Just 4,000 tickets will be available for the event, which will be available on the Crossing Theatre website on April 12th; members of the Wee Waa Show Society will be guaranteed tickets. If you happen to make it, you'll also be able to check out "typical Australian country show entertainment, including the pet show, dog high jump, showgirl competition, cross cut saw competition, fireworks and much more," per the event site.
The Australian site musicfeeds reports that Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter chose Wee Waa after they found out about "the CSIRO Australia Telescope and its array of satellite dishes."
