Emerging Aussie Acts To Play New Music Stage At 2018 St Kilda Festival

The main line up for St Kilda Festival 2018 might still be under lock and key but they've given us a little taste today by revealing the line-up for the New Music Stage.

Filling up the stage come February will be the likes of Baker Boy, Swim Season, Slow Coaching, Batz and a whole lot more.

The New Music Stage does more than provide a platform for emerging Australian talent, it also gives one of the ten acts the chance to pocket $5,000 and bag themselves an invitation to play the St Kilda main stage in 2019.

City of Port Phillip Mayor Cr Bernadene Voss has seen the New Music Stage discover artists such as Client Liaison, Husky and Missy Higgens over the years.

“The St Kilda Festival has provided a foundation for many up-and-coming artists over the years to build on their portfolios and experience in front of large crowds through the New Music Stage competition,” Voss said.

“The City of Port Phillip is passionate about supporting emerging acts and Australian music industry, and we’re eager to see what next year’s performers bring to the stage.“

As always, St Kilda festival is entirely free to attend with the full line-up set to be dropped in January.
