Volume turned down on Robbie Williams
Officials turned down the volume twice at the Robbie Williams concert in Brisbane last night because of the combined noise of the crowd and the music. Some 55,000 people attended last night’s event, with the same number expected tonight for the second Brisbane concert at Lang Park. Local MP and the Sports Minister Andrew Fraser says there were seven noise complaints made to the telephone hotline by local residents. “On two occasions the noise limit did just go over and Robbie was turned down,” he said. “Those were at times when the crowd noise combined with the amplified music noise [which] contributed to it going over. “That happened straightaway and it triggered the monitoring system and the noise was adjusted. All in all the feedback has been very positive from people.”
