Paul Kitching – aka PK – from Fuller Brand Communication has been out and about enough over his 50+ years to still have his finger on the pulse for the best things to see, do and enjoy in our excellent state. Whilst we all know life starts at 50, we also know what we like right?! And yes, we are choosy about how we dedicate our precious spare time. With lots on offer, PK reckons these gems are all worthy…

The Flaming Lips
Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Thu Jan 30
The 2004 Big Day Out for me was all about discovering US psychedelic rockers The Flaming Lips. They were out of this world! Formed in Oklahoma City in 1983, The Flaming Lips have since become one of the most iconic, influential, unpredictable, and vital forces in alternative rock music. The multi award-winning alt icons will perform their 2002 seminal record ‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots’ in full plus cult classics from their stellar discography. It’s no surprise UK’s Q Magazine names The Flaming Lips one of the “50 Bands to See Before You Die.” Make sure you do!
