The Pavilion Performing Arts Centre

As every Aussie knows, summer equals festivals – and luckily, there’s no shortage of options. Joining the pack this year is the inaugural Eton Mess Music Festival, which is here to kick off summer early.  Taking over the leafy Peace Park in the coastal haven of Sutherland (recently dubbed Australia’s friendliest neighbourhood), this small but mighty event is set to bring the vibes of a big festival, complete with a killer line-up, food and drink vendors and an inclusive setup that’ll keep you going from day to night. On the bill? Brisbane DJ and producer sensation Young Franco will be spinning tracks from his debut album, supported by a line-up including electronica duo Hellcat Speedracer, DJ and TikTok star MAD.DAY, pop-leaning muso Harry Hayes and Triple J presenter turned DJ Lucy Smith.  Just a 30-minute train ride from the CBD (and two-minute walk from Sutherland station), the open-air party will take over Peace Park’s The Pavilion on Eton Street — and yes, that’s where the festival gets its witty name from. Because whether you’re team pav or not, it all ends up in an Eton Mess.  Tickets to this 18+ event are on sale now for $55.
