Return to Rio
The Del Rio Riverside Resort in The Hawkesbury River saw the cream of Sydney’s party scene revel in a magical world of wonder at the much anticipated second installment of Return to Rio last weekend. Along with three epic stages of music, a pumping pool party and Australia’s most colourful fancy dress party, Riopians came together to indulge in one of the hottest line-ups of local and international acts that dance music has to offer.
Ricky Cooper, Return to Rio Promoter comments:
“Round two of Return to Rio was a thundering success and bigger than we could have ever hoped for. With unrivalled artists such as Ten Walls, Laura Jones and Mr C on the bill we knew it was going to be huge but thanks to all the fun-loving Riopians in attendance we were able to top last years efforts ten-fold.”
Riopians were also treated to some exclusive news over the weekend with the first announcement of the ultimate summer closing party, as Return to Rio returns again this March 20-22 2015, for two days and three nights of fun.
Usually tight-lipped about their line-up, Return to Rio decided to surprise Riopians with a teaser of acts set to blaze up the Del Rio Riverside Resort next March. Get Physical’s M.A.N.D.Y will be keeping the crowds dancing as the headliners for the ultimate weekend away.
Drum and bass pioneer LTJ Bukem will also be taking to the stage. After building up a huge following with his track ‘Horizons’ in 1995 and the Promised Land Series, he has been taking his unmistakable jazzy and atmospheric sound to dance floors across the globe, now this ground breaking DJ, inspirational musician, record label entrepreneur and club visionary is heading to Australia for Return to Rio.
Club scene royalty Brandon Block is sure to cause havoc on the Rio stage as he makes his debut in Wisemans Ferry. Brandon got his start at iconic London venues such as Ministry of Sound and Miss Moneypenny’s and quickly earned his legendary status as one of the first ever residents of the Space terrace in Ibiza.
Rounding off the first announcement is Uruguay born Guti. One of the most eager and interesting producers of the Latin-American house music scene, Guti will be playing a live set and has worked with the likes of Defected.
Ricky Cooper, comments:
“With such an overwhelming response from our first two events, we knew we couldn’t keep people waiting for a whole year for the next installment of Return to Rio. For the ultimate summer closing party we wanted Riopians to end the summer with a bang. We’ve got lots of surprises up our sleeves and promise to bring an almighty feast of beats, fantasy and Rio hijinks.”
In addition to the music, an action packed itinerary of alternative amusement will be on offer. Saturday promises another day of fancy-dress frolics, so dress up to get down in suitable style. Riopians can also enjoy water aerobics, meditation, pilates and yoga and much more of the weird and wonderful – the only thing that can be expected is the unexpected.
The resort also guarantees queue-free-bars stocked with delicious drinks and tropical cocktails, tasty morsels to eat, clean, flushing, toilets and hot showers. Complete with riverside air-conditioned cabin accommodation to rest your laurels that also doubles as an exclusive venue for the perfect post-poolside kick-on.
Just a mere 90 minutes drive from Sydney, Del Rio Riverside Resort also features a range of wholesome activities for one to partake in, including tennis, crazy golf, basketball, volley ball and water skiing.
Drive-up camping spots amongst the friendly kangaroos and a range of luxurious accommodation and glamping options are also available from the Del Rio Riverside Resort for an additional cost.
Golden tickets are available now on the melodic grapevine… seek and you shall find friends! Any remaining tickets will be on general release from Thursday 15th January 2015.
