This year’s lineup is a testament to the festival’s playful and inclusive spirit. From nostalgic throwbacks to international pop stars, DJing drag queens, and techno rave caves, Summer Camp Festival welcomes everyone to dance, regardless of age, gender, or star sign.
Alongside previously announced UK disco queen Jessie Ware and drag superstar DJ Trixie Mattel, the festival will feature international artists, including underground American rapper and songwriter Brooke Candy, producer and DJ Kito, viral pop sensation Rebecca Black, Berlin club DJ Meg10, Afrofuturistic NYC DJ duo The Illustrious Blacks, British singer-songwriter Tom Aspaul, the iconic Belinda Carlisle (Sydney only), and ’90s dance diva Ultra Nate (Melbourne only), along with over 100 local performers across three stages in each city.
The Summer Camp Sports Arena will host international pop stars and party tunes, making dance the ultimate sport that unites everyone. The BEAT stage will bring together the finest sound selectors from house, disco, techno, and anthems for eight hours of non-stop music. In Sydney, festivalgoers can enjoy “Club Love,” a cheesy singalong and ultimate party inside an inflatable pink camouflage church, while in Melbourne, the Rave Cave will offer the best electronic music from AU/NZ.
In 2023, Melbourne’s St Kilda Marina will transform into the home of Summer Camp “By The Sea” on December 2, taking over indoor, outdoor, waterside spaces, the car park, and the rave cave. The Melbourne leg of Summer Camp Festival is proudly supported by ALWAYS LIVE, a 17-day state-wide celebration of contemporary live music, backed by the Victoria Government through Visit Victoria.
Summer Camp Sydney will take place at Wentworth Park Sporting Complex in Ultimo on December 3. This venue includes a sports field, car park, and clubhouse, providing a perfect setting for a vibrant day of music and celebration.
