Ready all the feels, add toasty fire pits, hangs with your buds and an epic return to live music 'cause Fremantle's annual Hidden Treasures celebrates its tenth instalment with 50 acts across 4 nights in September.
Spread across four Thursday evenings (3, 10, 17, 24 September), Hidden Treasures bolts down at five venues in the port city's west end: The National, The Buffalo Club, The Navy Club, PS Art Space and Fremantle Tram.The assembled musical talent Hidden Treasures has sourced for 2020 is the season's freshest, including hip hop, pop singer-songwriter, producer Adrian Dzvuke – who was the second runner up of the grand prize at the recent WAM Song Of The Year awards for his track 'Bad Like Ri Ri', which features POW! Negro.
Speaking of the Fremantle emcee, Superego will make their Hidden Treasures debut as part of the opening night that will also witness a new studio collaboration, Easy Jean (featuring Andy Hill from electronic act Ambidexter, Cheree Dobra from Melbourne dream-pop band Bayou and guitarist Drew Wooten from The Panics).
A number of 2020 WAM Song Of The Year nominees are also part of the action, including Siobhan Cotchin, Dilip 'n The Days, Phoneline Valentine and Joan & The Giants.
"We have loved this festival for a long time and are absolutely thrilled to be playing it," Joan & The Giants' Grace Newton-Wordsworth says.
"We are also excited that it is going ahead in these unprecedented times; honestly to be on the stage again feels like such a cathartic experience in itself."
Other highlights of the programme include The Justin Walshe Folk Machine, Children Of The Tide, New Nausea, Peter Bibby's Dog Act, Dennis Cometti, Flewnt, Trolley Boy, Airline Food and Vancool. Scroll down for the entire line-up.
Normally staged in winter, City of Fremantle decided to go ahead with a later event as COVD-19 restrictions began to ease.
"We know it is an important time to support musicians and local businesses, so we've decided to surprise everyone and hold it in September for the first time," City of Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt says.
"We are lucky in Western Australia to be in a position where COVID-19 restrictions are easing, and we can start to enjoy parts of 'normal' life again."
