Overview

You've travelled there for the beaches, you've travelled for the wineries — and next month, it'll be a big weekend of live tunes that draws you down to the Mornington Peninsula, when NinchFest returns for its sixth instalment.

Taking over the St Andrews Beach Recreation Club from Friday, February 10–Saturday, February 11, the fest will serve up an impressive lineup of musical talent, spanning an even wilder array of genres than previous outings.

Birdz

Heading the bill is Melbourne surf-rock trio The Grogans, First Nations rapper Birdz, ARIA Award-winning singer-songwriter William Crighton and DJ Dexter of The Avalanches fame. Also taking the stage: power-pop outfit The Prize, Brisbane-based neo-psych act Nice Biscuit, 'cosmic country' star Freya Josephine Hollick, Noongar artist Bumpy and stacks, stacks more.

It's a laidback, family-friendly affair — and you can enjoy it all from the comfort of your picnic rug. BYO spread, or take advantage of the day's hefty lineup of food stalls and pop-up bars. Single-day tickets stat from $100, with weekend passes also available.
