The country’s largest annual music festival, St Kilda Festival, has today unveiled its complete, jam-packed nine-day program for 2014, where more than 50 venues will play host to over 150 artists from Saturday 1st to Sunday 9th February 2014.
The Festival’s nine-day program will wrap up on the Sunday with the iconic Festival Sunday, where the sunset time slot will see Art Vs Science perform on the Main Stage, while King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard plays adjacent on the O’Donnell Gardens Stage and Bob Evans takes on the Alfred Square Stage.
The Main Stage will also host performances from soul and funk group The Bamboos, Mat McHugh from The Beautiful Girls, melodic duo Busby Marou, St Kilda local and Australian luminary Renee Geyer, indie-rock band Kingswood and emerging artist Shaun Kirk (winner of the New Music Stage competition in 2013). Readers can check out the full list of artists added to the Festival Sunday roster below.
This year the Live N Local program that celebrates home-grown music acts, will expand to South Melbourne and Port Melbourne. Held from Sunday 2nd to Saturday 8th February, Live N Local will see venues, retailers and restaurants open their doors to emerging local talent with more than 72 gigs across 32 venues.
If the long list of musical acts isn’t enough to draw you in, the 34th St Kilda Festival will also feature a vast range of other activities and events, ranging from the Victorian Open Beach Volleyball Championship to family activities in the Kidzone and a full day of action in the Dancezone.
The 34th St. Kilda Festival is set to open with Yalukit Wilum Ngargee: People Place Gathering, taking place in O’Donnell Gardens on Saturday, 1st February, boasting a range of local artists including Yirrmal and the Yolngu Boys, Crystal Mercy and singer-songwriter Benny Walker.
