Overview
Party on a private island with a lineup of visiting music acts, thanks to the legends at Siberia Records. The local label has partnered up with Laneway for a special post-festival sideshow on an island somewhere in the Sydney harbour. Which one? Not sure yet. Who'll be playing? They haven't said. But given their track record with these kinds of things, we're willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Set for the evening of Monday February 8, not much has been revealed about the Sydney harbour shindig. Up to 700 ticket holders will be ferried to the undisclosed island via speedboat from King St Wharf, for an evening of sets and collaborative performances by local and international DJs, fresh from their appearance at Laneway.
Island Getaway 3.0 marks the third time the record label has taken to the water, following a party on a barge in 2014 and a trip to Cockatoo Island in 2015. Guess we can cross the latter off our list of potential locations, with organisers promising this year's secret setting has "never been used like this before." Could it be one of these, maybe?
Previous guests at Siberia's secret parties have included Jamie xx, Fourtet, Mark Ronson and Kirin J Callinan. They also co-hosted a massive laneway party with Young Turks in Wollongong for New Year's Eve, which saw both Jamie xx and Fourtet drop by unannounced. Like we said, they've got a pretty decent track record in this department.
