After multiple postponements and lineup changes, one of our favourite live music events, Scene & Heard, will once again take over Wickham Park in Newcastle this Sunday, 13 March.
To say we’re a little excited about its triumphant return would be an understatement.
From cheering on home town heroes, The Porkers and dancing to Ratcat like we’re still in our twenties to singing every word like we wrote it when headliners Grinspoon hit the stage – We’re all in!
To help everyone make the most out of the day, we’ve put together this handy little guide so you can know before you go.
We’ll see you down the front!
SCENE & HEARD SET TIMES
Here’s all the info you need to make sure you don’t miss any of the action on stage from Grinspoon, Spiderbait, COG, Ratcat, Frenzal Rhomb, Tumbleweed, The Porkers and Caligula.
The main stage action kicks off with techno-grunge outfit, Caligula just after gates open at 1:00pm and finishes up at 9:00pm with headliners Grinspoon.
And you can celebrate the return of dancing at music festival from 3:00pm when DJ Fuel starts spinning rug cutters on the Don’t Come Monday stage.
#PROTIP: If Grinspoon isn’t your thing, don’t leave early, because the Discovery Daft Punk Tribute is going to be off the hook.
