Not sure if you’ve noticed, but there’s a conspicuous festival-shaped void that’s opened up in Newcastle. No need to fret, though, THIS THAT, a brand new music, food, and culture experience set to kick off this October is here to fix this glaring problem.
Launching on Saturday, 31st October, THIS THAT will be drawing revellers to Newcastle’s iconic beachside Foreshore greenspace for a full day of primo eats, carefully crafted beverages and the cream of the Aussie music crop, and international guests across two huge stages.
The outdoor THIS Stage will be hosting an eclectic mix of local and international artists, while over on THAT Stage, some of the most exciting electronic music acts will be tearing up the big top. The full lineup is set to drop Thursday, 30th July.
While the music is sure to be splendid, THIS THAT prides itself on being a full cultural experience. Organisers promise punters they can forget about “the days of overpriced, under-satisfying premixed festival drinks in a can”.
THIS THAT features small batch brew craft beer, wine, cider, and fresh poured mixed spirits and cocktail lists to be curated by the region’s slickest bars and hole-in-the-wall speakeasies. There’ll be plenty of eats too, with a crack team of Sydney’s best food trucks.
Not to mention an “artisan market that would put Etsy to shame”, featuring stalls that will bring like-minded individuals together to share carefully crafted creative wares, as well as roving artisan performances and interactive workshops to open the mind and warm the soul.
