Crib Road is the heartbeat of the festival: a site of public celebration, art, and feasting that is free to all. This year, our music program presents artists originating from the West Coast, alongside defining Australian sounds across diverse genres. Down every alley and through every door there is something new to taste and experience, so follow your senses towards the unknown. Let the world take note: it originates here.

Kick off your festival celebrations on Thursday with a host of Tasmanian talent on the main stage, alongside karaoke at the iconic Empire Hotel. Friday features the Tasmanian debut of Bleak Squad, a new art-rock royalty supergroup featuring members of Dirty Three, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Magic Dirt, and Art of Fighting. And on Saturday, we turn it up to eleven with a headline set from none other than Spiderbait.
