Sydney Summer Series
The new summer festival will kick off with a star-studded lineup featuring The Jacksons, Village People and Kool & The Gang.
Overview
The Domain is set to score a massive infusion of music this January, with the launch of a brand new series of music festivals and parties. To kick off the Sydney Summer Series, which will run throughout January at The Domain, is a disco-filled lineup of international music legends on Saturday, January 12. The inaugural event will feature rock 'n' roll royalty The Jacksons, along with Kool & The Gang and The Village People.
Heading the bill, The Jacksons are set to make their first Aussie appearance in five years, with four of the original crew — Jermaine, Jackie, Tito and Marlon — dishing up hits like 'ABC', 'Blame It On The Boogie' and 'Can You Feel It'. They'll be joined by acclaimed artists Kool & The Gang, tapping into a back catalogue of tunes like 'Cherish', 'Celebration' and 'Jungle Boogie', as well as disco kings Village People, unleashing iconic songs like 'YMCA', 'Macho Man' and 'Go West'. California R&B trio The Pointer Sisters are also coming along for the ride, with Sister Sledge and Sounds of The Supremes rounding out that huge serve of old-school disco magic.
They'll all play under the stars, embracing summer at one of Sydney's best CBD al fresco venues. There's no word yet on who else will head down under for the new Summer Series, but let's hope it continues the impressive trend of the kick-off event.
