Across three additional events – making April Sun a ten-event extravaganza to this point – The Church and Bob Evans will team up for their own special show on Thursday April 15. Then, on Friday April 23, seminal singer-songwriter Leo Sayer will be joined by Marcia Hines and Kylie Auldist for an epic triple bill.

Capping off the announcement come OPIUO and BLANKE – established and emerging producers in their own right – both of whom are set to put on a stellar show on Sunday April 25.

April Sun – the new brainchild of Live Nation, Pavilion Australia and revered local tastemakers Shadow Electric – will go down in the St Kilda Triangle next to the iconic Palais Theatre. The event allows attendees to book single tickets to each gig and hang out in a position of their choice in each zone, letting them enjoy all the action in a COVIDSafe manner – and yes, dancing is allowed.
