Northern Beaches Music Festival
50 live music acts on five stages over two days lakeside at Narrabeen, The Tramshed and Berry Reserve.
The festival includes fabulous, multi-genre world music on four ticketed stages and one free stage (free to the general public), set amidst our festival village of world food and merchandise stalls. All of the community and beyond are welcome to a fantastic weekend of live music , dance, food and performing arts.
When they say ‘multi-genre world music’ they mean it. From the brilliant Afro Moses delivering African dance rhythms and song, to the toe tapping, hard driving swamp blues of Daddy Longlegs and The Swamp Donkey, to “they just make me want to dance Psycho Zydeco” and the wild Celtic whirlwind that is Firrin.
Following this is the original country diva, Lou Bradley, plus the bluest of grasses, The Willing Ponies and the local original genius, Luke Escombe.
But wait! It doesn’t stop there, as they also have the glorious danceable and costumed Ukranian band Jaga and the original high energy dynamism of Akova, plus the up tempo Anglophiles, Traditional Graffiti and the coolest of groove, Dead Mellow as well as the raucous punk folk juggernaut, The Bottlers and the awesome retro 70s cabaret of The Trippy Hippy Band. Other acts include Australian legendary troubadour, Pat Drummond and the touring international artist from the USA, George Mann.
The list of the other incredibly talented original artists goes on and on.
