Astral People's Summer Dance series announces its 2025/2026 return
Summer is officially back, as one of Gadigal Land/Sydney's most beloved daytime affairs returns for yet another year.
Gadigal Land/Sydney-based tastemakers Astral People have gone from strength to strength in recent years, having just recently celebrated their 14th birthday, alongside organising tours and shows for the likes of The Prodigy, Marie Davidson, Vegyn, Folamour, Kokoroko, Mount Kimbie, Objekt and many more in the last twelve months alone.
The beloved management and touring company has clearly not forgotten its roots; however, today, it is announcing the return of its much-loved Summer Dance series.
The series, with a rich history as one of their city's most respected and well-curated summertime gigs, returns to the Liberty Hall Courts for its third year, transforming the space's basketball courts into an open-air party, before carrying that same energy inside Liberty Hall for its After Dark counterpart.
With previous appearances by the likes of Four Tet, Honey Dijon, Bicep, Moodymann, Jyoty, Yung Singh, and many other international heavyweights, Summer Dance has become one of Australia's most reliable venues for showcasing world-class talent alongside exciting local names.
With plenty more events to be announced throughout the season, Astral has revealed that its first edition will take place on Saturday, November 29. In the daytime, the local selector Club Angel is paired up with Naarm/Melbourne's Crÿbaby, as well as Shall Not Fade label boss Bryson Hill.
In the evening, 2touch will take to Liberty Hall alongside the blossoming producer and creative auteur 1tbsp, as well as Mixmag ANZ Cover Artist Ninajirachi, fresh off the back of her eight ARIA Award nominations for her debut album 'I Love My Computer'.
