This edition of WAM’s Wheatbelt Touring Circuit will celebrate the 2016/2017 series coming to an end with an all-star Wheatbelt artist line-up. This tour will see some of the finest local musicians from the Wheatbelt, as well as several Wheatbelt WAMbassadors. The WAMbassadors initiative recently produced a video, receiving over 20,000 views, featuring the WAMbassadors promoting road safety messages, a collaborative production with partners RAC. This tour will close off the program, showcasing the immense talent found in the region.
“As we come to the end of the third series, it is exciting to think WAM have programmed 76 shows in this region as part of the Wheatbelt Touring Circuit,” says Regional Officer Nigel Bird.
“Having showcased almost 250 original music sets from West Australian artists, we finish series three with a tour that features all Wheatbelt artist line ups (including two of our Wheatbelt WAMbassadors) in three popular destinations for original music. All whilst doing our very best to remind people about road safety in the region.”
Continuing our partnership with RAC, and with support from the Department of Culture and the Arts, Royalties For Regions and Country Arts WA, WAM’s Wheatbelt Touring Circuit Tour 10 will roll into Quindanning on Thursday 15 June, Northam Friday 16 and finish in Merredin for the final show of the series on Saturday 17 June.
The tour will see all dates headlined by rock outfit The Primary Collective (featuring Wheatbelt WAMbassador Jayden Crook) plus the indie-pop/alt-country sounds of WAMbassador Polly Medlen. Across the venues, Wheatbelt acts will also support the local headliners, including Russell & Tom and Refractory Road.
