If like me you were pretty bummed when tickets for Ben Folds’ Sunset Piazza show sold out quickly, listen up. Ben will head to the Hunter Valley on March 20 for a special intimate Cellar Door Series show at Bimbadgen Estate.
The Cellar Door Series is a day on the green scaled-down for the pandemic. In keeping with the intimate atmosphere, Ben and his support act Gordi will play stripped-back acoustic sets. Guests will bring their own chairs and watch the show in front of the winery’s cellar door. You can still expect great music, chilled vibes, top-shelf booze, and fine food in a picturesque winery setting.
“The Cellar Door Series will ease a day on the green fans back into live music safely without compromising on quality entertainment. The concept will look different – as well as the smaller capacity, the CELLAR DOOR SERIES will start and finish earlier, with the show ending before sunset and only two artists on the bill,” explained Roundhouse Entertainment promoter Michael Newton. “Twenty years and nearly 500 shows since we launched a day on the green, it’s exciting to announce something new that will complement the a day on the green experience. We’re thrilled to be launching the series with honorary Aussie Ben Folds and look forward to announcing more Cellar Door shows around the country soon.”
We can expect more Cellar Door Series shows and venues going forward. Until then, let’s focus on this one. Bimbadgen Club, AAMI Lucky Club, and Ticketmaster members get presale access ahead of the general sale at 1pm on Friday.
