After its inaugural event to welcome in 2020, Melbourne's Sun Cycle Festival will move from New Year's Day to 30 January in 2021 as well as landing at a new location – Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
Headliners will be home-town psychedelic-jazz enthusiasts Mildlife and dance-floor favourite CC:DISCO!, making her return from Europe.Naarm-based selector C.FRIM, Krautback discotheque Wax'o Paradiso and neo-soul group Izy, plus local DJs Sophie McAlister with Chris Gill (Northside Records) fill out the Sun Cycle Festival line-up.
The day will also present a statement against racism, with event organisers sharing: "We dance on land that was forcibly taken from Aboriginal people.
"We will mark the day with a significant Welcome To Country, a moment we encourage all of our patrons to engage with and reflect on.
"The messages of equality and sustainability will be a common-thread through not only our line-up but the environment we come together in."
General tickets go on sale from 12pm EDT on 16 December.
Sun Cycle Festival takes place at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on 30 January.
