilltop Hoods will ignite the stage on Saturday night,
joined by Melbourne rapper ILLY.
With
multi-platinum albums, and 7 ARIA awards, the announcement comes after Hilltop
Hoods electrifying performance at the Clipsal 500 on the weekend.
NT Major
Events General Manager Andrew Hopper said the entertainment would add an
exciting element to an action-packed weekend.
“I am very pleased to announce Hilltop Hoods will be headlining the Saturday
night concert,” Mr Hopper said.
“The Supercars weekend generates great exposure for the Northern Territory as a
tourism destination and provides a boost to the local economy through business
and hospitality.
“Fans will certainly be in for a 20th birthday treat on what is one
of the biggest weekends on the Territory sports calendar.”
Regarded as one of Australia’s hardest working bands, Hilltop Hoods will
perform hands in the air favourites from their swag of platinum hits after a
day of racing and entertainment at Hidden Valley.
“I would
like to congratulate Hilltop Hoods for taking the number 4 spot with 1955 in
triple j’s Hottest 100 and ILLY with the number 7 spot for Papercuts,” Mr
Hopper said.
Sunday’s
entertainment will see ARIA Hall of Fame legend Russell Morris and the world’s
first travelling dance party Hot Dub Time Machine continue the party well into
the night. Playing songs in strict order from 1954 – 2015, Hot Dub Time Machine
is all about singing, dancing and having a great time.
Sunday party
revellers are encouraged to dress the part and wear their best retro gear to
the track.
Although no
strangers to Darwin, this will be the first time any of the weekend’s
entertainment have performed at Hidden Valley.
“We look forward to seeing both old and new faces for the
20th year party. Whether you
have been to one or all twenty Hidden Valley rounds, everyone is invited to the
biggest party in Darwin this June,” Mr Hopper said.
All
tickets are now on sale with 3 Day Hot Passes just $90.00 giving racing fans 3
action-packed days of entertainment on and off the track and 2 nights of
concerts.
