looks like melbourne and adelaide people won't have to miss out.
from the website:
" Virgin Mobile’s V Festival announces Mini V!
To paraphrase, Virgin Mobile presents Best of V Festival, giving the Southerners, who may have thought they were missing out on one of the best festival lineups in recent years, a chance to see the likes of the Pixies, Pet Shop Boys, Groove Armada, and Gnarls Barkley. And then some. The action takes place in Melbourne at the Myer Music Bowl, set in the idyllic Kings Domain Gardens, with Memorial Drive the spot for the Adelaide shows. The organizers have very cheekily split the shows over two nights meaning you can take your pick of either show or better yet get to both nights and not miss a beat.
Tickets hit the usual outlets Monday, February 19, and we advise you to get in their early for fear of missing out. Melbourne peeps can book through Ticketmaster 136 100 / www.ticketmaster.com.au / $110 general admission or $130 for reserved seating. Adelaide crew hit VenueTix / (08)8225 8888 / www.venuetix.com.au / $99 for all tickets.
