Set to scorch the Perth summer with an array of sizzling international talent and red-hot national artists, ICF'S (formerly Ice Cream Factory) 2024 programme is a tantalising offering.
Across 18 massive nights each featuring 3 stages and hosting 4,500 revellers, the open-air space at the not-so-quiet intersection of Northbridge's Roe and Lake Streets will again transform into a dance-floor wonderland of blistering beats and tropical rhythms.The ICF season has also being extended, now running from late November to mid-February and kicks off (22 November) with an all-Aussie affair featuring PNAU, Vera Blue, Cub Sport and Montaigne.
ICF's international arrivals this season include Ireland's indie-dance trio Two Door Cinema Club alongside English indie singer-songwriter Declan McKenna, tech house pioneer Patrick Topping ('Be Sharp Say Nowt', 'Forget') and four-time DJ Awards winner and total dance legend Solomun ('The Way Back', 'Home', 'Friends').
New Year's Eve will witness a special DJ set from English indietronica lords Hot Chip who'll warm the stage for Aussie underground icons Hermitude. Boxing Day will see red-hot producer CYRIL ('Stumblin' In', 'The Sound Of Silence' remix) will man the DJ booth, the perfect segue after a sweaty day of cricket! While a secret headlining act hailing from Canada will be announced in the coming weeks.
Other confirmed Australian artists are Bunnings rave royalty Peking Duk, dance music producer Luude ('Big City Life', 'Down Under'), indie rockers The Jungle Giants, electronic artist What So Not ('High You Are', 'Gemini', 'Jaguar') and dance duo Slumberjack ('Fracture', 'Afraid, Unafraid'); while Perth Symphony Orchestra will give Fred Again's prolific hits an orchestral rinse with maestro Fiona Campbell and DJ Wildflower.
"We are so excited to release our 2024 line-up which continues to grow year on year," Chris Bausor, Co-Founder & Director of Bar Pop Events, says.
"The Ice Cream Factory is now firmly on the map as a completely unique performance space for international touring names allowing us to secure top-tier talent like never before."
ICF 2024 will also feature a number of activations and installations such as the Red Bull Energy Zone Swing, Heineken Silver VIP Deck, Jagermeister Saloon, 3 Channel Smirnoff Silent Disco, and refreshed Drug Aware Chill Out Zone.
Tickets on sale from 6pm (local time) on 30 October.
