Playground Weekender

Editorial

Soak up the last rays of summer on the sparkling Hawkesbury River, just 1.5 hours’ drive from Sydney. Gorgeous bushland becomes your personal playground, and with six stages, a cocktail bar, swimming pool, beauty salon and a fancy-dress Saturday, it’s more like a resort than a festival. But the music’s also awesome! Shake your booty to original disco purveyors, Chic featuring Nile Rodgers. There’s more dancing, care of Fat Freddy’s Drop, Roots Manuva, Unkle Sounds, Modeselektor Live, Bomb The Bass and more. Meanwhile, indie tastebuds will tingle to acts including Boy and Bear, Neon Indian, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Manchester Orchestra, Black Lips and Seekae.
