Scenario: the Newstead Hip Hop Festival 2018

Overview

Last year, we told you to get ready for a brand new scenario. This year, it's back. Yes, Newstead now has a Hip Hop Festival, and it's called Scenario, actually. Returning tot The Triffid on May 5 for its second time around, the fest promises 12 hours of beats, rhymes and more, all in one of Brisbane's best venues, and all for free.

If the joint's a-rocking, do come a-knocking from 1pm — and given the lineup, it's bound to be. Local legends Resin Dogs lead the bill, unleashing the kind of 20th anniversary set that fans and newcomers alike are bound to love. And while the full roster of talent is yet to be announced, Ziggy Ramo, Jesswar, iiiConic and Gratis Minds are also on the bill.

As well as the tunes — all day, non-stop — there'll be beverages and food on offer too. It wouldn't be a fest without them, of course, and it wouldn't be a public holiday eve either.
