The bloc party begins…

Possibly the biggest thing to happen in Newy since the erection of the penis tower back in 1988, West Best Bloc Fest, is spreading its tentacles across seven venues and nine stages this Sunday. Showcasing a slew of local talent, the festival will see over 70 artists take over venues such as The Family Hotel, The Star, Rogue Scholar and more.

The best part is: one ticket will get you access to this mammoth lineup. This is closely followed by the second best thing: you will have Monday off to deal with what will surely be one of the biggest (musical) comedowns of the year. TICKETS HERE.

Ok. So now, you’ve got your ticket, but can’t decide who to see. Well, we asked the event organisers to make it a little easier for us by offering a three-word description of each act. Is it helpful? Who knows, but it’s certainly entertaining. Check it out below and we’ll see you, somewhere, on Sunday:
