In a statement Adnrew said, “Within the music industry both here in Australia and overseas, support bands and singer/songwriters play a very important role, both for the audience and for showcasing the talents of the musicians and singers involved.”
“I know how it feels in both places. I have lived this and have performed myself both as a support act and to be encouraging support acts as the main concert headliner. This is gonna be awesome. It’s gonna kick ass.”
