Brunswick Music Festival 2016

Overview

Sydney Road is alive with the sounds of music, as one of the largest, loudest community music events in the country returns for another year. For close to three decades, the Brunswick Music Festival has brought an eclectic mix of local and international talent to Melbourne's inner north. Continuing the annual tradition, this year's festival will once again see (and hear) a dozen different venues around the suburb echo with everything from folk tunes to choral cabaret.

The festivities run from Tuesday, March 15 to Sunday, March 20; think of it as a marathon rather than a sprint. Standout acts on the program include Japanese 'Godzilla funk' band Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro, Irish rock/jazz/bluegrass ensemble Moxie, and East African pop outfit Alsarah & The Nubatones. They'll join a strong contingent of homegrown performers, such as Mia Dyson, Kylie Auldist and Emma Donovan.
