THE VERNONS

Don’t miss The Vernons on Game Day TV presented by Virgin Australia this Saturday with the exciting Gold Coast band perform their hit song “Honey” on the 5th Quarter Live Sound Stage.

Fresh from their Big Day Out performances, the Vernons will rock the Sound Stage pre-game, at half time and again after the final siren, introducing those attending Metricon Stadium to their unique sounds which is best described as an eclectic mix of genres and universal influence.

This cosmopolitan four-piece has concocted a potion for popularity and judging from recent successes it's obvious this old school rock feel with new modern ideas is hitting a chord.

Speaking of the 5th Quarter Live Sound Stage, why not get your friends together and spend some time in the 5th Quarter LIVE precinct pre-game. The area is a favourite destination for game day attendees and is perfect spot to enjoy a drink and something to eat before the on field action gets underway.
