Set your clocks to 8-11 June and get pumped because the only music festival in the snow is back! Now in it’s 4th year, the Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music is set to stir up a blizzard on the June Long Weekend with over 100 shows across 10 venues.
Last year’s festival not only attracted record crowds but also a mountain of snow with 43cm of snow falling at Perisher weeks before the festival even started. Highlights of the 2011 festival included headliners Ash Grunwald, Christine Anu, Eric Bogle and the uber cool Skipping Girl Vinegar with Speed Skating Olympic Legend Steven Bradbury as the star MC.
What’s in store for the Snowies for 2012? Well to start with we have an awesome super early bird offer in store if you book your tickets in February! At only $99 for a 3 day festival pass if you book by 29 February, that’s a fantastic saving of $56. This year’s festival attracted over 220 artists applying, so right now our Artistic Director David De Santi is in the final stages of selecting the final 35. Sit tight and stay tuned on our website and Facebook pages for first headliner announcements.
There’s always something for everyone at the Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music and it’s all at your fingertips. Party late with some solid beats; curl up around the fire with some intimate acoustic; get lyrical at a poetry breakfast or expand your mind with some new world flavours.
The 2012 festival will also see the return of the popular kids program with its very own dedicated stage which will knock their socks off. With children under 14 free and a Family Fun Day Pass at only $49 per adult per day which includes unlimited entry to all festival events, kids stage, workshops, jumping castle and free ride on the Quad Express up the mountain, this could be your family’s best holiday ever!
This year’s Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music has also been kick started with a Destination NSW grant of $10,000.
