Organisers of this year’s Summer Sounds Festival have been forced to rethink their lineup amid border restrictions imposed as a result of the Northern Beaches and Greater Sydney coronavirus cluster.
With so many Sydney acts booked for the festival, several acts have had to be re-shuffled, and unfortunately, the Veronicas show originally scheduled for Wednesday January 6 has been the major casualty.
Hot Dub Time Machine will now play on Sunday January 31, which is sold out, Bump and Grind Block Party, to be headlined by DJ Nino Brown, is now on Sunday January 17.
Here is the revised lineup from the promoters:
JANUARY
FRIDAY 8: THE JUNGLE GIANTS + JACK RIVER + MERCI, MERCY
SATURDAY 9: BERNARD FANNING + SOMETHING FOR KATE
SUNDAY 10: DO YOU REMEMBER HOUSE? FT. GROOVE TERMINATOR
FRIDAY 15: MALLRAT + CUB SPORT WITH SYCCO + STELLIE
SATURDAY 16: HANS: DISCO RESURRECTION
SUNDAY 17: BUMP AND GRIND BLOCK PARTY
THURSDAY 21: RUEL + SPECIAL GUESTS
FRIDAY 22: SPIDERBAIT + JEBEDIAH WITH BODYJAR + END OF FASHION
SATURDAY 23: HAYDEN JAMES + COSMO’S MIDNIGHT WITH RUNNING TOUCH
SUNDAY 24: LIME CORDIALE WITH BAKER BOY
TUESDAY 26 (EARLY): BJORN AGAIN – THE WORLD’S NO. 1 ABBA SHOW WITH QUEEN FOREVER
TUESDAY 26 (EVENING): TIMMY TRUMPET
WEDNESDAY 27: OCEAN ALLEY + RUBY FIELDS
FRIDAY 29: BALL PARK MUSIC WITH SPACEY JANE
SATURDAY 30: DUNE RATE WITH THE CHATS, DEAR SEATTLE + TEENAGE JOANS
SUNDAY 31: HOT DUB TIME MACHINE
Since the original launch, Summer Sounds have also released Family Pods for certain shows, including Hans: Disco Resurrection and Bjorn Again. Also cancelled are Massaoke Oz and Human Nature.
