Waywards Long Weekend Fest

Overview

Has the Easter long weekend snuck up on you? If you are yet to make plans but are looking to fill your extra days off with some very good live music, Waywards above The Bank in Newtown has you covered with three packed nights of music.

Each night's lineup focuses on a different genre, kicking off with a hip hop showcase on Thursday, April 6. Commence your four-day break with some of the most exciting acts coming out of Australia's hip hop community right now, headed up by the one and only Mulalo. If the Naarm (Melbourne) rapper isn't on your radar yet she will be soon, with instantly unforgettable tracks like 'Tracy Grimshaw' making huge waves. Joining Mulalo will be Caucasian Opportunities, Carolina Gasolina, Flywaves, Kymie and VV Pete.

Come Saturday, the vibe will shift towards nostalgic 2000s dance hits with a lineup of crowd-pleasing DJs arriving at Waywards. Leading the way is Discovery, Australia's highly convincing Daft Punk tribute show which will be rolling out all the hits of the French house/electronica luminaries. Also on the lineup is Sydney nightclub mainstay Jaime Doom of legendary troupe BangGang and local DJ Deckhead.

Rounding out the long weekend festival is a double-whammy of indie delights with alt-pop gems Clews performing alongside Canberra's Sesame Girl on Sunday, April 9.

Entry is free all weekend. Start getting into the zone with a quick hit of Mulalo now:
