There’s a new kid on Sydney’s festival block with Out Of Bounds, and they’re bringing some big names for their first year.

Coming to the Campbelltown Athletics Centre in Sydney’s south-west this summer, the new all-ages festival will see Illy and The Rubens top a bill that represents some of the country’s best and exciting young names.

With the aim of bringing the community out to support and get around live music right in their backyard, Out Of Bounds is providing the nationally-respected festival experience to the hungry music lovers outside the metro hub of Sydney.

Along with Illy and The Rubens, Out Of Bounds is boasting a stacked line-up including Mallrat, Trophy Eyes, WAAX, Alex The Astronaut and more.

It’s already been a massive year for the artists on the bill; Illy making his comeback with a string of acclaimed singles, The Rubens premiering new music of their own, while the likes Mallrat, WAAX and Trophy Eyes have continued to level up in becoming bonafide Australian favourites on stages right around the country.

With lockout laws recently announced to be lifted throughout Sydney, there is a spurt of optimism that the city is taking the small steps back to becoming a hub of live music culture that is celebrated and thriving.

“Hosting a music festival of this magnitude at the Campbelltown Athletics Centre is a sign that our city is bursting to life with opportunity.” Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr George Brticevic has said.

For I OH YOU’s Johann Ponniah, Out Of Bounds speaks to the kid in him that grew up in Campbelltown.

“I know what an amazing place it is to grow up [in]. I’m intensely proud of my hometown area and grateful for everything the community gave me.”

The label will also be offering a local from Campbelltown a paid internship with I OH YOU to work with them and the local council to bring a series of industry forums, panels and Q&As together to bridge the gap further between the community and the music industry in 2020.
