Southbound Second Lineup 2009

Wed 16th Sep, 2009 in Local News

Slightly tardy, considering the Falls announcement this morning (when everyone knows that the Falls line-up is going to be the same as Southbound.) There are no real surprises here. Except that the local acts are better and the announcement comes with the promise of a Southbound Fringe Festival, and ends with another tantalising titbit letting us know they still have a couple of other acts to announce for the main stages in the coming weeks. – Have Sunset got the deal of the festival year and are waiting to play their trump once everyone else has shown their cards? Knowing them, probably.

Until then, here’s the line-up in full and in the order announced by Sunset events just so you know for sure.

To be honest, even if they don’t have a trump, unlike some overly-hyped Australian music festivals, Southbound is really worth travelling across the country for.
