St Kilda Fest will take over two of Melbourne’s most established live music venues, The Prince and Hotel Esplanade, on Sunday, 15th February 2026, delivering a full day of free live performances as part of the broader festival precinct.

Both venues will host outdoor stages from midday through to late evening, presenting a mix of emerging and established artists across multiple genres. Programming spans indie, folk, rock, funk and DJ-led sets, reinforcing the area’s long-standing association with live music and festival culture.

The Espy Live Stage line-up features Playlunch, The Slims, RubyHoo, Erica Avenue, Ella Ion and an acoustic performance by Lewis Ciavarella. The combined indoor and outdoor programming allows performances to transition from daytime festival activity into the nighttime schedule.

The Prince and Hotel Esplanade form a key part of the St Kilda Festival footprint, with both venues historically hosting a wide range of Australian and international artists. Their inclusion anchors the festival’s live music offering within established performance spaces while maintaining free public access.
