Midsumma Festival and Heide collaborate once again to deliver a weekend of fabulous events supporting LGBTQIA+ artists and community.

A Midsumma Festival favourite, the Forest Collective will use their unique style of contemporary classical music to bring new and exciting sounds to the Heide Summer Festival. For this special event they will join forces with Diimpa, who draws on his experiences as a proud, queer, autistic Gubbi Gubbi man to create worlds through soundscape and sonic ‘wizardry’.
