Darebin Music Feast is back for another year and the event has just released it’s tantalising 2017 lineup. Spanning across 11 days, the event will showcase the smorgasbord of talent Melbourne’s north has to offer.
The Feast kicks off on Thursday October 12 with a performance by Aboriginal band Coloured Stone at the Darebin Arts Centre which will be followed by an after party featuring an all-female lineup of Indigenous acts such as DJ KYAANZ (Willow Beats) and DJ Soju Gang.
The Darebin Council have also announced that this year’s Feast will be centred around the theme of inclusiveness following the success of it’s mentoring program AMPLIFY which helps local female, transgender or non-binary musicians get a leg up in the music scene. As always, the Darebin Music Feast will also host a Songwriter’s Award Grand Final, offering $2000 cash and studio time to the winning local songwriter.
The festival wraps up on Sunday October 22 with a closing party at Reservoir Bowls Club which will feature performances from a range of artists from The Fauves to Murray Wiggle for an all ages event.
