Homebake Global Edition

Overview

Summer appears to finally be on its way (albeit a bit too slowly for most of our likings) and that means it's time to start thinking about which music festivals you want to head to in your best summery threads. Homebake is one such offering. This year the organisers have decided to go with a not-so-cheery doomsday theme and, breaking with tradition, have roped in a big-name overseas headliner for the festival's first global edition.

Thrown in with acts including Kimbra, Jinga Safari, DZ Deathrays, Hilltop Hoods, Husky and Angus and Julia Stone (playing separately), the headliner this year is iconic American disco-pop outfit Blondie. At the time of writing, more acts are still to be announced.

Not content with focusing just on tunes, Homebake also has a comedy stage (presented by the Sydney Comedy Festival), Cinema Pavilion (curated and produced by Kieran Darcy-Smith), and plenty of artiness thrown into the mix.

Update: The full line up has since been announced, including Tame Impala, Tim Minchin, sonicanimation, Sticky Fingers and more.
