Groove Guide Signs on for the Big Day
Out Signing Tent
Big Day Out is pleased to announce the return of the Signing Tent to the January 21 event, with Groove Guide as the new sponsor.
“The signing tent is one of the institutions we are most proud of at the Big Day Out,” says promoter Campbell Smith. “It’s amazing at an event with almost 50,000 music fans in attendance that there’s an opportunity for many of them to get this close to a selection of the artists at the show.”
Past highlights at the Signing Tent include big names at the festival like Slipknot causing havoc with huge queues around the Green and Essential stages where the Signing Tent is located.
New sponsor Groove Guide will be printing a special issue for the Big Day Out to announce the Signing Tent line-up.
“Curly Watts from Coronation Street once autographed a napkin for me,” continued Big Day Out promoter Campbell Smith. “It had tomato sauce on it from a meat pie. You won’t get that with your Groove Guide though.”
