Daylesford celebrates queer country pride once again with a star-studded line-up. Heading to the country in 2023 will be opera-pop ‘Eurovision’ superstar Kate Miller-Heidke, ‘Drag Race Down Under’’s Art Simone, ABC’s sunniest weatherman Nate Byrne, and Rainbow History TikTok star Rudy Jean Rigg.

Also joining in the fun will be cabaret singer Dean Arcuri, transgender activist and radio host Sally Goldner, Jude Munro, Karen From Finance, DJ Du Jour, DJ Eddie, DJ Gay Dad, DJ Quality Time, DJ Casio, Tuck Shop Ladies, Cerulean, Marz, The Lost Girls, Hussy Hicks, Greg Gould, This Way North, Jude Perl, and Diamond And York.

These artists are just part of the action – all the trademark ChillOut events return too, including Ballroom Blitz, Bush Dance, Carnival Day and the Street Parade.

There’s fun for all of the family, as the All Ages Sound Shell event comes back after a successful debut thus year. It’ll feature performances, market stalls, and an intergenerational panel.

In addition to these events, a ‘Solid Gold’ POOF DOOF event heads to Ballarat this 9 December, doubling as a Christmas Fundraiser for ChillOut Festival.
