All Australian Freakout!
Sunday March 19th

Rock It No.8 in December slammed us into the summer season in glorious style with monster international line up featuring the Foo Fighters, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Wolfmother and more.
It must have been a good one because then summer was too scared to show up in Perth until 2 months later.

Summer might have stiffed us but WA’s very own Rock-It festival is about as loyal and reliable as an event could be to the people of Western Australia and we’re going to end this weird summer by delivering the people of Western Australia an awesome ALL AUSTRALIAN edition of WA’s favourite rock event.
Not just a huge line up that shows the world just how great Australian music is but a scorching ticket price, huge production, the cheapest event food and beverage prices in the country, the lush green grass of Arena Joondalup, the WA sunshine and that unmistakable Rock-It comfort and vibe.

BAND SITE

SILVERCHAIR
Rock-It is proud to welcome one of Australia’s greatest bands and international success stories – Silverchair.

They headlined our first ever Rock-It in 1999 and it’s a pleasure to have them back as they crank it up for a much anticipated new album in 2006.

Last playing in Perth on their Diorama tour, Silverchair sold out two Belvoir Amphitheatres and played in the rain with an unforgettable backdrop of thunder and lightning.

For those who were there it was a religious experience!

Multi talented, multi-platinum international heroes and Australian born and bred!!!

BUTTERFINGERS
Just like the name suggests, these slippery chaps have used mischief and mayhem to build a huge fanbase around the country over the last couple of years.

Independent and always controversial in both content and delivery (live and on video) no mother, no conservative and no religious person is safe from the long reach of Butterfingers.

FAKER
Faker have certainly come a long way since their first Rock-It appearance in 2005.

Their debut album 'Addicted Romantic' has garnered a string of radio hits and their latest single 'Hurricane' came in at number 21 on Triple J's Hottest 100. Energy, melody, action! Awesome!

AFTER THE FALL
It's an 'old school Rock ethic' type thing that seems to be a running theme with this band. After the Fall are as much influenced by The Angels, AC/DC or Midnight Oil as they are by their modern day punk rock contemporaries and this is what defines their distinctive sound.

Angular rock, brash and energetic but with melody and angst that gives it the voice of right now..

HOT LIES
The Hot Lies burst onto the scene when their home recorded demo 'Bullets and Blacklines' hit high rotation on Triple J.

Now after two years of playing packed pubs and clubs throughout WA and Australia the boys are ready to bring the fury of their live shows to the big Rock-It stage.

They picked up the first ever ARIA for 'Best Urban Release' and then produced an amazing album in the shape of 'New Old Ground'.
