ART, MUSIC, VENUES
A SMORGASBORD FOR THE SENSES
We’re excited to present the venue and artist lineup for Port Kembla Festival 2025. Each year has seen venues overflow and lines spilling into the streets, so we’ve added a few to the books. Our official hosts are Military Lane (Dharawal Lane Dance Stage), The Servo, The Iron Yampi, The Bank Space, The Future Artifact, The Shave Cave, The Wentworth, Port Beirut (Yakka’s Psychedalic Garage) and The Wentworth. There are also surprise activations, ‘unofficial’ stages and pop-up vendors running activations up and down the street. Go for a walk, see what you find, it’s all part of the experience.
