The beloved Brunswick Music Festival has announced its return for 2025, announcing its impressive program today.
Running from March 2nd – 10th next year, the Brunswick Music Festival will launch with the annual Sydney Road Street Party before jumping right into 40 gigs over nine days in Melbourne’s live music capital.
This year's lineup is set to be an impressive collection of local and international talent, as evidenced by two huge nights scheduled for Gilpin Park. Launching with a co-headline performance by Miss Kaninna and Elsy Wameyo on Friday, March 7th, US hip hop royalty Bahamadia will team up with Kaiit the following night.
Brunswick Uniting Church will also be getting into the action thanks to the unexpected one-off AT THE ALTAR OF US; an intimate showcase full of exceptional queer talent, featuring names such as Ruby Gill, Porpoise Spit, and Merpire.
Elsewhere, Puerto Rico’s Pachyman will bring the dub to Howler, as will Balinese gamelan orchestra Gamelan DanAnda when they join forces with electro-jazz-fusion group Firetail. Meanwhile, Brunswick Ballroom will host an intimate evening with US Americana trio Bonny Light Horseman, alongside a number of other amazing names.
