Perth Music

After unleashing one of the weightiest bills Western Australia has ever seen, Sunset Events is proud to announce another round of superb acts to complete the line-up for the third annual Southbound Festival.And first up, all the way from the UK, we have the one and only…Basement Jaxx. Energised from the recent release of the duo’s fourth studio album, Crazy Itch Radio, Basement Jaxx will bring their intoxicating beats and rhythms to Southbound for one very special performance, backed by a full live band.

After a number one album and a notorious national tour, the Hilltop Hoods seem like they can’t get any bigger – then they go and collect five ARIA nominations. Witness Aussie hip hop at its finest when the Hoods come to Southbound.

Also being served up at the third annual Southbound Festival are: Melbourne rockers The Vasco Era, Perth’s own psychedelic collective The Panda Band, roots newcomer Dallas Frasca and junior giants The Flairz. Throw in some electro goodness from DJs Fdel, Armee and Charlie Bucket and you’ve got one of the biggest days of entertainment to come to WA.

These fine ambassadors of song join the Southbound ranks alongside world conquering rock crusaders Wolfmother, WA’s very own John Butler Trio, the enigmatic Michael Franti & Spearhead, mighty indie heroes Modest Mouse and pop’s dark princes Eskimo Joe. Plus The Bees, Scribe, Youth Group, The Sleepy Jackson, Matt Costa, Jamie Lidell, You Am I, Saul Williams, Little Birdy, The Black Seeds, The Exploders, The Audreys, Blue King Brown, Josh Pyke, The Presets and Infusion.

So many seminal names, so many superlative sounds, all on three stages on Saturday, January 6, at Sir Stewart Bovell Park, Busselton.
