The team behind The Hills Are Alive festival have today announced a brand new event - Ocean Sounds

Set to take place on Churchill Island in Victoria on Saturday 19 January, the debut event will include live performances from the likes of Dan Sultan, Jen Cloher, Oh Pep! and Mike Waters, just to name a few. 

"We started The Hills Are Alive over ten years ago and now a lot of our friends have children and can’t do three-day festivals anymore, but still really want to go and see live music in a beautiful place," event director, Aidan McLaren, said.


"We wanted to create something for them, as well as something that could showcase more of the local area. Churchill Island is such a stunning location and the local food and wine down here is sensational."

Tickets go on sale from 9am this Friday (26 October); for more details, including a look at the full line-up, scroll down.
