St Kilda Festival

St Kilda Festival, the legendary free and all-ages music festival, returns in February with more live music, family entertainment and community activations.

As one of the country’s most beloved summer festivals, St Kilda Festival showcases Australia's best established and emerging live music acts against the idyllic natural backdrop of the St Kilda foreshore.

The festival has been lighting up the inner city waterfront since 1980, to widespread acclaim. In the past couple of years, the festival introduced a new format, spreading the good times and sweet tunes across two days. 

So far the 2025 line-up is still under wraps, but we'll update this space as soon as we hear more. We do know that the 2025 dates are February 15-16, though.
