WAMFest is back for 2018 and packed with huge opportunities for West Australian artists! Last year over 300 artists performed to more than 40,000 punters and music industry delegates from all over the world, and this year it’s all happening again from 31 October – 4 November (plus, regional & local council events in the weeks leading up, to be revealed).
New festival coordinators Mark Neal and Simon ‘Skinny’ O’Leary took on dual programming roles and as a result substantially increased the number of local acts involved. A whopping 304 local acts (representing 1,145 musicians) showcased their talent at last year’s WAMFest Live events, and this year the folks at WAM hope to see even more!
Alongside WAMCon Coordinator Claire Hodgson and WAMAwards Coordinator Kate Branson, the ambitious festival producing pair are just as committed to creating opportunities for West Australian artists as ever.
Artist applications close 11:59pm 1 July 2018. Applications FREE for WAM Members and $20 for non-members. For more information on how to apply, head to wamfest.com.au.
