#DISTRICT Global Street Fest: Tickets Now on Sale

Welcome to #DISTRICT, a Global Street Festival taking place in Newtown, October 13. A unique and eclectic musical programme will fuse world beats, pop, rock, jazz, soul and electronica, whilst showcasing both international, locally established and upcoming artists to audiences keen to explore musical adventures with like-minded people.
