Overview

Australia's touring all-inclusive music and arts festival Summer Camp is returning in December with a lineup of over 100 artists. Following Summer Camp's inaugural run in 2022 which combined great tunes and LGBTQIA+ pride, the blockbuster event will be back in Sydney at the Wentworth Park Sports Centre on Sunday, December 3.

Leading the lineup are headliners Jessie Ware and Trixie Mattel. Ware teased that she was playing the festival back in May, advising that she'd be appearing on an episode of her podcast Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware before confirming her place on the lineup in July.

It's been a long time between Australian visits for the UK disco-pop queen. The last time she graced our shores was for Laneway Festival all the way back in 2013. In the period since, she's released four albums, including the immensely critically acclaimed What's You Pleasure in 2020 and its equally vibrant recent follow-up That! Feels Good!. But now Ware's drought of Aussie appearances is officially coming to an end.

Also on the bill: viral sensation Rebecca Black, who has had a major career revival since 2021, releasing a slate of acclaimed pop projects ten years after achieving global infamy for her so-bad-it's-good track 'Friday'.

Similarly gracing the stage are Brooke Candy, Kito, Meg10, The Illustrious Blacks and Tom Aspaul, alongside a stacked program of local musicians, DJs, dancers and performance artists.

The BEAT stage will be dedicated to thumping house, disco and techno tunes. Sydney will also be treated to Club Love, a haven for cheesy singalongs and big emotions.
