Gibson Guitar’s presence at the event included an exclusive backstage artist area with a complete range of both Gibson and Epiphone guitar models where performing artists were encouraged to drop by and sample a selection of the Gibson guitars on offer.
Additionally Gibson Guitar also partnered with APRA (Australian Performing Rights Association) on a number of on-ground initiatives and provided the major prize for Rhythms Magazine’s on-site campaign.
