You’ve probably spent many a summer arvo and evening at Victoria Park in Camperdown but now you can luxuriate on the green with food trucks, booze and two stages featuring some of Australia’s biggest party starters and other groovers from across the seven seas. As far as full blown music festivals go, this one seems pretty laid back: it’s like a picnic in the park that winds up into one big grassy dancefloor with their own special fireworks crescendo. If you’re an electronic party music fan, this is the New Year’s for you.
This year’s headlining acts include Blue Mountains hip-hop and electro duo Hermitude, US party DJ Girl Talk (who is not a girl, but instead a man named Gregg Michael Gillis), and dance music marvels Sneaky Sound System (you better believe it). They’ll be joined by dreamy disco-pop singer Owl Eyes, emerging indie pop warbler Graace, cinematic soundscape creators Safia, and other electro bros like Client Liaison, Touch Sensitive and Young Franco.
If you like the sound of this NYE soundtrack, you can sign up for presale tickets now.
