4ZZZ’s boutique bohemian festival is a back to launch this year’s 4ZZZ Radiothon! The station takes over the Underdog across three stages on the first night of its annual subscriber drive.
Since 2012, Happyfest has recruited underground Australian acts including Lost Animal, Kirin J Callinan, Forces, Blank Realm, Raw Prawn, Bitch Prefect, Holy Balm, New War and so many more.
On August 22 Happyfest will take over three floors at the Underdog Pub Co with an assortment of Brisbane’s best including Martyr Privates, Workshop, Cobwebbs, Thigh Master and Mad Boots, along with Melbourne’s Fatti Frances and Hobart’s Peter Escott (of The Native Cats), while the Drty Shdws Prjkt crew mess upstairs with Sydney’s Melt Unit, back-to-back DJs, tasteful smiley faces and more.
