Expansive orchestral-pop meets driving electro-rock, when dance-floor and festival favourites Van She go back to back with the quirky and original Oscar + Martin and Softwar in a night of the uplifting tunes and sweet harmonies that soundtrack our summers.

VAN SHE

Part rock, part funk, all fun, Van She are four idealists putting all the best bits of everything together to make their own slice of another dimension that weirdly nobody else has figured out yet. Having supported the likes of Phoenix, Daft Punk and Bloc Party, Van She bring their unique brand of highly addictive electropop to The Garden Party.

OSCAR + MARTIN

From critically-acclaimed musical ensemble Psuche come the wonky pop duo Oscar + Martin. Oscar + Martin create a gorgeous textured sound that blends keyboards, tape loops, toy instruments and percussion. Creators of lush beauty with a beat, Oscar + Martin's music makes your heart beat faster.

SOFTWAR

Softwar represent the new wave of electronic DJ artists heating up Australia's dance-floors. Tipped the "Ones to Watch" by Time Out magazine, the Sydney-based pairing of Myles Du Chateau & Jeremy Lloyd are making some serious noise on the global scene with more to come.

ABOUT THE GARDEN PARTY

This summer, a vacant lot in Southbank becomes your backyard - that is, if your backyard is home to some of the biggest names in Australian and international indie, electro and soul music. Astroturf and street art, deckchairs and DJs, flowers and funk. This is the place to spend warm summer evenings.

The Garden Party is the outdoor music festival with a difference. Join us in the Garden for drinks, great food and the simple pleasure of hearing and seeing your great acts on stage. It happens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 25 January to 17 February.

Where is The Garden Party?  On Sturt Street, right next to Melbourne Recital Centre.
