An awesome line-up of musical acts. Local artists will mix with the hottest internationally acclaimed bands, together creating a unique and unforgettable party in the park.
Flying down from the Northern Territory will be Australia’s newest festival sensation EmDee. Described by BBC Manchester on a recent visit to the UK as “one of the most exciting acts to hit the City this weekend. Awesome!”
EmDee’s new album will be released in March and their current release Wandering is getting wide airplay on stations including Triple J, where presenter Nicole Foote said:
" I love Emdee and can't wait to get an opportunity to see them live. I think it could be quite electric. I've always thought that didg sounds great in dance production. This track is dreamy yet intense. Like a nine inch nails intensity that goes into a dreamy dancey vocal. "
EmDee are conquering music festivals around the world with their breathtaking fusion of didgeridoo, drum and bass and dance. This will be a rare and unmissable live performance in Sydney.
Floyd Vincent and the Childbrides has been one of Australia’s most exciting, unique and enduring bands for many years and always deliver an unforgettable, high-energy live performance that guarantees to get any crowd on their feet.
"There is not a single band across this wide, brown, hyperboless country that comes remotely close to the Childbrides. The greatest secret of the Australian world music scene is turning their incredible blend of Mexican/Calypso Rock in to a gyrating, pumping, nerve tingling atmosphere of desperation and intensity." Beat Sydney
" Floyd shares the stage with some of Australia's most respected musicians and
they are tight!" Drum Media
Rob Rayner and Deta from The Beez (Germany)

Rob Rayner and Deta are the two founding members of kitsch pop band The Beez from Berlin. Their performance will give this year’s festival a truly international flavour.
Heralding from the world’s cabaret capital, with guitar and accordion in hand, The Beez perform an eccentric and eclectic crowd-pleasing repertoire of songs in a wonderful, often outrageously funny, cabaret style.
They have performed at numerous international festivals and have just completed an Australian tour.
This is a special one-off gig for the Art of Living Festival, made all the more notable by the fact Rob and Deta are on their honeymoon!
BumpCity jams on the “old school” funk and soul music of Tower of Power, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, James Brown, Bill Withers, Blood Sweat and Tears, Wilson Pickett, Steely Dan, Ray Charles and Al Jarreau.
