After its debut in 2017, Pitch Music & Arts Festival quickly became one of the most exciting and hotly anticipated events on the music circuit. Held at the tranquil foothills of the Grampian Plains, it aims to deliver a distinct blend of sonic soundscapes across three architecturally designed stages.
Dust off your doof sticks, because the festival will return in 2025 for its eighth edition. Across four days from March 7-11, Pitch will be headlined by Colombian-born, Berlin-based Fuunk Tribu, Chicago house icon Honey Dijon, electro duo 2manydjs, Italy’s self-described “rave demolition crew" 999999999, and a back-to-back set from Daria Kolosova and SPFDJ.
Other highlights include the Australian debut of Joy Orbison, Shanti Celeste, a live set debut from Fjaak, and Gabber Eleganza performing with multiple gabber dancers.
Local talent also features heavily on Pitch’s 2025 line-up, including Moopie back-to-back with DJ PGZ, Osmosis Jones, Mabel, Stev Zar, Jennifer Loveless and many more.
For those looking for a moment of reprieve, the Pitch Pavilion will re-appear in 2025. The tranquil sanctuary is where festivalgoers can participate in wellbeing workshops and mindful activities, listen to talks and interact with tangible artworks. Pitch Precinct will also act as a safe space away from the main area, hosted by forward-thinking crews like Luna Blessings and Urban Analytics. Edition eight sees the addition of Club Serra, named for the Serra Range in the Grampians and designed to celebrate local talent.
For those ready to rough it, you can bring your own tent and set it up in a free camping area. If you're a fan of creature comforts, there are different tiers of camping and glamping packs to choose from that include access to premium shower and toilet amenities, power, soft bedding and more.
