Feature event

Inland Sea of Sound is on this weekend!

November 4 &5, Mount Panorama - Wahluu. Don't miss headliners The Black Sorrows with Vika and Linda Bull on Friday evening and Kate Miller-Heidke on Saturday evening, supported by a stellar lineup of local, national and international artists! 

There'll be a kids' Eat-Play-Craft area with plenty to keep them entertained, food, artisan markets, local beer and wine, three stages of music and workshops, all located at the very top of iconic Mount Panorama-Wahluu. What's not to love?

Other artists playing include Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen, Street Warriors, Tullara Connors and Victor Valdes Trio as well as local acts Smith and Jones, Matt Boylan-Smith and the Chloe & Jason Roweth Band. Plus, Medleko Meropa, the South African sensation at last year's event, are back! There's also artists from the Local Emerging Artists Program (LEAP), giving our young musicians a chance to hone their performance skills. The full program is available on the website, inlandseaofsound.com.au
