FBi SMACS Fest
FBi Radio is taking over the Oxford Art Factory for an eight-hour party featuring Tasman Keith, Rainbow Chan and Shady Nasty.
Overview
Sydney community radio station FBi Radio has been uplifting and celebrating Sydney music and the arts for nearly 20 years. A leading voice in the local music scene, the independent radio station puts on the SMAC (Sydney Music, Arts and Culture) Awards each year, and this year, the FBi team is taking things IRL to put on the SMACS Fest as part of Vivid Sydney.
On Friday, June 10 FBi is running a full venue takeover of the Oxford Art Factory for the festival with a huge lineup filled with more than 15 of the city's best bands, solo artists and DJs across two stages. Heading up the lineup is rapper Tasman Keith in the lead up to his new album A Colour Undone, acclaimed singer-songwriter and producer Rainbow Chan, energetic punk and hip-hop trio Shady Nasty and multi-talented rapper and creative Jamaica Moana.
Elsewhere on the lineup you'll find live performances from the likes of Moody Beach, 700 Feel and Wytchings alongside DJ sets from Spin the Bottle, Outer Shores, Radar Sounds, Club Boyfriend and Credcendoll just to name a few.
The last FBi SMACS Fest was all the way back in 2015, and featured performances from Cosmo's Midnight, Tuka and Palms, as well as Sampa the Great, Hockey Dad and B Wise who were all cutting their teeth at the time. There was even a DJ set from now-Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
The mini festival will be kicking off at 8pm and running all the way until 3am on Saturday morning. Tickets are $35 plus booking fees, however all FBi Radio Supporters can nab $10 off their ticket.
