The One Night Stand is ready to roll, all set to change the lives of everyone in your town! We’re on stand by along with Cog and Pnau, itching to hit the road. Saturday 26th April is etched in our diaries.

Collie get to host a massive concert. 3 top bands, an enormous stage, brilliant sound and lighting. It all comes together live across the country on triple j, and filmed by triple j tv.

Situated 200km south of Perth, Collie lies in a valley formed by the Darling Ranges and is abundant with natural attractions. All this greenery makes this area a great setting for bush walking, swimming, fishing and now…music!

TRIPLE J IS UNEARTHING COLLIE:
If you’re from Collie or the surrounding area here’s your chance to perform at the biggest gig of your life. triplejunearthed.com is looking for a local band to open the show. That means you’ll get to share the stage with us (and Cog and Pnau). More details »

WHAT TO EXPECT:
triple j will be investigating all the big issues while we’re in town leading up to the concert… Collie doesn’t just pack a mean punch on the sporting field, they supply a big chunk of WA’s electricity. It’s proximity to the coast and Perth gives young people plenty of options for good times. But being within an hour of bigger towns can also suck this beaut’ little town dry and flood its coal mines with workers from out of town. You’ll find out more with Tom Tilley and Ronan Sharkey bringing you stories from the trip, through an online blog, stories on Hack radio and triple j tv.

THE WINNING ENTRY:
Collie’s entry was one of the most impressive entries the judges have ever seen. It was incredibly well laid out with all of the key elements - council and community support, venue viablity, the petition, risk assessment - easy to assess. The mini-doco was a lot of fun too. It was easy to see how excited the town is about the One Night Stand rolling in. This was the 3rd year the town has entered and each year their entry just got better and better.

To view Collie’s winning video entry go to the One Night Stand webpage.

This morning we were up bright and early to perform This Heart Attack live on Sunrise with Kochie & Mel.
