GINGERFEST – Second Line-Up Announcement!

gingerfest The hardworking organisers of December’s inaugural GINGERFEST fundraising mini-festival are simply stoked to unveil the second batch of acts on their bumper punk rock line-up.

london ** TOUR UPDATED **

erth International Arts Festival are excited to announce London Grammar will be returning to Western Australia to play Redhill Auditorium on March 5 as part of the 2015 program. Returning to the West for the first time since their stunning performance at South Bound Festival, the announcement will be welcome news for WA fans.

Joining London Grammar for all shows will be New York minimal pop three piece Wet. The talk of SXSW this year, Wet, came to prominence late 2013 with breakthrough single ‘Dreams’ – a track readily added to full rotation on triple j and boasting in excess of 300,000 plays online. Their second single ‘You’re The Best’ proved a worthy successor; showcasing the indie pop smarts and minimalist R&B that saw the band publicly lauded by the likes of NME (“beguiling”), Billboard (“the toast of the tastemakers”) and BBC Radio 1 (“understated, considered and beautiful”).
