2010 is cranking up to be another fantastic weekend at Youthopia! The program is still being finalised, but so far we’ve collated a great mix of exciting new acts along with old favourites. There’s the usual healthy dose of home-grown WA talent as well as some from the further corners of the country. We'll also have plenty of things for you to take part in, from blackboard concerts and jam sessions to circus tricks, body art and harmonica playing. Last year's cruisy new venue, the Seedbox, will be back along with Choc 'n' Chai, the Craft tent and the Youthopia Stage. Whether you want to dance the night away, learn a new skill, create something special or be swept off your feet by some glorious singing, kicking instrumentals or soulful songwriting, we've got it all. Youthopia will be THE place to be at Fairbridge in 2010, so mark your diary for 9 - 11 April NOW!
