History

Southbound began as a single-day music festival in 2005,[1] located at Sir Stewart Bovell Park in Busselton, Western Australia. In 2006, the event expanded, allowing festival-goers to camp on the festival grounds. In 2007, campers were allowed to camp the night before the festival, with special acoustic performances that same night.[2] The 2010 event expanded into a 3-day festival for campers (2 days for non-campers).

The 2016 event was cancelled the night before the event after bushfires in the

HBF Stadium on Sunday, 10 January.[5]

The event was rested in 2017. Some fans hoped it might come back in 2018, but the organisers moved on to other projects.[6]

The Event

ArtBound

ArtBound started at Southbound 2006,[7] as a showcase of works from the local art community.

EcoBound

Southbound 2014 offered incentives for attendees to help collect recycling and displayed the results in an art installation.

EcoBound displayed how recyclable materials and alternative energy were implemented to reduce the festival's environmental impact. Solar power and biodiesel were used to meet energy needs.

StageBound

StageBound allowed unsigned artists to perform at Southbound. A requirement of these artists was that they were from the south west regional areas of Western Australia.
