Following a revamping of the entire format at the 2013 edition, this year's WAM Festival will continue evolving into the epic celebration of all this WA music our talented state deserves. Rocking an even stronger focus on local produce, 2014 features the game-changing addition of a huge Block Party, along the WA Music Awards moving to Capitol, the Craft Awards to the State Theatre Courtyard, the Music Conference stepping up to Friday and Saturday in new venues, and the Saturday Spectacular once again providing a great opportunity for industry and punters to get a healthy dose of WA talent.
