Overview

If you've been itching to up your live music quota after the year that was — and the year before that — the folks behind the long-running Brunswick Music Festival are more than happy to provide. The beloved northside event is back for a tune-filled 34th edition, taking over a whole stack of Brunswick's music venues, bars, pubs and parks.

The festival returns for an eleven-day run this time, with a packed program of artists performing from Friday, March 4–Monday, March 14. Bank on a sparkling lineup of artists, relaxed vibes throughout and plenty of affordable tickets.

Much of the magic will be happening at the festival's openair hub at Gilpin Park, with local acts like Kaiit, Adalita and Flyying Colours, plus Ziggy Ramo, Gordi and Didirri taking the stage. You'll also be treated to a diverse array of sounds from the likes of Sugar Fed Leopards, The Dacios, Birdz, The Merindas and Soju Gang, to name a few.

As always, some of the suburb's favourite bars and pubs are transforming into live music venues for the duration of the festival. The Venues 3056 program features an expansive lineup of gigs at haunts like The Edinburgh Castle Hotel, The B. East, urban winery Noisy Ritual, Brunswick BallroomThe Retreat Hotel and many more.

Plus, catch some less likely transformations, as local landmarks like Barkly Square, Brunswick Mechanics Institute and Brunswick Library embrace the tunes and become temporary gig spaces.
