Confetti

Overview

People don't dance enough these days. It's a problem. To go out on the town increasingly involves people mashing their bodies together with a total lack of synchronicity while splashing waves of vodka raspberry on your white shoes. Melbourne nightlife needs a revamp, and this — the official dance party of Midsumma Festival — may be just the thing to do it. On January 12, the regal Palace Theatre will be fitted out in true technicolour Midsumma style to house some amazing dance music. The Presets head the top of the bill alongside New York act Cakes Da Killa and Melbourne's own World's End Press. These bands will then be joined by no less than nine DJ acts marking all the trappings of an epic night out. There could be no better way to kick off this fresh and exciting festival. Tickets are on sale here, or if you prefer your technicolour fun in daylight hours, check out the Carnival on the same day.
