It's time for another summer of dancing, drinking and good times at Piknic Électronik. The electronic music party series returns for its sixth iteration, bringing openair revelry to Sidney Myer Music Bowl from 10am–10pm one Sunday a month — this is a change from the weekly parties of previous years, to a jam-packed monthly event.
Detroit's record label owner, DJ and musician Moodymann will bring soulful sounds to the December event, getting punters moving with his signature blend of techno and house, alongside co-headliner and old-school dance music master Mr G. Also on the lineup is Nastia — one of the biggest names in modern techno, all the way from Ukraine — supported by Melbourne's own Laura King.
Piknic has again teamed up with Thick as Thieves to co-present February's festivities, curating sets from Cologne super house duo Andhim, Melbourne's Boogs, Brian Fantana and BINI. The lineup for the final Sunday of the season, March 29, is still being kept under wraps, but you can expect something epic to finish up the summer.
In between sets, you can get a drink at the bar, fill up on treats from local food trucks and take a moment to relax in a dedicated chill-out zone.
