Psyched to be heading to WA, triple j Content Director Ollie Wards says “Everyone at triple j is really excited to be road tripping to Geraldton with some awesome musical mates. We’re lucky to cover so much of this massive country and visiting cool regional towns like Geraldton is one of the best things we get to do. We can’t wait to throw the biggest free concert the town has ever seen and maybe try the famous lobster while we’re there!”

To have acts of such a high calibre coming to WA’s Mid West is amazing and we encourage everyone to come to Geraldton to check it out.
