On St Kilda Festival eve, the streets will be brought to life with sound.
A fun little fact for you: last year, St Kilda became the first-ever officially designated live music precinct in Victoria.
To celebrate its long history with live music and to get punters warmed up for the massive St Kilda Festival 2024, the precinct will become a musical wonderland on the evening of Friday, February 16.

Venues including the Espy, Memo Music Hall, The National Theatre, George Lane, Section Act Wine Bar, The Banff and The Vineyard will host free (or almost free) gigs all night long. From jazz to country, from punk to electronic, the sweet sounds of music will echo out across the bay.
“The famous music suburb’s legacy will be celebrated with St Kilda Underground Music Walking Tours with guest co-hosts Freddy Negro and Paul Stewart, and Jack Howard’s Epic Brass will celebrate classic St Kilda rock and punk songs of the 70s and 80s at Memo Music Hall, while some of St Kilda’s most exciting young bands, such as Better than Sex will play at the Vineyard,” says Patrick Donovan, Live Music Lead at the City of Port Phillip.
