Words by Talia Rinaldo
Put in your annual leave requests now – this will be a golden time.
One of Victoria’s premier boutique festivals from the last couple of years, Loch Hart Music Festival has lifted the lid on the first round of artists set to perform when the event makes its anticipated return in November, after an involuntary break in 2020.
Situated a stone’s throw from The Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge along Victoria’s iconic Great Ocean Road, the grassroots BYO event plays host to more than 20 Australian acts over one weekend on one stage in a natural amphitheatre in Princeton. In the past, the likes of Didirri, Alice Ivy, Alpine, WAAX, Last Dinosaurs and Genesis Owusu have performed.

“[These] smears, from people who play the man and not the ball, are demonstrably false.”
