With less than a week to go until Western Australia’s biggest ever four days of music kicks off, the organisers of WAMFest 2016 have now unveiled their full program, which features some 159 acts playing across 26 venues, with 35 shows, and loads more.
Of course, the annual WAMAwards will be a big part of the upcoming festivities. The winners will be revealed Thursday, 3rd November and this year’s Hall of Fame inductees have now been unveiled as the legendary Rick Steele and The Triffids.
Meanwhile, with more than 80 acts, including Stillwater Giants, Sugar Army, Verge Collection, Whisky Au Go Go, Hussy, Belgrade, and more, taking over some 11 venues, the return of the Saturday Spectacular is not to be missed.
In an Australian Festival first, WAMFest will be partnering with Parlour, Australia’s premier organisers of home gigs, to let you create your own WAMFest adventure by registering as the host or act of your very own WAMFest gig.
Western Australia’s favourite music photography competition, Kiss My Camera, will make its return too, with the finalists now announced. The comp will showcase selected music photographs, both live and press shots, from both WA amateur and professional photographers, with $11k+ worth of prizes up for grabs.
Oh, and don’t forget about WAMFest’s Friday Showcases, a series of live music showcases presented in conjunction with WA’s best promoters, organisations and venues. This year will feature some 13 events set to take over the city from Freo to Basso.
