Timber Yard Day Party with Willaris K

Overview

Dance parties are back on the menu for 2021, so Untitled Group is pulling together the tastemakers and boundary-pushers of the Australian dance music scene for one of its famed day parties.

Taking over Port Melbourne's The Timber Yard from 2–10pm on Saturday, April 17 is New South Wales producer, Rüfüs Du Sol collaborator and king of the buzzy electronic ballad Willaris K. Joining him are hyped up-and-comers Pretty Girl and Slam Ross 1000 on the DJ decks, while Melbourne locals Purient will do a live set.

The 6000-square-metre warehouse venue is primed for COVID-safe events, with roomy indoor and outdoor areas, and plenty of room for socially distanced dancing. That said, the venue will be operating at a reduced capacity for the eight-hour party, so you'll need to move quick if you want tickets.

This will be Willaris K's first full-sized Melbourne show in over a year, following a few warm-up shows he performed at Fitzroy's Night Cat last week.

Untitled Group hosted virtual day parties throughout lockdown, featuring the likes of Willaris K, Hayden James and Dom Dolla performing live-streamed sets. Now, it's taking the day party and the dance floor back to the people.
