SYDNEY’S ONLY LIVE-IN FESTIVAL, THE GREAT ESCAPE, IS BACK FOR ANOTHER CRACKING EASTER IN 2007!
The rolling hills and historic bunkers of the Newington Armory, a riverfront haven in Sydney’s Olympic Park, will again host a jam-packed Easter long weekend of music, camping and more!
The Great Escape brings the long tradition of live-in festivals like Glastonbury, Coachella and The Falls to the heart of Sydney. An easy 20 minutes from the city, The Great Escape features stacks of leading international and Aussie acts over three non-stop days and nights.
So this Easter, ditch your rellies, grab your mates, nab a tent, pack your car and make your great escape.

Music is definitely an important part of any music festival, however, The Great Escape should by no means be thought of as only a music festival, as the organisers provide their festival goers with a few extra bits and pieces to stir and inspire. Cabaret, comedy, spoken word, circus fun, yoga, markets, cult cinema, trivia, and disco bingo are just some of the creative kicks you can get at this festival, at Sydney’s Newington Armory.
