Following the success of last year’s sold-out, inaugural event which featured the likes of Client Liaison, Dan from Cut Copy, Fleetmac Wood, Groove City, and Dean Turnley, Dancing Heads Music Festival is returning for its second edition.
Held once again at the Barwon Heads Hotel (a mainstay destination for the post-chrissy celebrations for many years), Dancing Heads Music Festival is becoming THE only place to get turnt with your squad for Boxing Day celebrations – which to be honest is a way better option than heading to the shops to battle thousands of shoppers for the best deals, or for slapping on the sunscreen and heading to the Boxing Day Test.
Heading the festivities in the carpark, Sydney duo Cosmo’s Midnight (DJ Set) will be bringing their flavour to the Barwon Heads Hotel turntables for an epic Boxing Day DJ session this December. The powerhouse producers’ electronic, funk and pop elements have seen them come to form as one of Australia’s most adored acts. Their debut, triple j Feature Album What Comes Next featured a stack of guest talent, including Buddy, Jay Prince, Winston Surfshirt, Tove Styrke and more, and was debuted in an all-new live show to multiple sold-out venues across the country, as well as Asia, UK & Europe last year. Riding the high, 2019 has already hosted a multitude of accomplishments for the twin beat makers across St. Jerome’s Laneway Tour, their biggest national headline tour yet, a debut performance on triple j’s Like A Version, plus sets at Splendour in the Grass and Listen Out. With infectious sonic treats and unshakeable grooves, Cosmo’s Midnight will make sure Barwon Heads sees out Christmas with a bang.
They’ll also be joined by Bag Raiders (DJ Set), Cassian (DJ Set), and Dean Turnley, along with supports from Coco Du Ma, Dizzy Daryl, House Cat, Hudson Watts, Martha, Matt Ellison, and fresh from his performance at Burning Man Festival, the one and only Metwally.
And while last year was truly an epic occasion with top-notch weather, crew and music (seriously, watch the video below and re-live the vibe), this year the legends at Uno Presents have decided to expand the site of the festival to keep the spirits up before your Christmas blues start to kick in. This will mean more room to dance, triple the number of bars, a tonne more food offerings, and heaps more seating and shade to keep you satisfied and entertained in between these sets.
Oh boy, we’re in for it now.
Nestled between the beach and the iconic Barwon Heads Hotel is proving to be your sun-drenched escape, your Boxing Day festival destination for years to come. This will be the perfect way to kick off your post-Christmas celebrations, this year, and every year!
Dancing Heads Music Festival goes down at The Barwon Heads Hotel Carpark on January 26. Check out the event on Facebook, or visit the website and register for pre-sale ASAP.
