This Sunday, 6 October, West Best Bloc Fest will once again take over Newcastle with the city’s biggest celebration of local music.
In this handy guide, we’ll tell you what you need to know before you go including ticketing info, festival maps and set times for all 12 stages.
We’ve also got a video telling you about the acts you don’t want to miss on the lineup, some words from West Best founder Dylan Oakes, info about the Newcastle Live Festival stage and we’ll take you on a walk around the bloc so you know where you’re going on the big day.
Easy!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
TICKETS
Final Release General Admission tickets are now on sale. But don’t bet on them lasting too long. In past years the festival has sold out and people turning up in the late afternoon expecting to grab one have been disappointed.
