The Festival Hack Day brings together some of the brightest tech talent in the North East with industry experts from 7Digital, Soundwave, Twilio, Universal Music and the BBC for 24 hours of innovation and discovery on the theme of watching, attending and being part of a music festival.
The Festival Hack Day will be held at The Core within Newcastle Science City from midday Friday 20th until midday Saturday 21st February with teams of techies working through the night to develop their festival ideas into web and mobile apps to trial at the event. From creating personal line ups, to finding friends, learning more about the bands performing live and sharing unique festival stories the creators at Festival Hack Day will have an open brief to look at all elements of the live music experience.
