TURN IT UP

Red Bull Turn It Up takes over George St at Parramatta Lanes on October 22, bringing together Australia's best hip-hop and global sounds collectives. The crews go head-to-head in three battles, trying to win over the crowd with the most entertaining and creative mixes they can come up with on the fly. MCs select themes for each round and crews must respond in real time, with the crowd choosing the winner. The winning crew earns the honour of playing the headline set on the night.

Energetic concertgoers sing and raise their arms beneath colorful neon lights, while a smiling woman in red holds a blue cup.
