Update 22 March: Weekend, Sunday and VIP tickets have now sold out, and Saturday going fast!

Update 14 March: Dave Mathews Band have cancelled!!! :( Thanks Papertrail for pointing this out. Xavier Rudd joins the line-up on Saturday.

The 4th annual West Coast Blues n Roots Festival is happening on 31 March and 1 April 2007 at the Esplanade in Fremantle.
Yes, it is now spread across two days, which I can understand given the huge line-up!

Saturday:
John Butler Trio, Wolfmother, The Cat Empire, Xavier Rudd, Gomez, Lee Scratch Perry, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, Tony Joe White, Eric Burdon and The Animals, Bob Evans, The Pigram Brothers, Blue King Brown, The Vasco Era, Diafrix, The Bamboos, The Fumes, Andrew Winton, Blue Shaddy and Fall Electric.

Sunday:
Ben Harper, John Mayer, Missy Higgins, The Waifs, Bo Diddley, Larry Carlton Blues Project, Eugene Hideaway Bridges’, Kaki King, Angus & Julia Stone, Terrance Simien, Piers Faccini, Amos Lee, Carus & The True Believers, Ben Kweller, Custom Kings, Dom Mariani & The Majestic Kelp, Will Conner and Kill Devils Hills.

I can’t wait! And I want to go both days, so that’ll be $170!!! A ticket for one day is $105. It will also mean travelling back and forth to Fremantle on two days, but I guess it will be worth it!
Tickets are on sale from the Sunset Events website and Ticketek. If you book via Sunset Events there is no booking fee.

This is an 18+ event (photo id needed for entry), but under 18’s are permitted if they are accompanied by a parent at all times.

If you’re looking for info about the EAST Coast Blues n Roots festival Bluesfest, which has a similar line-up to the west coast one, see the official website here.
