Palm Tree Music Festival

Overview

Add another huge festival to your calendar, and thank Norwegian DJ Kygo in the process. Not only is the 'Stole the Show', 'Here for You', 'Stay' and 'It Ain't Me' talent one of the headliners at Palm Tree Music Festival when it makes its Australian debut this autumn — the former bedroom producer is also behind the whole shindig, creating it with his manager Myles Shear.

Until now, the fest has played The Hamptons, New York, Cabo, Mexico and Croatia, and proven a hit in the process. In 2023, it's adding a trip Down Under to its itinerary for the first time ever, including rolling into Brisbane Riverstage on Saturday, March 11.

While Kygo brings the fest some sizeable star power, he's not its only high-profile DJ doing the honours for the event's maiden Aussie run. Also hitting the decks is Tiësto, aka one of the biggest names in electronic music in the world for the past couple of decades. From initially getting mainstream attention back in 2000 with his remix of Delerium's 'Silence' through to his 2020 hit 'The Business' and 2022's Charlie XCX collaboration 'Hot In It' — and plenty in-between — the Dutch DJ will have quite the back catalogue of tracks to mix into his set.

With its holiday-friendly name, it should come as no surprise that Palm Tree Music Festival takes inspiration from Kygo's stints touring the world. Expect a cruisy vibe set to EDM's greatest and latest, too.

Also joining the bill: Lost Frequencies, Sam Feldt and Frank Walker.
