Graffiti at the Wall is billed as the first festival to combine Australian hip hop with some of Sydney’s most respected street artists in a one night event at Live at the Wall (formerly the Bald Faced Stag) in Leichhardt.
‘We wanted to get hip hop into the venue but the problem with hip hop is it brings a graffiti style crowd, and it’s always a worry if the venue will get painted on, says 18 year old organiser Jack Rock. ‘So we’re trying to create a reoccurring festival where it’s graffiti friendly.’
