Nature is healing. Melbourne's forthcoming April Sun festival is set to be the first large scale general admission live music in Victoria since the wretched pandemic wreaked havoc on everything we love.
The Victorian Department of Health and Human Services recently downgraded coronavirus safe requirements for events that are under 5000-person capacity. Entering the festival gates will a feel like being flung into a time warp; there'll be no seats, no tables, no pods, no zones and no segments required. It's back to dancing baby.
The Live Nation event has enlisted the help of some of the finest names in Australian music, spanning all genres, for an autumnal celebration of the ages.
Future Classic has called in the help of multi-instrumentalist G-Flip, italo-synth icon Touch Sensitive, Sycco and Thomas Headon to incite only the most impeccable of vibes.
POOF DOOF DAY DOOF is set to host a true celebration of all things queer and glamorous. A day party under a disco ball? has there ever been a quicker serotonin fix? The doof will see the likes of Sneaky Sound System, Electric Fields, Jawbreakers, Yo!Mafia, Sgt Slick, YUMMY and a heap of DJs and drag superstars join forces on an evening of opulence.
There will also be a heap of hectic live performances from the likes of Australian alt-rock legends You Am I, Magic Dirt, Dallas Crane, The Casanovas, Thick as Thieves, Cosmo’s Midnight, Eves Karydas, CHILLINIT, Hiatus Kaiyote, Harvey Sutherland, ASHWARYA and more.
April Sun has also announced that FOURA, TEYMORIE, and CHAMBERLAIN will be joining OPIUO and BLANKE on April 25th. While Lisi and Talakai will be jumping on as openers for CHILLINIT on April 30th and May 1st.
