Return to Rio Ultimate Summer Closing Party

Overview

Party your way into autumn at the third incarnation of Return to Rio, subtitled 'The Ultimate Summer Closing Party'. Held over four days at the Del Rio Riverside Resort, Wiseman's Ferry, the beats-heavy, dress-up music festival returns to see out the final days of daylight savings and balmy evenings.

Headlined by The Cuban Brothers, Brandon Block (classics set), LTJ Bukem, M.A.N.D.Y. (Philipp Jung) and Guti (live), closely followed by Mia Lucci, Phil Smart, Simon Caldwell, Ken Cloud, Nick Law and Gabby, Return to Rio has proved itself a go-to for Sydney dance and house fans over the years.

In addition to the tunes, there'll be a pool party and a costume extravaganza (seriously, punters go all out for this festival), so if you haven't yet visited the hire shop or got your sewing machine out, you'd best plunge into action. And here's a lovely thing to look forward to: throughout the weekend, to boost the positive vibes, you're asked to engage in random acts of kindness. Nawwww.

It's a first-come-first-served camping festival, but to Return to Rio in total comfort, it's not too late to opt for onsite glamping — there are various packages available, from one-person, unfurnished arrangements, to six-person, furnished packages.

Plus, there are a significant bunch of kangaroos onsite. Just sayin'.
