THE Peak Music Festival will kickstart your long weekend with a list of hugely talented artists performing at multiple venues across three days.
The beauty of the Peak Festival at Perisher is you can enjoy the snow in the morning, and party in the afternoon into the evening. And with a shuttle bus running between Smiggins and Perisher, you can easily move between the two resort areas.
Revellers have always kickstarted with a Friday evening visit to either the Smiggins Hotel stage, or The Man from Snowy River where music starts from 7pm. With most artists perform at multiple venues, miss them at one location, no problem, you can catch them at their next performance.
Popular duo the Hussy Hicks are returning to join other big names including Boo Seeka, The Regime, Shantan Wantan Ichiban and Cool Out Sun, all pumping out big tunes. Need more convincing, then check out what to expect, plus more.
Boo Seeka
A combination of pulsating sounds that bed down layered textures of electronic bass and percussive beats, Boo Seeka’s smooth synths and rolling beats keeps the energy sizzling like a neon sign on the Miami strip.
The Regime
Exploding out of Sydney’s inner-west, The Regime is a 20+ piece funk ensemble, that’s tipping the scales firmly back into the favour of fun. Dripping with raw sexual energy that’s one part James Brown and two parts Jamiroquai lavishly sprinkled with George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic, this instant party machine is an orgiastic carnival of the senses that has-to-be-seen-to-be-believed.
Shantan Wantan Ichiban
Holding it down at triple j, Shantan Wantan Ichiban has been the go-to guy when the national youth broadcaster has needed someone with great music selection and microphone presences to bring the party to Australia across the airwaves. Similarly as a DJ, Shantan has proved to be one of the most versatile on the circuit.
Cool Out Sun
Cool Out Sun is made up of good friends, good beats & good vibes. Melbourne based, with inspirations ranging from traditional Afro folk & Taaso to Afro-Beat & Hip Hop as so called World music.
Irie Man
Irie Man play classic songs & instrumentals from the golden age of rocksteady, reggae & roots music of 1960s and 70s Jamaica! Hear tunes by Delroy Wilson, Dennis Brown, the Upsetters, Jackie Mittoo, Stranger Cole, Lyn Taitt, John Holt ...
Gusto Gusto
Gusto Gusto is West Preston’s Best Dressed Band, playing music to make you dance. Oddly Australian music with a hefty dose of self-deprecation, our music is loud, happy and guaranteed to fill the dance floor. Come shake off your feelings with our own unique brand of foot stomping.
