Following a four-year hiatus in the metaphorical wilderness, the beloved Subsonic Music Festival is finally returning to the stunning real-life beauty of NSW’s Barrington Tops region from December 8 -10 to celebrate three days of music, art, glamping, dancing and connection.
With Subsonic’s 2019 event tragically cancelled due to bushfires for the first time since its inception in 2009, festival organisers are thrilled to welcome their vibrant community of music lovers and talented artists back to the idyllic natural surrounds of Riverwood Downs – a lush eco-resort on the banks of the Karuah River.
A truly electrifying line-up of over 50 international and Australian live acts and DJs has been announced for the festival’s 2023 edition, spanning some of the most exciting names in techno, house, reggae, acoustic, ambient, world, bass, trance, hip-hop, disco and everything in-between.
