Southbound made a shock announcement today that it will be cancelling this year’s event.
Posted on social media earlier today, the festival organisers said they would be taking a break from Southbound.
Earlier this year, the Mail reported that organisers of Southbound were talking to third parties about the continuation of the music festival.
The announcement comes after event organisers were forced to move the festival dates in 2016 from January to December after the Waroona bushfire caused road closures between Perth and the South West.
