Old Mates Block Party 2018

Proudly presented by Our Friends Electric, Young Henrys, Monkey Shoulder & The Lockhearts Saturday the 3rd of February will see the third annual Old Mate’s Block Party take place at the Factory in Marrickville. The festival was started by The Lockhearts as an alternative to complaining about, and a means to disprove the jump-the-gun music journalism constantly crying wolf to the alleged death wobbles of Sydney’s live music community. A festival to unite music fans and show them a collection of bands The Lockhearts hand picked personally. A festival to get people involved in the local music scene because… they think it’s rad. Fast-forward two years and whilst the hurdles are still there, the results are well in! The festival has successfully sold out two years in a row and many punters have found their new favourite bands. The Lockhearts are avid live-music goers and as a result have seen (and played with) some banger bands in 2017. Impassioned by the quality kicking on about the place they've decided to throw this party again to showcase the ludicrous talent Australia has waiting in the wings, the sound of the underground. Tickets are on sale now, it’s recommended you get in quick, because they will sell out.
