Vibes On A Summer’s Day has confirmed an ahead-of-schedule expansion into Queensland as the return of the legendary all-dayer builds momentum.
Jazzie B, Faze Action (who Traxsource recently labelled a world Top 10 nu disco act), Phil Smart, Kid Kenobi, Frenzie and Joe90 lead the charge north for the pared-back version of Vibes On A Summer’s Day in Brisbane - an event that guarantees to bring the funk, the groove, and all the summery goodness that is synonymous with the Vibes brand.
“We weren't going to do a Vibes outside of Bondi yet," Vibes promoter Joe Conneely says, "but The Triffid’s such a top venue and the memories from our last Vibes in Brisbane, with over 9,000 guests, are so good… how could we refuse?"
Vibes On A Summer’s Day was a firm fixture in the Australian music calendar from the mid-'90s to 2003, catering to fans of cutting-edge soul and the funk fringes of house and breakbeat. The event introduced headline acts as Groove Armada, Norman Jay, Gilles Peterson and Jamiroquai.
Brisbane hosts Vibes On A Summer’s Day at The Triffid 23 January. The Sydney event takes place at Bondi Beach Pavilion 24 January.
