Overview

Backyard parties rule. Everyone is aware of this right? Sitting around for an indefinite amount of time boozing with your friends and listening to music is nothing short of awesome. Ric’s is well aware of this too and is recalibrating the idea of the classic backyard party by hosting their first inaugural Ric’s Big Backyard Festival this month.

Instead of Sammy’s banged up iPod dock pumping the jams, there’s going to be 3 stages (one upstairs, one downstairs and one outside) with 21 bands playing throughout the day. The Backyard’s amazing lineup includes Dunedin-based noise punk trio Die! Die! Die!, Pangaea (playing their first gig in twelve years), and Sydney legends You Am I to finish off what is going to be an epic time.

And just like the best backyard parties, tickets for the Big Backyard Festival are limited to keep up an intimate festival atmosphere and allow space for punters to move and breathe, so you gots to gets your tickets quick!
