Having announced one massive lineup, triple j have now revealed the location of their 2016 One Night Stand. This year, the one-night-only concert spectacular is set to take over Geraldton on the Coral Coast of Western Australia.
Boy & Bear and Alsion Wonderland, both of whom are set to play the event, will bring along a host of guests with them, including Benjamin Joseph (SAFIA), Bernard Fanning, Bertie Blackman, BRAVE, Jess Kent, Kira Puru, Patience Hodgson, and Sampa The Great.
“Everyone at triple j is really excited to be road tripping to Geraldton with some awesome musical mates,” said triple j Content Director Ollie Wards in a statement.
“We’re lucky to cover so much of this massive country and visiting cool regional towns like Geraldton is one of the best things we get to do. We can’t wait to throw the biggest free concert the town has ever seen and maybe try the famous lobster while we’re there!”
Meanwhile, Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn is equally stoked, saying, “This is absolutely incredible news for Geraldton. To have acts of such a high calibre coming to WA’s Mid West is amazing and we encourage everyone to come to Geraldton to check it out.”
“Regional areas often miss out on bigger festivals so we are very excited to have this year’s One Night Stand. We love hosting big events and we know this one is going to be huge.”
As always, triple j will be recruiting one lucky local band to join the lineup as their Unearthed Band. If you’re from Geraldton or the surrounding area and want to play alongside Boy & Bear and Urthboy, upload your songs to Unearthed before Sunday, 27th March.
