Southbound 2016 Add The Wombats To Bill

Staff Writer

Getting bigger by the day

More The Wombats The Wombats Profile

If you thought Southbound 2016 were done adding acts to their already insane bill, you were so wrong. Saving this up their collective sleeves, the Busselton festival has announced that joining Foals, Disclosure, Bloc Party and more next January are English indie rockers The Wombats.

The Wombats are no strangers to our shores, recently touring Australia for Splendour In The Grass as well as jetting over for a brief promo stint in February, but it's obvious Australia loves the Liverpudlian lads as much as they love us.

In April, they released Glitterbug, home to jams we're sure you'll be hearing a lot of come Southbound.

The Music is proudly presenting Southbound 2016, which hits WA from Friday, 8 January to Sunday, 10 January; head to our Southbound festival tab for more information.
