Brit electro-pop sensation La Roux will headline next year’s Bacardi Express. I wondered how they’d top last year’s headliners Groove Armada, and I guess I’ve got my answer!
”My band and I can’t wait to jump aboard the Bacardi Express.” La Roux enthused. “Four other Australian bands joining us on a train for 48 hours – it’s going to be a journey to remember!”
The tour will see 97 fans, and the bands and crew crammed into fifteen carriages for 48 hours of fun. On board entertainment caters for serious musos in the jam carriage, while budding guitar heroes can rock out in the gaming lounge. The Made to Mix carriage is a new addition this time around, where Bacardi Express artists will spin tunes as bartenders serve up Bacardi cocktails.
The travelling music festival is taking a different route this time around, winding its way for a series of free concerts from Brisbane to Sydney. The train will make stops in Coffs Harbour and Newcastle along the way.
Head to the Bacardi Express website to see how you can get on board with La Roux. While tickets are free, over 18s will need to win their place on this rocking tour. Registration opens on January 10 for the following shows.
