4ZZZ Happy-Fest

Overview

Homespun local radio station 4ZZZ has provided roots for more blooming Brisbane bands, artists and journalists than you count on your hands and toes, and that’s something worth being happy about. Now, 38 years since their first broadcast, they’ll be celebrating the launch of their soon to be available On Demand service – something else to be happy about. Plus, the government has announced a $6 million boost to community radio funding in the next 3 years – put a smile on that dial!

What better way then to celebrate all things happy than with in a good ol’ fashioned Happy-Fest, led in strong 4ZZZ form with a wowing lineup of musicians and artists. Starting at 3pm at Winn Lane, the party will venture right into the evening with The Zoo playing host from 7pm onwards. Leading the fun will be Sydney’s Raw Prawn, Melbourne’s Forces, synth twins Multiple Man, old-fashioned beer-fueled rockers Happy Times, and alienwave indie-rock band Barbiturates – a line up hand picked by a group who really know who we should be looking out for.

Neglect community radio and you cripple arts and culture at its most nascent stage, but support it, and expect... happiness!
