WINTER WEEKENDER

Louisahhh, Fatima Al Qadiri & Digitalism All Part Of A Whopping Winter Weekender Lineup

With the ANZAC Day long weekend now a semi-distant memory, it’s understandable that most of us are trudging through our work weeks knowing that the sad and usual two-day weekend is all we have to look forward to. Or so you thought. This morning comes with the phenomenal news of a Queen’s Birthday long weekend jam packed with something for everyone – and a trip back in time like no other.

Party people BBE have today finally announced the lineup for their Sydney Winter Weekender, which will feature three different shows on three different nights, all at the one and only Oxford Art Factory.

Friday sees Bromance Records’ queen of techno Louisahhh jumping behind the decks for a whopping three hour set. In the now six years she’s been active, she’s made a huge name for herself both in her enthralling production, including her own singing, and deep DJ sets. Hopefully we’ll be able to last the rest of the weekend after what should be a whopping Friday, with an all female support by Linda Marigliano and Melbourne’s Made In Paris.

Saturday, BBE are teaming up with Sydney label and party collective Sidechains, to present Kuwait composer and visual artist Fatima Al Qadiri. Moving through a variety of genres, sounds and her own personal experiences, Fatima’s music is an experience of its own. Sidechains are set to provide perfect support for a show no doubt as unpredictable as it will be interesting.

Though you’d be forgiven for thinking the Sunday might be the most relaxed of the three evenings, you’d be completely wrong. Though it’s been five years since I Love You Dude, German duo Digitalism will be playing the Sunday, perfectly timed with their next album Mirage releasing next week. With them is the insane return of legendary DJ group Bang Gang, with a set made up of all the best early 2000s electronica. This is set to be a beautiful trip back in time, and one of the first Digitalism shows supporting the new album. Huge.

These shows aren’t ones to sleep on. Tickets will no doubt be going fast, so check the dates and tickets down below, get familiar with the artists, and we’ll see you in June.
