[edit] History

Southbound began as a single day music festival in 2005[1], located at Sir Stewart Bovel Park in Busselton, Western Australia. In 2006 the event expanded, allowing festival-goers to camp on the festival grounds. In 2007, campers were allowed to camp the night before the festival, with special acoustic performances that same night [2].

[edit] The Event

[edit] ArtBound

ArtBound started at Southbound 2006[3], as a showcase of works from the local art community.

[edit] EcoBound

EcoBound displayed how recyclable materials and alternative energy were implemented to reduce the environmental impact of the festival. Solar power and biodiesel were used to meet energy needs.

[edit] StageBound

StageBound gave unsigned artists an opportunity to perform at Southbound. A requirement of these artists was that they were from the south west regional areas of Western Australia.
