The day-to-night party is set to feature Naarm’s sweetheart Pretty Girl (DJ set), the genre-defying SWIM (DJ set), and Eora’s very own Ciara. Together, they’ll explore the space between techno, house, and emotive electronica, setting the perfect mood to get you sun-soaked and dance-provoked.
As the sun sets, we’ll transition into SUMMER DANCE AFTER DARK – an immersive night experience inside Liberty Hall. Our after-dark spectacle will feature moktar, repping his Eora roots, going B2B all night long with Naarm’s label heads and sonic pioneers Sleep D. Designed for the heads, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
Commencing its new season over the weekend with TSHA, DJ Habibeats and DJ EZ respectively holding it down from sunshine to sunset, to the revel of perfect weather and good vibes SUMMER DANCE has come to be known for.
