Listen Out is kicking off this weekend, and to say that we’re excited would be a gross understatement.

With a bill boasting the likes of ASAP Ferg, Anderson.Paak, Stormzy and hometown heroes RÜFÜS, we’re getting ready for a long day of dancefloor action and ignorant yelling along to ‘Dump Dump.’ With the inaugural 2016 show hitting Melbourne this Saturday on September 24th, we’re teaming up with Carlton Dry to host a little pre-party before the main event.

Everybody knows that you need a good pre-game spot before any festival, and this will definitely provide – with the soiree going down on the beautiful Captain Baxter Rooftop in St Kilda. There’ll be tunes courtesy of Audiopaxx DJs, Amastro, Fossa Beats and LoLo BX to get you warmed up in true Carlton Dry style, while you’ll also receive a free beverage and free finger food on arrival. How good is free stuff? For your convenience, the venue is just a short stroll to Listen Out at Catani Gardens.

If that wasn’t enough, a photo competition at the pre-party will let give you the chance to win Listen Out VIP upgrades to watch the action from side of stage, meet and greets, signed merchandise and more, courtesy of Carlton Dry! So what are you waiting for? If you’re a Melbourne head, RSVP below and secure your spot at the pre-party of the year:
