Somebody Told Me that 18,000 Killers fans had a #killer night in Townsville recently! 🎸 We’re still coming down from the electric concert from The Killers and JET, complete with lasers, ticker tape cannons and the entire stadium singing and dancing along. It was hot, but the performance was hotter! 🔥 Queensland Country Bank Stadium General Manager Cameron Jones said it was certainly one to remember. “An incredible event at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Saturday 30 November, with the stadium erupting in an explosion of rock and roll, thanks to The Killers and JET. “They had fans dancing in their seats to Mr Brightside and belting out the chorus to Somebody Told Me, no doubt some fantastic memories created. “North Queensland has showed what we’re capable of, and with around 22% of fans coming from outside the region, including 12% from interstate or overseas, it’s clear we’re becoming a destination for big events, and I hope it’s a sign of more to come." Thanks to all our event partners in bringing this incredible event to life!

🏆 • A W A R D  • W I N N I N G • 🏆 We were thrilled to take home silver in the Major Festivals & Events category at the Queensland Tourism Industry Council's Queensland Tourism Awards 2024 on Friday night! The #QueenslandTourismAwards are the pinnacle of excellence in Queensland’s tourism industry, celebrating exceptional industry accomplishments and honouring the top individuals, businesses, and events across Queensland. The accolade recognises our team's contribution to North Queensland's tourism and events landscape, after hosting two sold-out concerts for global music icon P!NK in March this year, drawing thousands of visitors to the region and putting Townsville on the map as a premier destination for tourists and international acts alike. The P!NK concerts saw more than 60,000 visitors, including around 20,000 from out of town, descend on the city of Townsville to enjoyed a unique, carnival-like atmosphere. Being recognised at these awards is a testament to the positive and memorable experiences our team at Queensland Country Bank Stadium strive to offer each and every time we host an event, and the importance of the stadium’s role in the Townsville community, bringing visitors and boosting tourism in the region. Thanks to our incredible event partners in helping us to deliver these concerts; Tourism and Events Queensland, Townsville Enterprise (TEL), Townsville City Council, Ticketmaster, Live Nation Entertainment… and of course P!NK! 💕 #tourism #award #QueenslandCountryBankStadium #NorthQueensland #MajorEvent #concert #music #TourismAwards #Townsville
