Newtown Festival 2016 Focus: Twin Fires

Answered by: Ed, Jake and Josie

Presumably you've been to the Newtown Festival before, what's your favourite memory? A couple of years back when Palms were playing, they played so well and the vibe in the audience was epic. So rad seeing local dudes killing it! 

What's first and why - music or stalls or bars? Music for sure, looking forward to seeing as many bands as we can!

Favourite spot at the festival to chill and watch the world go by? Definitely a sunny, grassy knoll (if you can find one) where you can get a good vantage point for people watching and a view of the stage.

What would be your entry into the dog show? Greyhound for sure. They're such elegant creatures.

The festival's theme this year is "Home Is Where The Heart Is" - where do you feel most at home in Newtown and why? Every corner has so many memories attached to it that it's hard not to feel at home all over the joint. But we're probably most happy throwing down a few schoos at the Union, Courty, the Erko.

Of all the food stalls on offer at the Festival, what do you reckon is one we should definitely check out and why? Fleetwood Macchiato and Continental Delicatessen. Neither of those places can do any wrong. Also Young Henrys because beer...

When and where are you performing on the day? 10.30am, Heart Beat Stage.
