Tracey from The Rock FM, a radio station in New Zealand today had a chat with Adam about the upcoming Big Day Out tour in 2011. He also touches on the song writing process, and from what he says it sounds like things are going well. Thanks to Logan for the tip.
Well the pre-sales happened earlier today. Brisbane went about as smoothly as you’d hope. Tickets may even still be available if you haven’t got them already.
