PUBLIC TRANSPORT INFORMATION

PLAN YOUR TRANSPORT! The best way to get to Soundwave is by public transport. Make sure you’ve taken a look at the timetables for your local public transport system and you’ve worked out a plan to get to the site – and, perhaps more importantly, how to get home when you’re a little bit worse for wear. The Public transport for Perth is included in your ticket.

There is limited parking available near the grounds so we encourage people to use alternative forms of transport. There will be no additional train services, so a normal public holiday schedule will be running. Bus schedules will be posted at a later date.
