#### REMINDER NOTICE – PRE-REGISTER FOR TICKETS NOW AS A VERY MAJOR CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT IS IMMINENT
After the hugely successful inaugural concert at Sandalford Estate Margaret River in March 2011, where pop superstar Michael Buble performed his heart out to a capacity audience of 11,000 adoring fans, we remind of you of our earlier advice that it has been officially confirmed that an annual major music concert will be held at this fantastic new venue during each March Labour Day long weekend.
Australia's premier concert promoter Paul Dainty, said a few months back when in Perth for the Neil Diamond tour, "We obviously can't say who the artist is yet, but the date is carved in stone and I can assure you it will be amazing. The new Sandalford Estate in Margaret River is unquestionably one of the best outdoor concert venues in the world. Save the date in your calendar, and stand by for a major announcement soon".
Dainty who is responsible for bringing acts like the Rolling Stones, George Michael, Britney Spears and Michael Buble will be promoting the annual Sandalford Estate Margaret River event and is promising to deliver a concert experience that is second to none.
Sandalford CEO Grant Brinklow echoed Dainty's comments adding, "It makes total sense to have an annual concert during the Labour Day long weekend. People can take their time, enjoy the whole weekend in the region and what better way to spend an evening than to experience a world class artist live in concert".
Perth based promoter John Zaccaria said the inaugural concert was not without its challenges, given the massive infrastructure, staging and production required, but added "The end result is worth it. This venue is major coup for the WA public and for the artists that will play here."
The new concert venue, owned by the Prendiville family, is the sister property to the Sandalford Estate Swan Valley which has staged numerous concerts over the years, and is nestled in amongst bushland in the Wilyabrup sub region of Margaret River, spectacularly overlooking a lake and one of the most famed wine growing areas of Australia. |

The 2010-11 Sandalford Concert Series was the most successful and certainly popular yet with well in excess of 100,000 guests being entertained at Sandalford Estate Swan Valley and Margaret River by the likes of world class acts including Simply Red, Marcia Hines, Robin Gibb, Bonnie Tyler, Crowded House, Sting with the full Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Michael Buble, Naturally 7, Santana and John Butler.
We are now putting the final touches to the program for this coming season and promise a series that will be even bigger and much better again with up to sixteen concerts planned for our two concert venues. K.D. Lang (Nov 5, 2011 – Swan Valley) and Cold Chisel (Nov 26, 2011 – Margaret River) have already been announced to much fanfare and applause, and we now expect to be announcing very soon all details of an another spectacular concert at Sandalford Estate, Margaret River over the Labour Day long weekend in March 2012.
