HyperFest Unveils 2015 Line-Up

All-ages West Australian event HyperFest is getting the ball rolling in preparation for its 2015 shindig at Perth's Midland Oval, revealing today a stellar line-up of stage-rockin' acts led by hip-hop luminary Illy.

The celebrated rapper had a mammoth 2014, spending much of it on the road in support of recent full-length Cinematic — favourites from which Perth fans can expect to see when he graces the festival stage on Sunday 29 March: On & On, Tightrope, It Can Wait, Youngbloods and, of course, One For The City.

Joining the Cinematic scribe aboard the roster for the event will be 2014 triple j Unearthed High winner Japanese Wallpaper, riotous psych punks The Bennies, enigmatic up-and-comer Ecca Vandal, the ever-entertaining Super Best Friends and a local contingent featuring high-profile home-grown prospects such as Coin Banks, Slumberjack and Make Them Suffer, as well as several others.

"This year more than 100 local bands applied to secure a spot on the HyperFest line-up, with bands from all over Australia applying to play at the gig," Midland/Guildford Ward councillor Mark Elliott said in a statement. "We're thrilled with the depth of talent available in the region and proud to be able to offer the performance exposure of HyperFest to these aspiring bands."

HyperFest is an all-ages, totally drug-, smoke- and alcohol-free event. Check out the full list of signed-on acts below, then bookmark our HyperFest event page to stay on top of all the latest about the festival as it comes to light.
