Yarra City Council is excited to announce a new programming format for their sixth Leaps and Bounds Music Festival, set to take place from July 13 – 22, 2018.

.

The City of Yarra is home to some of Melbourne’s most iconic music venues and is bursting with a diverse array of boutique venues catering to fans of all musical genres and tastes. This year, Leaps and Bounds will hand programming power to those that understand the area the best, local venues.

Council will back venues putting on programs that specifically represent diversity and inclusion by providing financial, marketing and promotional support.

Leaps and Bounds Music Festival has always been about celebrating and promoting Australian music, inviting music lovers out to see great gigs in Yarra venues during Melbourne’s coldest months.

With over 50 live music venues in Yarra, there are performances and events to suit music fans of every genre, all age groups and every budget all within walking distance.

The 2018 Leaps and Bounds Music Festival will span 10 days from July 13 – 22 and will include the annual Smith Street Dreaming – an outdoor event that celebrates Aboriginal culture and history in and around Smith Street, to be held on Saturday, July 21.

Venues will be able to pitch for Council support until Monday, April 9 and the festival program will be announced in May.

Leaps and Bounds Music Festival is commissioned by the City of Yarra, programmed by Yarra venues and co-presented by Yarra community radio station PBS 106.7FM.
