Fat As Butter Festival 2012

Fat As Butter Festival cordially invites you to their Big Fat Festival 2012 on Saturday September 22, featuring something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

Held on Newcastle’s pristine foreshore, this year’s festival is open to anyone 15 years or older, with a VIP area for 18+ only.

Once again the festival will be held across four stages, with a selection of international and local talent, spanning from dance, hip hop, rock, punk and everything in between.

Joel and Benji Madden bring Good Charlotte to Newcastle, headlining on the day. Get prepared for a loud and energetic performance! After announcing a hiatus in 2011, it didn’t take long for the boys to get itchy feet and return to the stage. Their latest single, Last Night, appeared in American Pie: The Reunion and made it to No. 3 on the US Billboard Charts. Joel is no stranger to Australian audiences, having just finished the first season of Channel 9’s The Voice.

After a killer six months that has seen 360 notch up a Top 5 ARIA single and album, a 3 x platinum single for Boys Like You (platinum status for the Falling & Flying album), a Most Hunted Award at the Jagermeister Independent Music Awards, three sell-out national tours and the Channel[V] Oz Artist 2011 award, you’d be forgiven for thinking the foul-mouthed
Melbourne rapper was running out of available shelf space.

Aussie rock legends Grinspoon will add some classic Aussie rock to the bill, on the back of the release of their seventh studio album. US pop-punkers Yellowcard are returning to the stage after a two-year hiatus,college rockers Wheatus will undoubtedly bring back teenage dirtbag memories, while Mystery Jets, bring a taste of UK indie pop.

From the homegrown Aussie garden, comes a true mix-bag of flavours, including hip-hop artists Urthboy and Seth Sentry, indie sensations Hungry Kids of Hungary and Art of Sleeping.

The dance stage promises to get the crowd sweating, fists pumping and lyrics dropping with local favourites.

If variety is the spice of life, Fat As Butter certainly delivers!
