Overview

Having chalked up an impressive 16 years on Tattersalls Lane, it's safe to say Section 8 is up there among the city's most iconic drinking destinations. So, this weekend, expect some fittingly grand celebrations, when the shipping container bar teams up with sibling and neighbour Ferdydurke to mark the milestone with a three-day birthday party.

From Friday, April 8–Sunday, April 10, you'll catch a tasty program of tunes, performances, markets and bevs, unfolding across both beloved venues. The musical lineup is as dance-friendly as ever, with acts like Soju Gang, D. Matthews, Sadiva, MzRizk, Izy and DancingWater just some of the legends set to soundtrack these laneway shenanigans.

From 1–5pm on both the Saturday and the Sunday, you'll also be able to browse a range of locally made wares at the pop-up laneway artist market. And to keep you sufficiently fuelled through the weekend, expect drink specials from the likes of Ray Seltzer, Atomic Beer and Baron Samedi rum.
