19 July 2010 by Soulshine News

Fat as Butter always aims to deliver the best of the best. A premier venue with perfect views and the hottest artists. With Wolfmother already announced we continue adding calories to our fattest line- up yet.

Joining the bill is a performer who pioneered rap on the West Coast of the United States and is still one it most visible and celebrated artists Ice Cube. With 8 solo albums under his belt and a long list of credits to his name, including actor, screenwriter, film director, and producer, ICE CUBE shows no sign of slowing down with his new album ‘I am the West’ and a new movie ‘Lottery Ticket’ both due out this year.

F.A.B HQ, are thrilled to have both Wolfmother and Ice Cube on board, but they are only part of a stellar line-up which kicks off the summer festival season. 2010’s bill will include Sneaky Sound System in their only festival appearance, dance sensations The Potbellez, Aria Award winning Hip hop outfit Bliss N Eso (with their new album ‘Down by the River’ out July 30), The Beautiful Girls, Tame Impala and Children Collide.

The 3rd Annual Fat as Butter Festival will take place on Saturday October 23 back where it all started at Camp Shortland, The Foreshore. This year the gorgeous beach front venue will also play host to a plethora of festival vibrancy with various market stalls, an international food bizarre, a sideshow ally of games and rides, artwork installations throughout the event site and roving performers. A premier venue for premier acts but tickets will go quickly. Don’t be the one who misses out.
