HOMEBAKE Festival

HOMEBAKE 07 IS OVER

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Once again comes that time of the year, where we at HOMEBAKE HQ bid fare well to yet another installment which is now looming close to the status of passing a generation worth of festival events. Having just celebrated our thirteenth birthday, we’re compelled to express some pride in the fact that Homebake 07 would rate as one of the finest staged to date. Devoted to honouring the success of the females of our entertainment industry, Homebake 07 was an endearing mix of audio and visual multimedia, combined with exceptional artist performances, fashion, short film…and of course all the usual fun of the fare including markets, food, rides etc etc. The weather gods were kind; the patrons friendly; the Domain in central Sydney City being a spectacular setting for a very special day – what more could we ask for. In amongst the celebratory exclamations, we also extend massive and eternal thanks to all those who attended and did support Homebake. Let it be known, acknowledged and realized that your support of this humble event contributes greatly to the international recognition of many of our finest up and coming and established stars!
And so, another year goes by as we now commence planning for the next Homebake - which will be back bigger, better and more spectacular than ever. We ask you to stay tuned as we countdown to that fine day next December when once again, that iconic venue known as The Domain, will host Australia’s most famous ‘locals only’ festival, Homebake 2008!
In the meantime, please continue your research & support of Homebake, it’s featured artists, films and designers; and most important, the charities and causes we continue to support with each and every Homebake. You can also check new images of Homebake in our photo section.

THE HOMEBAKE STORY
You don't get a reputation for being Australia's premier all-local festival without actually coming up with the goods ... time after time. So, ladies and gentlemen, we present you folk on myspace the Australian festival famously known as Homebake.
Primarily, a youth orientated Australian music event created to present (& celebrate) contemporary music over a wide variety of styles, the Homebake objective is to provide an affordable one day outdoor festival that features an array of the biggest names in Australian contemporary music....and covering a plethora of styles including pop, rock, techno, punk, country, electronic, hip hop etc.
The international standard of live music performed at each Homebake festival, is combined with an array of information, awareness & market stalls, street performers, amusement rides, community issue outlets performance art, a celebrated Cinema Tent, cultural food fare & stalls - all melded together to create the perfect festival atmosphere.
Since its inception in 1995, Homebake has built a reputation as a premier music festival featuring the most famous contemporary acts from Australia and New Zealand. Homebake has given local performers (& the arts community) a very large platform which has now successfully blurred the distinction between international and local artists.
The event has traveled interstate establishing its popularity, although has now found it's home within the most stunning location of The Domain within The Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney City, Australia. Heck, Homebake has even been made famous having starred (as itself) in the Alex Proyas feature film, Garage Days.
Homebake has played host to a huge variety of famous contemporary Australian artists including JET, NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS , POWDERFINGER , SILVERCHAIR , ALEX LLOYD , HOODOO GURUS , KASEY CHAMBERS , GRINSPOON , PAUL KELLY , RADIO BIRDMAN , THE GO BETWEENS , THE LIVING END , WOLFMOTHER , THE FINN BROTHERS , CUT COPY , SOMETHING FOR KATE , THE VINES .. and the list of award winning performers continues. Each year, Homebake features over 50 artists & DJ's across four stages and is then celebrated by the release of the now famous Homebake CD compilations
Celebrating its thirteenth year in 2007, HOMEBAKE has become the most famous & widely recognised annual 'locals only' festival within the Australia (and acknowledged around the world) - and once again will feature a huge array of names and special surprises come December 2008.
