Lakyn: Melbourne-based singer-songwriter who draws influence from a very diverse group including Bob Dylan, Wu-Tang Clan, Frank Sinatra and Bon Iver. Lakyn first delved into the musical world when a broken ankle kept him from his first passion, skateboarding. He began by sharing covers of well known tracks by Frank Ocean, Carly Rae Jepsen and Ed Sheeren via Youtube which eventually grew his channel to a 50,000 following with 7.5 million views.

Hardwell: The DJ Mag world number one, I AM Hardwell world tour will make a brief stop into Sydney over the long weekend. This is the first time that a stand-alone DJ has ever been invited to perform a headline set at The Domain, and with the production values that Hardwell shows have come to be known for, this should be an epic one-off event.

Sat, Oct 4th, The Domain

David Bridie: Bridie returns to Australia for a very brief pit-stop to perform one special show in Sydney following his month-long tour of Canada. The gig will feature a collection of tracks from the 2013 acclaimed album Wake, his solo back catalogue and songs from his newest release, Take The Next Illusionary Exit. The new album, which was originally created as a reward for those who helped crowd-fund Wake, received such rave reviews it has been given a general release.
