It’s 2009. We’ve said “So long!” to Bass in the Grass, “Adios!” to Pure Sounds and The Big Gig and now its time to gear up for the biggest music and arts festival yet, The Darwin Festival!

And sure, there are heaps of pros to the site, networking mainly, as well as letting people know what you’re up to. You can even stalk celebrities.
