Australia's first queer camping music festival is back and celebrating its sixth anniversary from February 18-20. This year, Gaytimes will feature more than 50 live acts, DJs and performers playing at a lush campground in Gembrook, just an hour outside of Melbourne.
The line-up includes post-punk band Pinch Points, dreamy electronic pop duo Sumner, songbird Kee'Ahn, RnB singer Vetta Borne, singer-songwriter Harper Bloom, punk trio Scabz and Gold Coast hip-hop artist Hoodzy, among others. DJ sets will be curated by party starters like Wax'O Paradiso, Jennifer Loveless, Ayebatonye, Daws, Shinobi and many more.
Beyond music, Gaytimes 2022 will also feature performance art across genres like drag, cabaret, comedy, theatre, circus and dance. You can also expect fun interactive activities like visual art and light installations, yoga, speed dating, life drawing, trivia, talks, workshops and the return of the Gay Stuff Markets and Gaytimes Drag Race and Walk Off.
The festival will be fully licensed and BYO, and all tickets come with access to the campgrounds. Festival tickets have completely sold out, but if you're keen to join in on this enchanting weekend of music, art, community and LGBTQIA+ pride, tickets will be available for resale through the Tixel website.
