Beck’s Festival Bar line-ups announced, sponsored by inthemix!
Created On November 2nd, 2007 by JackT
It’s one of the stars of the summer season, and in 2008 the Sydney Festival’s Beck’s Festival Bar is returning to the Hyde Park Barracks with some of its strongest line-ups yet.
Over a succession of balmy nights in January, the inimitable venue will be treated to a true spectrum of contemporary music. Prepare to get familiar with the place (not to mention the taste of Beck’s), because every night’s a winner.
The reasons to be excited include the first-ever Australian appearances of electronic innovators Moodymann and Andrew Weatherall (performing on the Mad Racket and Warp nights respectively), the fancy footwork of electro-funk cats Chromeo, Bonde do Role bringing the rocking baile funk, Baltimore bad boys Spank Rock, and much, much more…
As a media partner of the Sydney Festival Beck’s Bar, ITM has got a summer seasonal pass to giveaway to one lucky punter. That’ll get you and a friend into every night of the Beck’s Bar! Stay tuned to inthemix for details on how to enter.
