And there will be more acts announced in October!
The Southbound festival in Busselton will be held on 6 January 2007, and is a weekend of music, camping and arts, often described as a ‘european’ style festival (though the main acts still all play over one day). 2007 will be the third year for this annual festival.
This year you can camp on two nights, Friday 5 and Saturday 6 January 06. There will be acoustic performances on the Friday night, and busses going into Busselton on Friday night and Saturday morning. These tickets are $139 if you book an e-ticket through the website. Camping is only for over 18’s.
You can also buy a ticket just for the Saturday. These are $89 if you book through the website.
Tickets can also be bought through Ticketek, and various retail outlets but will incur a booking fee.
For all the other types of tickets, info on the busses that will go from Perth, Bunbury, Yallingup, Margaret River and Busslton and lots more info, see the Sunset Events website.
