Overview

The Bacardi Express may be an iconic 1960s relic but it certainly ain't the kind of blissed-out peace train Cat Stevens would croon about. For two solid days, under one rattling roof, musicians, bartenders, cooks, crew, and nearly one hundred revellers will clutter five bespoke carriages for the sake of music on the move.

Headliners La Roux will be joined by Art vs Science, Yves Klein Blue, Miami Horror and the Cassette Kids, with DJ support from Sampology, on a new route that will see this rail-show play exclusive gigs in Brisbane, Coffs Harbour, Newcastle, and finally Sydney.

The various themed carriages housing the hubbub will include a gaming carriage, a jamming carriage and a 'made-to-mix' carriage which I can only assume will involve copious amounts of Bacardi and the creative use of mixers.

So if jamming, sleeping, and eating with some of this country’s finest musician’s sounds like your bag there are still 12 whole seats available on the train, and the concerts are free so you need not worry about calling in sick for a couple of days. However, like all good stations in life places are limited so register online at www.bacardiexpress.com.au.
