24 Mar 2011

Three new festivals have been announced for October 2011 across Australia for all music fans to bask in their glory.

The South Australian government will fund Earth Station, the greenie version of Womadelaide. It is to be run in Belair National Park from October 21 to 23, by the Womadelaide Foundation. The program will include workshops, performances, sustainable technology demonstrations “and even an international think-tank concentrating on one significant issue,” said Premier Mike Rann.

Ballina NSW will host the inaugural Coastal Country Music Festival in October, with Troy Cassar-Daley confirmed as the headlining act. Ballina Shire Council allocated $20,000 for the festival, which is a part of a three-day community and family event. The festival is looking for a naming rights sponsor.

The West Australian government is putting in $1 million towards an eight-day arts and culture festival during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Perth. The festival will include a world music concert, and includes a further $1.45million funding from Lotterywest.

We are pleased to announce that all appropriate Blue Pie artists will be submitted to these festivals by the Blue Pie team. A small reminder to all Blue Pie artists, please remember to keep Blue Pie up-to-date with all bios and blogging consult, so that our marketing team can pitch you to these great opportunities.
