Establishing itself as Brisbane's most original new festival with over 2000 attendees at its inaugural event last year, The West End Carnivale is back! Rudekat Records and the team behind Experience BTS bring to you another fantastic selection of bands, selectas, circus freaks and masked marauders in Brisbane's biggest masquerade party ever!
Taking place May 15 at the fantastic riverside grounds of Souths Leagues club at Davies Park, The West End Carnivale will host over 50 acts featuring a mighty reggae and world music line up. As well as bringing top level national acts, The West End Carnivale is all about promoting the excellent music and performing artists of Brisbane and the West End scene in particular.
The Carnivale draws its inspiration from the Brazilian and Caribbean tradition and encourages all performers and patrons to mask up, or come in a costume.
It's tradition for Carnivale goers to come in masked or costumed groups - and this year the festival will offer group discounts for those who come and add to the colour. This year, Rio Rhythmics will return with their famed costumed dancers and percussion ensemble to form the nucleus of the Carnivale Parade. They will be joined by fire dancers and roving performers to create what is undoubtedly the festival highlight.
The Carnivale will also feature an outside bar, food and craft markets and a workshop venue. The West End Carnivale is all ages and under 12's are free.
The Bands
Headlining the 2010 event is Melbourne's finest purveyors of Soul and Funk The Bamboos. Fresh out of the studio with brand-new album, the guys are sure to be on fire when they take the Carnivale main stage. Joining them from across the Tasman is Sunshine Sound System, who are sure to have the crowd bouncing with their tight mix of Hip Hop, Funk and Soul.
And from there the line-up goodies continue, with well-loved bands Mojo JuJu and The Snake Oil Merchants (Melb), Juke Baritone & The Swamp Dogs (Syd), Dubmarine, Laneous and the Family Yah, Kingfisha, The Woohoo Revue, The View from Madeleine's Couch and Tibet to Timbuctoo all playing the West End Carni 2010. They are joined by Grassroots Street Orchestra, Darky Roots, Blind Dog, The Rude, Paua, Truth Serum, LUVS, Juddah, Bessy Lou, Martini 66, Graffiti MC's and Happy Days on a jam-packed lineup!
