A lot has happened in a decade of The Hills Are Alive.
In its humble beginnings, in which two brothers dreamed of turning their family dairy farm into a musical mecca, The Hills Are Alive was a friends-only affair where each band was chucked a crisp hundred bucks for playing. Now, with artists like Tash Sultana, Safia, Harts, Amy Shark and more having graced their family home, the ten-year celebration has well and truly hit its stride.

It’s been lovingly dubbed the ‘friends-of-friends’ festival, known for its community vibe as much as it is for its ability to showcase show-stopping talent on both a local and national scale.
Last year’s installments boated the likes of Dope Lemon, Northeast Party House, Bec Sandridge, Flowertruck and more, raising the bar with each announcement.
The Farm is only an hour-and-a-half outside of Melbourne, but it could not feel more removed from the hustle and bustle of the big city. As is tradition, Hills will cap their attendance at two thousand punters to preserve the unique and intimate festival experience it is known for.
The lineup is still to be announced but if the past nine years of Hills Are Alive and its sister festival NYE on the Hill have told us anything, you’re going to want to mark this in your calendar.
