Living End and Cat Empire Join Perth Festival

The Living End and The Cat Empire have been added to the line-up of Perth's upcoming North West Festival, a new event for 2012 that the organisers plan to be annual.

They'll join the already announced headliners, Hilltop Hoods.

The one-day festival will happen at the Port Hedland Turf Club Saturday 18 August, with camping facilities included in the event's ticket price. Run by Sunset events, they advise that given the tight accommodation options in the town, a small tent or swag is probably the best option if you're coming in from out of town.

Tickets are $129 plus booking fee, and VIP tickets (shaded bar, stage views, hot dinner, four complimentary drinks) are $295 plus booking fee.

They'll go on sale 9am Friday 25 May.
