Hey mates, here’s another shindig to slot into your summer – FBi Radio are hosting a brand new festival in 2016, and Cosmo’s Midnight, Tuka, Dustin Tebbutt and Vallis Alps have just been announced as the headline acts.
The delightfully-named FBi SMACs Festival (*technically* the FBi SMACs: A Festival of Sydney music, arts and culture, but it’s only a matter of time before it gets Strayan-ised into ‘Smackers’) will be taking over Carriageworks in Eveleigh, Sydney, in January for an all-day party of super-talented acts, art installations, a mini golf course, a rave cave, and an all-out dance fest.
