Sonic Masala 2018

Overview

Bowls clubs aren't just a source of beer at 1970s prices, great cheap lunches and fun stints of rolling balls at other balls — or not at Club Greenslopes at least. The inner-south spot is also Sonic Masala's annual home, with the music festival returning for 2018.

The main action takes from 11am on Saturday, August 18, combining everything that a 4ZZZ-presented music festival at a bowls club should: bowls (obviously), bands (of course), brews (naturally) and food (well, you're going to be hungry after all of the above). And, it's bringing a packed lineup, all for the entry price of $25 on the door, with everyone from Harmony and Bad Bangers to Nova Scotia and Eyes Ninety on the bill — plus Glomesh, Oranges, Time For Dreams, the Flangipanis and plenty more.

If that's not enough, there'll also be a pre-fest party the night before at Betty's Espresso and Bar in South Brisbane. Screamfeeder leads the Friday evening bill, and tickets to the August 17 shindig also cost $25 at the door.
