October’s West Best Bloc Fest promises to be the biggest lineup of local music Newcastle has ever seen.

The massive celebration of local live music will take place across several inner-city venues all on one day.

Dylan Oakes, the man behind the festival, part owner of Hunter Streetโ€™s Family Hotel, and the driving force behind Bandiad Bookings dropped in to chat with Bonnie and Steve on The Good Stuff.
