Bands tour there all the time. I'm pretty sure they do it because it's a coastal thing, where they get to roam down the ocean front and stare at good looking brawds while playing gigs. Their festivals are pretty well known to attract the big names.....check the old Big Day out festivals, Vfest, as well as the Jazz and Blues festivals. I've been to a few and they were awesome.

Have a look at Flameswin's post, it's pretty apparent our Vfest had nowhere near the talent of some of the others. Maybe it's my taste in music, but I was pretty disappointed with what came.
