As i woke with a severe hangover Sunday, i had a series of magical moments appear in my mind from the 4th instalment of Nice Day To Go To The Club.
I’m not going to lie, i helped start this great day with a fair level of selfishness to get the bands that i wanted to watch on a stage in the middle of the footy ground that played such a huge part of my life as a kid.
This first photo sums everything up for me. Ross Knight from

@jacobmandude from
@miniskirt666 in the background. Ross is an Australian treasure and as you’ll see in the end couple of shots, I immortalised him in my house and his reaction was priceless, followed by him falling asleep on the couch after a big day.
We pick these bands knowing that they won’t only perform for you, they’ll stick around and get involved.
@213mattman from
@bronxovision walked around all day discovering new bands and taking photos with fans.
They absolutely adore the community feel that we’ve created and it’s all because of you guys.
Having people of different ages at our festival isn’t just about attendance, it’s about connection. It allows stories, music, culture and values to move naturally from one generation to the next, strengthening the fabric of the community. It was thriving in the 90’s, i feel like it’s back now with this generation of kids.
Thank you to Tom & Jack from
@daybed_records , you have carved this festival into your own now and i’m so excited to see where it goes from here lads, love your passion. To our fearless leader Mark Dittmar
