St Kilda Festival

“St Kilda Festival always puts on a fantastic show – 2026 continues this tradition,” said Port Phillip Council Mayor Alex Makin.

The beloved St Kilda Festival returns for its 44th edition, featuring Troy and Jem Cassar-Daley, Peter Garrett, Cub Sport, Painters And Dockers, 3%, and much more!

Ahead of its full lineup dropping next week, the St Kilda Festival have announced three acts that will feature across its First Peoples First and Big Festival Sunday programs.

The proposed site is next to the Palais Theatre and, essentially, fills the gap in Melbourne for a purpose-built indoor live music venue for up to 5,000 patrons.

The existence of an LMP in Victoria provides a framework to support changes required designed to balance the needs of venues, performers and residents in a growing suburb.

"We're calling on participants nationwide to take part in 2019, and encourage everyone to apply."

And it’s free!

Ten lucky artists will be chosen to perform at next year's event.
