Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage and Sounds Australia present THE AUSSIE BBQ SummerStage, in partnership with the American Australian Association, returning to Central Park, New York City on Saturday 14 June.
Since its inception in 2019 THE AUSSIE BBQ SummerStage has drawn thousands of New Yorkers to Central Park to see some of the best music coming out of Australia. Previous artists who have taken to the stage include Amy Shark, Baker Boy, Budjerah, Jebediah, G Flip, Haiku Hands, Hermitude, Last Dinosaurs, Peach PRC, Peking Duk, Spiderbait, The Teskey Brothers, Thelma Plum, Tkay Maidza and You Am I.
Now in it’s fifth year, 2025 may be delivering THE AUSSIE BBQ’s most eclectic lineup so far, with something for everyone of every age:
Flewnt & Inkabee
Gordi
Grace Cummings
PINES
The Grogans
The Wiggles’ DJ Dorothy Sound System ft. Lachy Wiggle & The Tree of Wisdom
Flewnt & Inkabee are a father-son hip-hop duo who can count Chance the Rapper and Simon Cowell as fans after performances across SXSW and America’s Got Talent.
Tiny Desk alumni Gordi weaves electronic elements into warm, intimate folk songs with NYLON suggesting she might be the “Female Bon Iver”.
Grace Cummings’ soulful ballads quickly rose out of Melbourne’s indie scene on the strength of her powerful, distinctive voice, described by Pitchfork as “a truly dazzling instrument”.
PINES combine arresting melodies, pulse-pounding beats, and elevated, atmospheric elements into a distinct, immersive sonic experience.
Garage rockers The Grogans channel ‘60s surf music into a contemporary sound coloured by blues and psych rock.
One of the most iconic Australian groups of all time, The Wiggles have been writing and performing beloved hit music for children since 1991, and will be debuting The Wiggles’ DJ Dorothy Sound System ft. Lachy Wiggle & The Tree of Wisdom for the first time outside of Australia.
Entry is free! Gates will open at 2:30pm with artists playing until 8:00pm. Showcase times will be announced very soon so keep checking THE AUSSIE BBQ SummerStage page on our website or sign up to our Inside Sounds newsletter.
