Slip, slop, slay. Summer Camp Festival returns to Melbourne and Sydney in 2023 for the queers, curious, and cuties.
It’s the 2023 iteration of the event that kicked off in a big way last year, which featured artists like Years & Years, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Big Freedia, The Veronicas and more.
Well, get your besties together and mark your calendars for another round – featuring live music, DJs, art and performances. . . In 2023, the first artist to join the celebrations is UK pop icon Jessie Ware.
This will be Jessie’s first visit to Australia in ten years. . . And a lot has happened in that decade. She’s had a total of six top ten UK albums, 2.5 billion streams worldwide, performances at Glastonbury, Primavera Sound and more, a #1 podcast, and a duet with our own Kylie Minogue. Jessie has been cemented as a pop disco queen and a loyal, queer ally.
Jessie has also just released the new single and video for ‘Freak Me Now’, a collaboration with legendary electronic pop singer Roisin Murphy. This is an updated version of a fan-favourite track from Jessie’s critically-adored latest work ‘That! Feels Good!’, which features previous singles ‘Free Yourself’, ‘Pearls’, and ‘Begin Again’.
Summer Camp Festival is on in Melbourne on 2 December and Sydney on 3 December.
