Just who is the Mystery Guest at this year’s In The Pines? RTRFM have released the set times so you can plan your day, and speculate about who the special unknown act headlining one of the side by side stages at 9pm might be. The 25th Anniversary of the festival is being held at UWA Somerville Auditorium on Sunday week, April 29.
In The Pines has come along way since the first one featuring Ammonia, Blue Tile Lounge, Rosemary Beads, Yummy Fur, Circus Murders, Mardi Picaso, Lamia and Rhythm Elixir took to the UWA Somerville Auditorium, and in a tribute to that very first edition, the Rosemary Beads return in 2018.
The story goes that then station manager, Kath Letch, had a booking for the Somerville Auditorium, but didn’t want to book an event that might lose money. She took the booking to Rewi Lyall (now Chairman of RTRFM) and Michael Roberts from the Homegrown crew, and they organised the bands, liquor license and the volunteers, and its been running ever since, becoming as iconic as the station itself.
