Overview

Ain't no party like a Triffid party, and this Saturday they're prepped and ready to get it on for the return of Vibes on a Summer's Day. Think international acts, favourite local bands, beer, food and grooves that will kick off just after midday and last until the deep hours of the night.

Before you skip down to the exciting stuff, be a champ and read up Vibes on a Summer's Day's history. The day used to be a permanent fixture in the Australian music calendar from the mid-'90s to 2003, catering to cutting-edge fans of the soul and funk fringes of house and breakbeat. It introduced the likes of Groove Armada, Norman Jay, Gilles Peterson and Jamiroquai, among others. Now, after a 13-year hiatus, Vibes is returning to both Brisbane and Sydney.

Leading the day's line up will be the DJ of all DJs Jazzie B, funk brothers Faze Action, Phil Smart, Kid Kenobi, Frenzie and Joe90. They'll be delivering dishes of funk and groove across two huge stages. On the local front, Katch, DJ Rouse, Phil Pherry, Kieron C, Mr Walker, Bluesabelle Butterz, Gavin Boyd, Mr. Sparkle, Cool Hand Luke and Dj Chantal, and Anthorme Boogie Sephard with Boogie Nights will be proving some added beats.

Tickets for Vibes for a Summer's Day cost $45 and can be purchased online.
