Next month’s inaugural RAYDIA Festival is set to be the biggest LGBTQIA+ event in Australia this year, and it’s just grown even more with fresh line-up additions.

With three weeks to go until the event takes over The Domain in Sydney, it’s been announced that global dance music icon Cascada will make her long-awaited return to Australia alongside drag star Marina Summers, DJs Manuel Coby, Ana Julieta, BRYANT, and festival curator Dan Slater.

The new festival will head to The Domain on Saturday, 15 November, and showcase a world-class celebration of music, performance, and pride. The debut event was founded by Alex Daoust, the creator of the Domain Dance Party from Sydney WorldPride.

Cascada said of her first Australian appearance in seven years, “I’m so excited to be returning to Australia after so many years! The energy from Aussie crowds has always been incredible, and I can’t wait to perform all the songs that people know and love at RAYDIA. It’s going to be one huge celebration – I’ll see you on the dancefloor!”

Marina Summers added, “I am so happy to be performing at RAYDIA! Sydney always brings the heat, and I can’t wait to give everyone my full production show with Filipino pride on the incredible arena stage.”

Alex Daoust said of today’s announcement, “Australia has been missing a major moment for the LGBTQIA+ community at the start of summer, and RAYDIA is here to change that.
