The beautiful and excessive chaos of 2023 continues as we tick over into April and venture further into the year and autumn with golden trees and crunchy leaves, the always-epic Easter long weekend and with it, a bevy of gigs, festivals and special events to explore.
This issue though, we’re skipping ahead to the wintery long weekend in June, championing the return of the National Celtic Folk Festival on our cover. Transforming the Portarlington foreshore and surrounding haunts into a bustling winter wonderland of talented musicians and performers, this year will showcase a full roster of international talent for the first time since 2019.
We chat with seminal Seattle four-piece Mudhoney, Surf Coast-bred multi-instrumentalist Immy Owusu, UK indie rockers alt-J, Melbourne pop trio Telenova, and music photographer Lucinda Goodwin in support of her forthcoming solo exhibition. We also take a closer look at Stars & Bars Music Festival, the Geelong Pride Film Festival and our usual round-ups!
