Monday 20 January 2025 – ARIA nominated and internationally acclaimed electronic music duo, Bag Raiders, will take over Sydney’s Martin place, on Thursday 30 January, with a free gig to celebrate Vodafone doubling its mobile network across the country.
Founded by Chris Stracey and Jack Glass, Bag Raiders are recognised worldwide for their dynamic live performances, having played at renowned music festivals such as Beyond The Valley and Splendour in the Grass. Their festival anthem ‘Shooting Stars’ is a global phenomenon, with over 4 billion online streams.
Fans will have the opportunity to dance to Bag Raiders live as Vodafone switches on its new supercharged network, boosting its coverage to more than 1,000,000 square kilometres across Australia. The network expansion triples the number of the telco’s regional sites across the country and will increase its population coverage to 98.4 per cent, meaning Vodafone will cover more Australians than ever before.
Chris Stracey said: “Having good mobile coverage wherever you are is vital. When we’re touring, we rely so much on our phones to stay connected with friends and family, check up on our itineraries and posting to socials."
With Vodafone supercharging its regional coverage and doubling its network across Australia, the Bag Raiders are calling out for one lucky regional fan to share where in regional Australia they're from by commenting on their Instagram post, for a chance to win an exclusive video call with the dance music legends on a Samsung phone.
“We're excited to be performing all the hits in our hometown to celebrate Vodafone doubling its network,” added Jack Glass.
Vodafone’s mobile network expansion has been made possible through an innovative network sharing arrangement that will deliver improved service quality, coverage and speeds for customers living, working in and visiting regional Australia.
“This doubling of our mobile network across Australia will supercharge our services providing better regional coverage, performance and speed for millions of people where they live, work, and play,” said Kieren Cooney, Vodafone Group Executive, Consumer, Data and Analytics.
“This will be a significant upgrade for the millions of Australians who want great value and great regional mobile coverage where they live or when they travel to the destinations Australians love to visit.”
To celebrate Vodafone’s supercharged mobile network expansion with Bag Raiders, fans, customers and the public are invited to come down to Martin Place in Sydney, on January 30 from 12pm-2pm.
