    Nyt on niin sanotusti tosi kyseessä. Olemme kilpailussa, jossa 10 eniten ääniä / uusia faneja kerännyttä bändiä esitellään Jon Bon Joville, joka henkilökohtaisest valitsee niistä lämppärin Helsingin keikalleen.

    Tällä hetkellä olemme kymmenen joukossa, mutta ääniä tarvittaisiin lisää.

    Äänestämiseen menee 1-2 minuuttia, emme pyydä siis kuuta taivaalta. Mikäli epäröit rekisteröityä Hitlantikseen omalla sähköpostiosoitteellasi, käytä jotakin toissijaista osoitetta tai luo sellainen (hotmail, yahoo, mail, com, mikä vain)

    Radio Nova arpoo kaikkien kilpailussa äänestäneiden kesken lippuja Bon Jovin konserttiin.

    Mikäli me voitamme ja päädymme Bon Jovin lämppäriksi, arvomme meitä äänestäneiden kesken 2 kpl lippuja Foo Fightersin Helsingin konserttiin!.

    Ohjeet linkissä.

    Kiitokset etukäteen!
    Ember's Flame
