Read here about the concert boom Australia is experiencing.
"Australia is experiencing a concert boom, with music fans young and old snapping up tickets to both nostalgia acts and buzz bands."
"This week 18,000 fans were gripped by Arctic Monkey fever, the Strokes play on Sunday at Festival Hall, and the UK's latest sensation, Lily Allen, hits town next week for a small club show.
Billy Joel broke the record for tickets sold at Sydney's Acer Arena (formerly Sydney Super Dome), with 17,000 tickets being snapped in in five hours for his November tour."
By Patrick Donovan , The Melbourne Age.
