Barefoot Beats & Tabularasa Collective present: Skydance Launch - Byron Bay
SATURDAY 23 AUGUST, 2025
7PM – 3AM | Slash Studios | Full Bar | Indoor & Outdoor Spaces
Skydance festival touches down in Byron Bay for the second stop of its East Coast launch series, and this one’s something special. For the first time ever, a brand new warehouse location in the Byron industrial estate will be opened and transformed. But before we head into the night, we're gathering early for a communal dinner experience at Slash Studios, a creative sanctuary nestled in the heart of town.
This one’s powered by two forces known for crafting magic from the underground: Barefoot Beats and Tabularasa Collective.
Our Byron fam: Barefoot Beats.
Lighting up the fringes of the Northern Rivers for the last seven years. They’re built for dusty dancefloors and sunrise chaos. A community stitched together by groove, grit, and glitter.
Unapologetically underground. Curated by Monsieur Diop — stage designer, decor artist, DJ, and creative visionary — Barefoot Beats are the kind of crew who turn dancefloors into healing. Into art. Into release.
Now, in collaboration with The Ambassadors, they open the doors to Slash Studios — their new sanctuary for artists and creatives in the heart of Byron. And together, we’re teaming up to celebrate the Skydance launch and a nomadic homecoming, all at once.
Tabularasa Collective is a multidimensional collective known for weaving together music, visual storytelling, and immersive art. Their events blur the line between party and performance, offering a taste of the underground that’s raw, artful, and entirely their own.
Founded by the original Subsonic team, they've brought their vision to life across continents: from crafting the iconic Tribe stage at Summer Contrast in Poland, to hosting boutique gatherings and underground retreats in Fiji, and the beloved Waves: a surfside sanctuary of sound held on the shores of Crescent Head. Skydance is their latest evolution, a collaboration with the original Skydance crew to create something unforgettable.
We’re taking over with a full sensory fitout:
