Headlining from Interstate we have funky new boys from Melbourne - Labjacd, a dynamic 9 piece who are a fusion of hip hop, Cuban salsa, Jazz and Andean Folk music, who recently performed at the 2006 WOMADelaide. Also from Melbourne is Sime Nugent one of Australia's great singers/songwriters, Sime has toured throughout Australia, Europe and America and released nine albums. Mia Dyson joins us with her dynamic guitar playing and extraordinary voice, currently touring the states, she’ll be back in time for the YHA Peace Festival. Liz Stringer, darling of the 2006 festival circuit is a melodic thunder-punch of blazing talent and charisma.

Headlining from South Australia we have none other than The Audreys who are experiencing an astronomical rise to fame – they’re not quite country, not quite folk, and not quite pop, but a dreamy mix of all of the above. We have our very own Heather Frahn who deals out passion, attitude and confidence and etypejazz will be there too adding some of their smooth, stylish sophistication to the day.

Other performers for the day are Dada Nii and Damushi Ensemble, Gillies St School Taiko Drummers, Kaurna Plains School, La Bomba, Nukanya Dancers, Bhangra Impressions, The Elite Accordian Group and a bit of comedy from Oz-star Airlines and Sebastian Carboncini.

Peace One Day all began about 6 years ago when British actor and filmmaker Jeremy Gilley made a documentary about his quest for just one day of world peace. Jeremy spent years writing letters, persuading politicians and tirelessly filming everything he did. In 2001 the UN Assembly declared that beginning 2002, the International Day of Peace should be observed on the 21st of September each year, as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence - an invitation to all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities during that day.
