Main Beach: R’n’B, hip-hop and reggae lovers represent!
Promiseland Festival 2023 is making all the promises this year, with a whole new multi-genre concept and clutch of unmissable reggae, hip hop, and alternative artists, over two days on September 30 and October 1.
What is sure to be the perfect prelude to our warmer seasons, Promiseland brings to Main Beach a live-music experience showcasing everything from the invigorating and effervescent sounds of our continental multi-verse.
Touting itself as Australia’s first music festival to blend the intersecting rhythms of afrobeats and amapiano (which loosely translates to “the pianos” and is a South African subgenre of house music), this killer line-up will be headlined by US queen of rap Lauryn Hill (pictured), American-born Nigerian singer Davido, and Tems, a Nigerian singer and songwriter who rose to prominence with her 2020 single “Essence”.
They’ll be joined by fellow promising acts Fireboy DML, L.A.B, Ayra Starr, Koffee, ONEFOUR, and several more.
Promoters say this weave of musical genres and subcultures has gained unparalleled popularity across the Australian and global music scenes in the last decade, as numerous internationally-renowned artists tap into sounds beyond their borders.
They say Promiseland is not just about music, as it moves beyond the all-star artists and DJs into a scenic park-setting and immersive space with a spirited collective ambiance.
Promiseland will take over the famous picturesque beach-side Doug Jennings Park, offering a warm cultural vibe, luxury VIP area, and even a Promise Village which will host a “party haven” outside of the main stage, boasting a showcase of our country’s best DJs, MCs, and artists.
The village will also be filled with markets, stalls and lounges.
So be sure to gather up your fellow reggae and hip-hop loving pals to prepare for an unmissable weekend which is sure to kick off your summer of festivals.
Promiseland Festival 2023 is on September 30 and October 1 at Doug Jennings Park, Main Beach. Single-day and full weekend tickets are on sale now.
