Southbound Festival Reveals 2015 Artists

West Australian festival Southbound has already announced major changes to its camping set-up for next year, so the consequent impressiveness of today’s revelation of the artist roster for 2015 should come as no surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention to the moves this event has been making lately.

A breathtaking ream of Aussie excellence forms the brickwork for 2015, with Alison Wonderland, Bluejuice, DMA’s, Jagwar Ma, John Butler Trio, Kim Churchill, The Kite String Tangle, Movement, The Presets, Remi, Safia, Spiderbait, Sticky Fingers, The Temper Trap, Tkay Maidza and Vance Joy (phew!) all stepping up to the plate to bring the home-grown harmonics to the Southbound faithful.

Backing that crew up, though, is a just-as-esteemed roster of international artists, topped by stalwart UK indie outfit Alt-J, US flower-punkers The Black Lips, fellow Statesmen Cold War Kids, blooming Brit artist George Ezra, the resilient Glass Animals, German duo Milky Chance, NYC rappers Run The Jewels, the infamous Salt N Pepa, British mastermind SBTRKT, the deliciously skeezy Todd Terje, electronic whiz-kid Tycho, and UK darlings Wolf Alice.

The festival has previously hosted acts such as Chet Faker, Gossling, !!!, Grizzly Bear, Asta, Johnny Marr, London Grammar, Violent Soho and Big Scary, among several others, and if you take the time to check out this quick recap vid of 2014’s proceedings, you’ll get a pretty good idea as to the kind of good-time party vibes that punters are in for once more in 2015.

There’s another announcement of acts still in the works, so Southbound’s not done with you yet, but if the names above have been enough to get your brain thinking impatiently of summer already, you might like to know that you’ll be able to grab your tickets for the 2015 event – held January 3-4 at Sir Stewart Bovell Park, Busselton – from 9am WST next Tuesday, August 26, via Moshtix.
