Celebrating family, friends and shared experiences for over 28 years, Fairbridge Festival 2021 is three, magical days of music, camping, and art staged 9-11 April at Fairbridge Village, Pinjarra (Western Australia).
An event that has witnessed multiple generations gather annually for a festival-sized serving of contemporary indie pop and indie rock alongside folk, roots and music influenced by cultures from around the world, the 2021 edition of Fairbridge Festival will witness its largest showcase of local artists.Highlights of the massive line-up include Adrian Dzvuke, Alter Boy, Ballpoint Penguins, Carla Geneve, Fraeya, Lemon Mrytle, Natalie D-Napoleon, Noah Dillon and Soukouss Internationale. Yet that's only just scratching the surface of who is playing Fairbridge Festival this year.
While there'll also be an international guest, with German band The Beez returning to the festival for another instalment of their oompah take on classic pop tunes with a show titled 'Look What We've Done To Your Song'.
Scroll down for the complete lineup (in alphabetical order), but another squiz at the bill unearths the likes of Bustamento, Ciaran O'Sullivan, Gina Williams & Guy Ghouse, Kohesia Ensemble, MALi JO$E, Rob Snarski & Shane O'Mara, Steve Hensby Band, SUPEREGO and Taasha Coates.
"On behalf of myself and my truly wonderful team," Artistic Director Rod Vervest says, "let me say how proud we are to offer this rich and layered experience of music, dance and youth events, which focusses on Western Australian artists who deliver original and inspiring works.
"Fairbridge Festival radiates this visceral and immensely important reminder of the satisfaction and restoration of spirit that simply comes from sharing experiences on common ground."
There's also a vast range of classes and workshops to indulge every spectrum of the creative and holistic being from body painting, bookbinding, Céilí dancing and contour drawing to land art, meditation and movement, morning ecstatic dance and pilates; as well as seated dance, smartphone videography, ukulele song sessions, weaving magic and yoga.
Tickets are on sale through Moshtix.
