2 August 2009 - The Rock FM : Legal Tender Tour
Eighteen years is a long time to be causing mayhem. So, what better way for The Rock to celebrate their 18th birthday than to get Australasia's four hardest rockin bands: Shihad, The Living End, Airbourne and Luger Boa together to help them cut loose on the LEGAL TENDER tour?
The Rock Programme Director Brad King says with such a massive line-up, things are likely to get out of hand.
"We can't think of a better way to celebrate our 18th birthday than cutting loose with four of the greatest rock acts in Australasia," he says.
"Very rarely do you get to see the likes of Shihad, The Living End, Airbourne and Luger Boa on one very large, very loud bill, but with The Rock's Legal Tender Tour, that's exactly what's about to go down. It's huge!"
From October 1 to October 11, join the crowd for two of New Zealand's finest and two of Australia's playing in seven sonic destruction test matches across the country. F**k the Bledisloe - this is rock 'n' roll!
The Rock radio station was established in Hamilton in 1991 by Nevada Enterprises. In 1999 The Rock relocates to Auckland, gets stuck in traffic, but still manages to broadcast in 20 markets from Northland to Southland. 2007 sees The Rock's ratings soar and the station beats chatterbox Newstalk ZB to become the Number 1 Radio station in New Zealand. Fast forward to 2009 and The Rock is now the Number 1 Music Station nationwide and Morning Rumble the Number 1 Music Breakfast Show nationwide. This tour is about The Rock's coming-of-age, hence Legal Tender.
