The Australian rock band Silverchair has confirmed they will
be performing in a one-night concert in the AMEX Cup Village
on November 26th.
Silverchair are well known for a number
of hits including Tomorrow and Anthem for the Year 2000.
They have been compared to the late Kurt Cobain's band
Nirvana and band members range in age from their late teens
to early twenties.
PR Manager Sue Foley says." November is
certainly going to be a big month for young New Zealand
music lovers as on November 12th local band The Exponents

well known as Silverchair to follow only two weeks
later.
While the daily entertainment in the AMEX Cup
Village is free these major events will all be ticketed and
vary in price depending on the
artist."
