Chet Faker, Flight Facilities and Father John Misty are just some of the names emblazoned on the gigan-a-mous bill for WA’s new Disconnect Festival.
The three-day camping extravaganza, situated in the picturesque Fairbridge Village just one hour south of Perth, is scheduled to take place this December, from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th.
With the tagline “What a music festival should be”, Disconnect 2015 is being touted as a European-style festival experience, featuring a diverse, monster lineup of both international and homegrown talent, as well as art, comedy, burlesque, vaudeville, sport, adventure activities, spoken word shows, gourmet food and more, set against its lush historic village backdrop.
Some of the other acts on the jaw-dropping lineup include Neon Indian and Mercury Rev from the USA, Aussie favourites Meg Mac, The Jungle Giants, Tkay Maidza and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Swedish alt-fusion group Goat and stacks more.
More music, art, comedy and cabaret acts will also be announced shortly.
Tickets to Disconnect 2015 go on sale to the general public from 9am next Tuesday 22nd September, but those who sign-up to the database via the festival’s website will get access to discount pre-sale early bird tix.
