MELBOURNE - Sensational Sensation!

Norwest provided audio for the largest dance party Australia has ever seen. To bring in 2009, Sensation visited Australia for the first time. Melbourne's Telstra Dome was the venue and patrons had to dress entirely in white to be guaranteed entry to the event. One hundred and twelve Adamson's were used for the main PA (the largest Adamson rig ever hung in the Southern hemisphere) with L-Acoustics Kudo being used for delays.

NORWEST OCEANIA

Kylie completed her “Kylie X” world tour in Australasia in December 2008. It was only fitting that the arduous tour which started in Paris on May 6 (and played to over half a million fans) would finally come to a close at Rod Laver Arena in front of Kylie’s home crowd. Norwest Oceania provided a substantial Meyer Sound speaker system for the New Zealand and Australian run of the tour. The Australasian leg of the tour started with two shows in Auckland’s Vector Arena and then flew across the ditch to Sydney where there were three great shows at Acer. The final three shows were completed at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena.
