Australian producer, DJ, and vocalist Stace Cadet has made a name for himself creating joyous, euphoric sounds and will headline the event, following on from the success of his massive hit single ‘Energy’, which blew audiences away and charted 21 in triple j’s Hottest 100.


Whether at festivals like Beyond The Valley, sidebyside, or in some of the most infamous disco dens around Australia, Mell Hall has got your dance-floor covered, and this June, she’ll be taking control of the beachside city, too.
