This summer, bamBOO is partnering with Drum Media and RTRFM to bring a programme set to tantalise and lure you into a relaxing, open air amphitheatre where music, food and art collides in an invigorating frenzy. What better way to spend those lazy summer days in Perth than to be entertained outdoors with drinks in hand?

bamBOO unlocks its gates this spring, presenting the Main Stage from October 2nd 2009 to May 2nd 2010. Released in two parts, Main Stage First Act will run through early summer and the Second Act will follow as the new year unfolds.

Here’s just some of the acts you can except on Fridays and Sundays. Keep your eyes peeled in all good cafes for a full programme of events.

October 9 8pm
Clare Bowditch graces bamBOO with her acoustic indie-pop sounds, a knack for melody and insightful narrative.

October 25 4pm
The soul-drenched entertainers known as Boom! Bap! Pow! bring their trashy doo-wop-pop mission to bamBOO.

November 1 4pm
Grace Barbe and Band brings music influenced by her Creole culture with a combination of afro-Creole and island roots and reggae.

November 8 4.30pm
Assembly Line have recently released their EP combining instrumental hip hop with live keys.

November 22 4pm
Mo Wilson and the Drivers bring their piano-based tunes ranging from reggae to sixties rock to soul.

December 13 4pm
The Sneaky Weasel Gang explode into action on stage, taking the crowd from an island beach party to a smoky funky blues dance.

December 27 4pm
Special Brew bring ska to the main stage, capturing the energy of Jamaica and Two Tone influences from the UK.

A little spot of difference with big ideas, the bamBOO has grown another year to reveal a rich haven off Beaufort Street.
