Gateway Festival returns to Melbourne's electronic music scene with international headliners and local artists.
Following a successful debut, Gateway Festival will once again transform the iconic Sculpture Gardens of Heide Museum of Modern Art into a celebration of contemporary electronic sounds. The one-day festival promises an immersive experience combining music, art and landscape in a setting just 20 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD.
Festival organiser Charlotte Layton says Gateway Festival aims to bridge European-style festivals with Melbourne’s unique cultural and natural identity. The event will feature internationally acclaimed artists and rising local names across three outdoor stages, creating connections between music, art and community in Heide’s accessible, open-air environment surrounded by nature and culture.
