Race Cars and Superstars

Beautiful sunset over the paddock beside the track

At the end of June a big group of us drove up to Kellerberrin to watch the speedway. The drive up was pleasant, we managed to leave work a bit early on the Friday and got in just after nine. We spent the weekend watching races, huddling around the fire, drinking beer and just having a nice time together. We were prepared for it to be freezing in the swag, but it tuned out not to be too bad. I was also pleased to not be camped in a puddle like last time!

Our sweet little set up
The next day the group went to Wave Rock, minus me, (which I had severe FOMO over) whilst I headed in the other direction to Perth. This time I was up for P!nk and I wasn’t missing out on that. I had purchased tickets almost a year ago into GA standing, and seats for the rest of the family. My mate and I ended up getting even better tickets earlier this year into the Wild Heart Zone and this was definitely the place to be! Stage touching/sweat zone area!

Yes, that close!
There was a DJ to get the show going before The Rubens opened. These guys are from country NSW and you’re bound to know a few songs from them. The DJ then kept the crowd pumping while they made the finishing touches on the stage.

The Rubens were pretty sweet

As always P!nk’s performance was spectacular. She opened the show swinging from a giant chandelier singing ‘Get the Party Started.’ She sang a good mix of old and new with some acoustic pieces and some action pieces dangling from rope, or swinging over the crowd. One of my favourites was her encore of ‘Glitter in the air’. I’ve never seen this live and it’s just one of my favourite songs.

I hope she tours again, because I’ll be there!

Stage behind me and stage in front!
