CarriageWorks’ PLATFORM 3 HIP HOP FESTIVAL returns in March 2010 with three Saturdays of FREE hip hop dance classes (Sat 27 Feb, 6 & 13 Mar 11am-12pm), the ultimate graffiti and street art tour of Sydney’s inner west with legendary graffiti artist Mistery (Sat 13 March 11am-1pm), culminating in a slamming two-day celebration of everything hip hop on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 March.

Three years young, PLATFORM 3 HIP HOP FESTIVAL is Sydney’s smokin’ hot showcase of the five crucial elements of hip hop culture - DJing, MCing, beat boxing, break-dancing and graffiti art, by the best Aussie hip hop artists from all over the country. At CarriageWorks they’ll be creating one hell of fly hood. Don’t miss this unique chance to catch hardcore hip hop heads, hot local talent, and novices in a fun and family-friendly environment.

THE 2 DAY FESTIVAL: Let’s break it down. PLATFORM 3 HIP HOP FESTIVAL involves the opening party on Friday night, stacks of free activities on Saturday throughout the day, and a whole host of performances on Saturday Night. And while the Flexing Skillz and Freak the Technique events are ticketed, revelers won’t miss out on any of the action! Punters can watch all the hip hop battles and entertainment for FREE live on the big screen as the CarriageWorks bar and DJs rock well into the night!
