18 August 2008 - 0 Comments
Thousands of spectators flooded in from around the country to witness one of the biggest free music festivals to ever visit Christchurch at the third annual MTV Snow Jam.
Steam rose from the crowd at Terrace Downs, near Mt Hutt as artists from across the country and around the world took to the stage. US hip hop star Lil Jon and Aussie rockers The Vines headlined the free event that also featured performances by Donavon Frankenreiter, The Grates, The Potbelleez, Cut Off Your Hands, P-Money, PNC, David Dallas, Opshop, Trouble Andrew and Phinesse.
As night fell over the field at Terrace Downs, state of the art pyrotechnics lit up the sky as performers belted their songs to the crowd of screaming fans. An extra big bang lit up the sky to farewell the crowd and mark the end of the truly one of a kind music event.
MTV Snow Jam not only sparked the attention of locals, but also a few famous faces that flew into Christchurch as VIP guests including David Fane, Noelle McCarthy, ‘That Guy’ Leigh Hart and Home and Away heart-throb turned rocker Mark Furze. Reuniting for the first time since the MTV Australia Awards were New Zealand MTV VJ’s, Jay Reeve and Amber Peebles and MTV Australia’s VJ’S, Ruby Rose and Darren McMullen. The VJ’s partied with the crowd in between filming links and behind the scenes footage for the MTV Snow Jam Special.
The VJ team was joined by a crew of party pals including U.S based Aussie snowboarder and all-round ‘wild guy’ The Dingo and Norwegian snowboarder Mikkel Bang. The boys took to the slopes before joining the festival as a VIP guests alongside Bro Town/Outrageous Fortune’s, David Fane.
