International indie alternative pop band MUNA (with tracks like ‘Silk Chiffon’ and ‘What I Want’) will make their Australian debut at the event, taking place ay The Domain in Sydney.

Rainbow Republic will be hosted by singer-songwriter and ‘Love, Simon’ actor Keiynan Lonsdale, who will also perform as part of the seven-hour queer mega mix of live music, DJs and dancing.

“We’re super stoked to play WorldPride in Sydney and to come down to Australia for the first time!” MUNA say. “See you very soon, mates.”

Joining MUNA and Keiynan will be G Flip, Peach PRC, Alter Boy, BVT and Vetta Borne, with more acts to come.

“I am stoked to be co-hosting and performing at Sydney WorldPride! I’m from Melbourne and identify as non-binary so just the fact that WorldPride is in Australia is exciting,” G Flip says. “I’m so honoured to be a part of celebrating Pride – it’s going to be epic!”

“I can guarantee some magic is on its way for us in Sydney 2023. I cannot wait to be part of it,” Keiynan Lonsdale says.

Singer-songwriter and influencer Peach PRC adds, “I’m so unbelievably honoured to be included in next year’s Sydney WorldPride event, after being so welcomed into the queer community in the last year or so and I'm so incredibly proud to be performing alongside some of my favourite people!”

“Rainbow Republic is for the young and young at heart, and is the biggest live music event at Sydney WorldPride,” Sydney WorldPride Chief Executive Kate Wickett says. “As we programme a full day of music, it was really important to us to book LGBTQIA+ musicians first. This is just a taste of the line-up and represents the incredible talent that abounds in the rainbow community and will be sure to have The Domain rocking this summer.”

“It’s exciting for us to be able to showcase incredible queer talent to the world on the last day of our 17-day festival of LGBTQIA+ fabulousness.”

Tickets are on sale now.
