Dots + Loops Nonstop Festival

Overview

Is it classical music? Is it something you'd hear in a club? No, it's something somewhere in between. Dots + Loops has been blurring the lines between conservatory and underground music for a few years now, and now it's bringing that blend of sounds to Newstead Brewing Co Milton for a one-day festival.

Post-genre is the term that Dots + Loops uses; however, whatever you want to call it, it's not going to be what you expect at Dots + Loops Nonstop Festival. Taking place from 4pm on Sunday, December 12, the fest features two stages jam-packed with talent — including Shoeb Ahmad's blend of guitars and electronics, Cigány Weaver's upbeat tunes, Expo 88's jazz-influenced electronica and DJ Avaxa on the decks.

Taking place in Newstead Brewing Co Milton's barrel hall, the event also includes a pop-up art gallery with work curated by The Third Quarter, an installation by local artists Tim Tate and Zenobia Frost, and photography exhibition

Obviously, given the venue, there'll be brews as well — and the fest is doing pay-what-you-can-afford tickets, with a $20 minimum and $35 recommended price.
