Southbound 2016 - Stagebound is here
Each year, thanks to the Stagebound initiative, one lucky local West Australian act wins the chance to join massive international headliners on the Southbound line up. In 2016, they are adding an extra slot, so this opportunity is opening up for two bands!
How do bands get this opportunity you ask?
Southbound have enlisted the help of our local media friends who have put forward acts they feel have been causing a stir in The West over the past 12 months. All through the month of November, they will shine a light on their chosen artists, highlighting the very reason they feel they deserve a spot on the Southbound 2016 line up along side amazing acts like Bloc Party, Disclosure, Courtney Barnett, The Wombats, Foals and many many more!
Important Dates:
November 2nd - Stagebound voting opens
November 30th - Stagebound voting closes
December 4th - Stagebound winner announced
Meet the Class of 2016...
