It's kind of a big deal.. Nova is FIVE.. so we’re having an Open Day and massive street party.
This Saturday we open the station doors at 130 Commercial Road, Teneriffe from 9am till 3pm so (for a gold coin donation) you can see where Meshel, Tim and Marty make their laughs, where the sales guys make their money and where the plebs who work here make their coffees.
PLUS from midday till 8pm we’re having a street party to end all street parties (or at least make the other ones really jealous!)
AND.. best of all.. it’s all free.
Nova’s Tim and Marty will be here to say ‘G’day’.. you can get up close and personal with Ryan, Monty and Wippa.. plus meet the Brisbane Broncos and chuck on a set of headphones for the Silent Disco (3-8pm in the Nova carpark) . Booyah!
Check out the markets, grab something to eat or drink (it’s a licensed all-ages event) and enjoy the free music we’ve got lined up.

He’s the guy with the pout who won the last Australian Idol. Stan the Man was the favourite almost from the start. Since the show he’s had hits with “Black Box” and “Unbroken”. Teenage girls go wild! ps. Walker's new album is out next month.

Amy Meredith
Who’s Amy Meredith? Well – she’s not a chick, let’s start there. Amy Meredith is the band who gave us the hits “Pornstar” and “Lying” and has toured with Good Charlotte, Owl City and Evermore.
7.10 - 8pm
Bluejuice
The Sydney rockers who gave us “Broken Leg” and “Ain’t Telling the Truth” will show off their mix of pop, rock, hip hop, electro and disco and aim to do what they do best – make you dance in a ‘retarded, unselfconscious way’. (That’s a quote from their Myspace page.)
Florence Street, Teneriffe stage:
12 - 12.30pm
Vasy Mollo
High school band Vasy Mollo got a taste of the rock star life after winning the chance to open for Evermore in Nova’s Live and Loud concert. Here’s one school of kids who know how to rock.

Grant Smillie
He’s one half of dance act TV Rock (go on and ‘flaunt it’) and a kick arse DJ and producer. Make sure you’re wearing sensible shoes coz your feet won’t stop when Smillie drops his beats!
The easiest way to get to the action will be by public transport. Get all the useful info on buses, trains and ferries here.
Nova's Open Day is an historic event and we're stoked to have the Pushworth Group helping us create it.
