West Set 2019
Beat the winter blues with real blues.

Overview
Just when things are starting to get shivery cold, West Set 2019 will be here to warm you up. Starting Friday, June 14, the festival will fill the inner west with free live music for nine happy, happy days.
More than 30 free gigs will take over pubs, bars, cafes, art houses and restaurants — all within walking distance of each other and Footscray Station. Start your day with a coffee and a singer-songwriter's soulful jams, then finish it with a craft brew and a rock concert.
Kicking off all the action will be a launch party at Footscray's The Line, featuring singer-songwriter Alice Skye, whose singles 'Friends with Feelings' and '60%' have topped recent Aussie radio charts, soul-jazz infused vocal trio The Dusty Millers and hip-hopper Ziggy Ramo.
Other acts slated to appear during the festival include Huntly, Gordon Koang, Donald's House, Culte, Ruby Jones and more. And, if you're a musician working toward a professional career, make sure you get along to the West Set workshop, which will cover the pros and cons of making music independently in Australia.
West Set 2019 will take place around Footscray from June 14–23. Check out the rest of the program over here and keep across the updates via Facebook.
