FBi RADIO, Sydney's leading community station and lifeblood of its creative culture, is turning 10. On Sunday September 8, the gang will celebrate a decade of loving Sydney by hosting the biggest event in the station’s history.

Iconic Sydney venue Carriageworks will host over 35 acts across 4 stages, as well as a plethora of other sensory treats. The festival will sprawl across the entire site with its heritage buildings and unique industrial atmosphere. It will be the first time Carriageworks has presented an event of this scale.

FBi commenced broadcasting on August 29, 2003 as the first community radio outlet dedicated to playing 50% Australian music, half of that from Sydney. The station's sound and authenticity has connected with the people of Sydney and the station now boasts a weekly audience of 250,000 listeners.

'FBi Turns 10!' doubles as a fundraiser for the not-for-profit, volunteer-run station. It will allow FBi to further its mission of making Sydney one of the most vibrant and culturally interesting cities in the world, through grassroots support for local music, art and culture.

The line-up features FBi favourites from the past ten years and emerging favourites that will define the next ten. It includes musicians that FBi is proud to have championed since their first demos, who are now killing it on an international scale. There are FBi SMAC Award winners (Hermitude, Seekae), ARIA winners (The Presets) and nominees (Decoder Ring, Urthboy) plus many, many more.
