Back by popular demand, Goat Island Sounds returns to Sydney Harbour National Park on January 26th with six incredible acts and a magical harbour backdrop to countdown triple j’s Hottest 100.

The boutique festival, hosted by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, will see Sydney Harbour’s Goat Island transformed into an island festival utopia where guests will party with some of Australia’s rising stars of electronica across two breathtaking stages.

After a huge year of sold out shows and festival spots, including a stand out set at Splendour in the Grass, the always electric Ngaiire's headlining performance at Goat Island Sounds is one not to be missed.

Celebrated former-triple j host and programmer, Nina Las Vegas is a club and festival favourite both here and abroad, having supported the likes of Pharrell Williams and Mark Ronson on an international scale. She is guaranteed to light up the Quarry Stage.

Riding the crest of a new wave of Australian electronic producers, Basenji has been making noise, both at home and internationally and will be turning heads as he takes to the Quarry Stage.

DJ, producer and the winner of triple j's Unearthed 2016 National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMA) contest, Kuren is a rising star whose moody music can hit you right where it counts or get you up and moving with its vibrant percussive switch ups.

Armed with a hefty bag of wax spanning the history of house music and its roots in disco, funk and soul, FBi radio favourite Adi Toohey knows how to get feet tapping both on and off-air.

Former host of Arvos and Sunsets on FBi Radio, Ariane has had a big presence on the festival circuit over the last few years and her sets always grab you by the hips and invite you to dance and dazzle.

Guests looking for a chill vibe can also hang out at The Green with some garden games, tuning in to see if their song has made the triple j Hottest 100 cut, or grab some eats from local faves, Butter, Thievery and the Mountain Goat Bar.

With an island vibe, the hottest tunes and a killer view, Goat Island Sounds is the perfect event to enjoy amongst mates.
