Former triple j breakfast host Alex Dyson has been living the good life since leaving triple j last year, with an extended stay in Europe being one of the most prominent highlights. Having learnt nothing from the amount of sleep he lost when he and Matt Okine took their ‘5 Raves in 5 Days’ around the country last year, Dyson is getting ready to embark upon his next adventure; 5 music festivals in 5 days. Except this time, he wants you and a mate to join him.

Alex Dyson and Optus are giving the chance for one lucky winner and their friend to embark upon the music trip of a lifetime with a paid trip to Europe to attend 5 festivals in 5 countries in 5 days. That’s right, in the space of just 120 hours, you’ll be able to live the music-lover’s dream.

“I can’t wait to pack my glow sticks and echinacea tablets and show some lucky Aussies that when it comes to live music, too much of a good thing is…. well, I don’t know yet, no one’s ever done this before – it’s pretty crazy.” said Alex.

If you reckon you’ve got the stamina to endure this concert-going marathon, all you have to do is head to Optus’ website and answer the simple question:  “What’s the most extreme thing you’ve done for music?”

If you don’t think you’ve got what it takes, that’s fine too, because Alex Dyson has picked out the perfect festival playlist for you, filled with plenty of festival bangers – new and old. If you’re just a homebody who likes listening to tunes on your headphones, this is for you. Otherwise, head to Optus’ website and enter the comp to get a head start on the music-lover’s dream festival experience.
