Known for delivering cream of the crop artists to the great Australian outdoors, SummerSalt will take place at Torquay Common on Sunday, 3 December 2023 with a lineup featuring Missy Higgins, Xavier Rudd, The Cat Empire, Jack River, Hollow Coves and Steph Strings.

This also marks Xavier Rudd‘s monumental return home – originally hailing from Jan Juc – performing his first hometown gig since 2009, where he performed at the Red Rally where people came together to petition against a massive development in the Sring Creek Valley. Taking to the exact same site, Rudd will bring along hits from his huge discography, including his most recent tenth studio album Jan Juc Moon [2022], the follow-up to Storm Boy in 2019.

Since its inception, SummerSalt has become an enormous success, delivering feel-good music to unique and picturesque destinations with a family-friendly atmosphere perfect for making memories. This festival event is the perfect place to bask in the sunshine with live music and a vibrant setting. Sun-drenched days and a sparkling haze of good times while you kick back or dance the day and night away!
