It's time to get in the groove!
The State of the Art (SOTA) music festival will be on from noon to 10pm on Saturday, 30 May on the WA Day long weekend.
What better way to celebrate our great state than by dedicating an entire music festival to Western Australian artists? Headlining the fourth annual SOTA festival is Perth born alternative rock band Birds of Tokyo on Saturday 30th May as part of the huge WA Day long weekend celebrations at the Perth Cultural Centre.
Proudly presented by Celebrate WA, in association with West Australian Music (WAM), SOTA will build on the success of the 2014 event, with three ticketed stages along with plenty of free entertainment, to be announced over the coming weeks. One ticket will get you in to see;
