DomeFest at Hordern Pavilion
Focused on the conversations that shape pop culture, identity and relationships for Gen Z and Millennial women, this Australian-first podcast fan festival makes listening a shared experience.
Overview
You might listen to podcasts on your own — in the car, at your desk, or while making dinner — but feeling part of a listener community is often what makes the format so special. With the arrival of DomeFest, an Australian-first podcast fan festival, this shared experience is taking place IRL, as multiple podcasts take over the Hordern Pavilion's stage for a one-day festival-like experience on Sunday, March 29.
The brainchild of creative events agency Finely Tuned and Dome — an industry-first podcast community and audience insights platform — DomeFest features four of Australia's most beloved podcasts and their massive fanbases in an entirely new setting. "Podcasts are traditionally a solo experience", says Dome Co-Founder Sophie Greiner, "The Dome ecosystem is about challenging that; bringing together like-minded communities who exist behind one degree of digital separation."
For the debut event, the focus is on progressive Gen Z and Millennial women, where aspects of pop culture, identity and relationships lead the conversation. Hosted by queer content creator, comedian and activist Milo Hartill, the podcast lineup features It's a Lot with Abbie Chatfield, which reaches 400,000 listeners every month, and The Psychology of Your 20s, a Global Top 20 Spotify podcast hosted by renowned mental health advocate Jemma Sbeg.
Also on the agenda is Big Small Talk — Hannah Ferguson and Sarah-Jane Adams' sharp news and pop culture breakdown — and Momentum by Missing Perspectives, a women's sport show highlighting fresh conversations around sport, fitness and health. Supported by live music, stellar food and drinks, giveaways and community-driven chats, trading in your headphones for face-to-face connection at DomeFest brings a whole new meaning to your favourite podcasts.
Pre-sale access is now open, with all remaining tickets on public sale from 9am on Friday, January 30.
