The John Butler Trio are one of the big movers this year. In FujiRocks of yesteryear (2005 to be exact) they put on a superb performance on Orange court, mid afternoon. This year has seen a movement to the white stage, second to headliners Groove Armada on Friday night. And it's not difficult to see why! This act from the Australian city of Perth, led by the US bred John Butler, have enjoyed a steady rise to stardom over recent years. Always loved by their fans and the press alike, they have been enjoying a pre-FujiRock tour of their home country, playing to sold out crowds at $60 a ticket! If you haven't managed to catch these guys before, they are a real gem, and will no doubt put on a special performance, well worthy of their position in the lineup!
