Filling Newcastle’s festival void, This That is set to be a brand new music, food and culture experience for the Newcastle and Hunter region.

Proudly touting that the days of overpriced and undersatisfying premixed festival drinks are over, This That will feature small batch craft brew beer, wine, cider and fresh spirits, as well as local culinary delights in place of the old dagwood dog festival monopoly.

In addition, across its two stages will be an eclectic mix of great local and international acts, the full ineup of which will be announced on triple J on Thursday July 30.

And finally, after a bit of this and that will beThe Other. Putting Etsy to shame will be a weird and wonderful artisnal market including roving artisan performances and interactive workshops.

This That will take place on the Newcastle Foreshore on Saturday October 31, tickets and info through here.
