Now in its second year, Summer Sounds follows its debut in 2024 and continues the partnership between Rolling Stone and THE ICONIC. The event is designed as a seasonal launch, combining live performances with fashion-led experiences in a coastal setting.
The Veronicas
Twin sisters Lisa and Jessica Origliasso, known as The Veronicas, have been part of the Australian music landscape for more than two decades. With hits including Untouched, 4ever, and You Ruin Me, their songs have topped charts both in Australia and internationally.
Their headline role at Summer Sounds 2025 adds another chapter to their career, with a performance expected to draw long-time fans as well as new audiences. Known for their energy on stage and ability to connect with crowds, the duo will bring their music to Bondi in a setting that reflects the start of the Australian summer.
Summer Sounds Competition
Access to the event will be through a competition run by THE ICONIC rather than standard ticket sales. To enter, customers must hold an ICONIC account and submit their details via the Summer Sounds page on THE ICONIC’s website, along with their answer to the question: which summer anthem would you play first at Summer Sounds and why?
The competition opened at 10:00am AEST on Monday 29 September 2025 and will close at 11:59pm AEDT on Sunday 19 October 2025.
The major prize includes four passes to the event, return flights to Sydney if needed, two nights of accommodation in Bondi Beach, and a $3000 voucher to spend at THE ICONIC. A further 25 double passes are also available, providing more opportunities for fans to attend.

A Bondi Summer Moment
The return of Summer Sounds confirms Bondi Beach as more than just a location for surf and sand. The combination of live music, fashion, and the coastal setting reflects the cultural role the beach plays each summer. With The Veronicas headlining, North Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club will host a day that marks the start of the season in Sydney.
