The Blue Man Group / How To Be A MegaStar Tour 2.0

Pre-Sale Details
Start: November 14 @ 10 am
End: January 5 @ 11:59 pm


Forget labels. You can't compare the Blue Man Group show to any other attraction around. It's a rock concert, heavy on percussion. A display of magic and illusion. A critique of modern technology and information overload. Put those together, mix with some cobalt blue paint and you've got some idea of what you're going to see.

With their How To Be A Megastar Tour 2.0, the trio send-up and embrace the rules, rituals and raw excitement of that most primal of group experiences: the arena rock concert.

After downloading a tongue and cheek "how-to-manual" broadcast for the audience, Blue Man Group is joined by an eight piece band and takes us through step-by-step and song-by-song, every head-bobbing, fist-pumping moment of a real concert. The result - a uniquely clever interactive show that, regardless of musical tastes, delivers hypnotic entertainment for all ages!

Wanderful Australia

One must visit Australia at least once for its beautiful beaches and ocean wildlife. Surfing and swimming with the ocean wildlife is an amazing experience. The Great Barrier Reef creates the best waves in the world for surfing. The most famous building of Australia is the Sydney Opera House. There are some good places in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Sydney : Australia's oldest and premier settlement is Sydney, the economic hub of the nation and the country's capital in everything but name. Built on the shores of the beautiful Port Jackson, you would have to die and go to heaven before you see a more spectacular setting for a city. It's a important and self-regarding metropolis, having both a devil-may-care urbanity and a slavish obsession with global fads. The Olympic Games, held in Sydney in 2000, confirmed the city's reputation as a civilised, fun-loving and friendly place to be.

Melbourne : Australia's second city is a place of contradictions and hidden charms. A leafy, bayside community on the 'upside-down', brown Yarra River, it is cosmopolitan yet suburban, cultivated yet football crazy, conservative yet a haven for the avant-garde. Visitors come for its shopping, restaurants, nightlife and sporting calendar, encouraging many Melburnians to believe that they live in one of the most civilised cities in the world.

Brisbane : Brisbane is Australia's third largest city and the state capital of Queensland. Not so long ago, the rest of Australia considered it little more than an overgrown country town, but it has shirked off this unwelcome reputation to become one of the country's most progressive centres. Since playing host to a string of major international events in the 80s, including the 1982 Commonwealth Games and Expo 88, Brisbane has developed into a lively, cosmopolitan city with several interesting districts, a good street cafe scene, a great riverside park, a busy cultural calendar and decent nightlife.

You can arrange your bookings with some of Australia's leading travel and tourism providers without ever leaving the site. For booking your Travel Online you can visit this site.
