First there was the star studded Nominations Launch and now Jack Daniel's™ are pleased to announce that a date and venue have been locked down and the count down begins to the 4th annual Jack Awards!
The 2007 Jack Awards will be held on the 15th May and will see the winners announced in Australia's only Live Music Awards as part of Jack Daniel's ™ ongoing support of Australian live music.
Once again Jack Daniel's™ will convert a non-traditional rock venue into an explosion of sound filled with the cream of Australian musicians and celebrities. As always, The Jack Awards have a new venue and this year the ceremony will be held at the Big Top in Sydney's Luna Park. The Big Top is another unique Sydney venue, which allows The Jack Daniel's™ crew to change how the show looks and feels beyond just a change of set design. Luna Park is a historic Sydney venue and the Jack Awards crew are excited to take over the theme park for the night and have all the stars come out and play!
2007 will see the Jack Awards expand and invite the public to attend the Awards ceremony. A limited release of tickets will be sold online at www.thejackawards.com <http://www.thejackawards.com> - stay tuned for release date.
