GUNS N' ROSES' Late Concert Finish Leaves Townsville Residents Fuming
December 2, 2010Townsville, Australia newspaper Townsville Bulletin was inundated with calls and texts earlier today (Thursday, December 2) from residents near the town's Reid Park who were frustrated by the noise and late finish of the GUNS N' ROSES concert.
Hermit Park resident Mike Shearer told the paper he was forced to turn up his television as the band's music dominated his lounge room on Wednesday night.
"It was far too noisy and it went well outside the time it was meant to go," Shearer said.
"If that concert was being held in my neighbor's place, the police would have confiscated the hi-fi set, so why should they get away with it in Reid Park?"
A Townsville City Council spokesman told the Townsville Bulletin before the concert promoters were licensed to continue the show until 10:45 p.m. and council and Liquor Licensing would monitor noise levels.
"GUNS N' ROSES came on late and the concert ran late which is a concern to us and something we will talk to promoters about, as it is not fair for residents on a midweek event," Mayor Les Tyrell said.
"The remainder of the feedback has been positive, with most people generally happy with traffic management, amenities and the state of the venue."
GUNS N' ROSES took to the stage more than an hour late.
