Live N Local 2019

Live N Local Festival invites you to head southside and say goodbye to winter with an eight-day celebration of music throughout the City of Port Phillip. Running eight days from 24 to 31 August, the Festival has announced the full 2019 program, which boasts a diverse range of free events spanning nearly every musical genre across southside suburbs.

Throughout the week, southside suburbs such as St Kilda, Balaclava, South Melbourne and Elwood will be host to a range of free live experiences, including Live at the Library (featuring Brooke Taylor and Delsinki’s Craig Johnson), Market Sounds at South Melbourne Market, Hooray it’s Friday at STARWARD (featuring SANNIA on her National Tour and supported by Kee’ahn), An Evening at Pause Bar featuring three captivating singer-songwriters and Live at Elwood Lounge (with Latin fusion and beats from Tekwani and ChibCha).

Live N Local Festival is proudly produced by the City of Port Phillip. Acting Mayor Louise Crawford said Council is excited to be presenting such a diverse bill for both the local community and visitors to the area to revel in this winter.

“Live N Local provides accessible entertainment to music lovers and musicians during a time of year when people may be less likely to venture out. We’re proud to offer an event that provides both a platform for artists to showcase their talent throughout our local area while also welcoming visitors to our venues during the colder months. Our 2019 program is one of great diversity which is representative of our City, and we are really looking forward to welcoming everyone to the Port Phillip region in the coming month.”
