Festival-goers get excited for Southbound

04 Jan, 2012 08:34 AM
THOUSANDS of Bunbury festival-goers will be packing their bags to head down to Busselton for this year’s Southbound festival.

One Bunbury resident was lucky enough to win the Bunbury Mail’s Southbound competition.

Jade Larsson won a double pass to the festival this weekend which will be held at Sir Stewart Bovall Park.

A huge line up has been announced for the show with headline acts Arctic Monkeys and The Kooks.

Other bands include The John Butler Trio, Josh Pyke, The Grates, Missy Higgins and Kimbra.

Southbound not only hosts music but will have comedy acts such as Arj Barker and Josh Thomas.

Performances will start from 11am on both Saturday and Sunday and will rock on until 2am on Saturday and midnight on Sunday.

There is a range of travel options for those who are not already prepared.

If driving, there is free parking available at the farm next to the Sir Stewart Bovell Park.

However, parking on the verge of either Vasse or Bussell Highways is prohibited.

There will also be buses going to the festival from Bunbury as well as shuttle buses around the local area.

The weather is also predicted to be a minimum of 15 to maximum 26 with low chance of rain on both days.
