Up! Festival - 14 Sept 07 - CANCELLED

Up! Festival has been cancelled! Michael Franti should be back in the country in 2008. Ben Lee solo shows will be announced soon.

The Up! Festival is coming! It’s a new music, art and media festival that has been founded by Spearhead front-man Michael Franti.

~~In Perth, the festival is happening on 14 September 2007 at Challenge Stadium. The line-up includes Michael Franti and Spearhead, Ben Lee, Blue King Brown and Old Man River.~~

It will be an all ages show, and tickets go on sale from Ticketmaster on 31 July.

“I want to encourage people to have their voices heard and get used to that. One way of giving back to the community is allowing everyone to record, videotape, upload, download, blog any way they can and share it. All cameras, phones, audio recorders are legal! Everything’s legal at the Up! Festival,” Michael Franti explains.

The festival will partner up with environmental groups to recycle, offset energy used with carbon neutralizing and wind farms.
