Sydney is looking mighty fine this weekend. Maybe it’s the fact that I haven’t been caught by my boss pretending to work all week, maybe it is the fact that there are five killer events on.
Either way I can feel it’s going to be a big one.

Stoney Roads SWAMP RAVE @ Chippendale Hotel
Last time the Stoney Roads guys threw a party they christened the Chippendale Hotel with the blessing of what is techno music. Now returning for a second time round, things are getting down and dirty with what they call, SWAP RAVE.
Presented by our friends at Coors you can only expect the best with a Void Sound System pumping out all the best disco, house and techno across two levels of swamp.

Splendour In The Cross @ The World Bar
It isn’t exactly the Byron Bay getaway I was after but when an eight band lineup decides to bring some noise to the now perpetually quiet cross I just have to get behind it. Presented by OXJAM, the multi-stage festival will make itself at home at World Bar Sydney- a venue know for its killer music and the teapot cocktails I blame for all those nights I can’t remember.
