The accessibility focused festival for absolutely everyone!

Groove Tunes, the micro festival with macro heart, is back – bigger, bolder and more inclusive than ever! Returning to Melbourne’s iconic Corner Hotel on Friday 29 November, the 2025 edition marks four incredible years of celebrating live music, community and inclusion – bringing unforgettable performances to everyone, no matter their access needs.

Launched in 2022, Groove Tunes has become a trailblazing blueprint for how all live music events should look and feel: an all-accessible festival where absolutely everyone can enjoy the energy of a live gig.

Groove Tunes 2025 lineup features rising R&B artist Dean Brady, bringing his powerhouse vocals and live show to the Corner stage. He’ll be joined by dreamy indie-soul collective Velvet Bloom, genre-blending artist Dani Enli’s big hooks and high energy, and multi-instrumentalist Bel Kil, who delivers shimmering, feel-good indie-pop.

Descended from the Gugu Yalanji and Birrigubba people and raised in a musical household, Dean Brady blends Motown influences with a fresh, future-facing style. His forthcoming mixtape Dean’s Home (out 31 October) is a groove-soaked journey through love and self-discovery, featuring the stunning single “Lost To The Moon”. With soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics, Brady is fast becoming one of Australia’s most exciting voices and Groove Tunes can’t wait to share his unforgettable set with audiences.

Australian collective Velvet Bloom blend soul, pop, funk, folk, and indie to create their unique sound. Fronted by Maddy Herbert, whose emotive vocals and poetic lyrics captivate, the band combines expressive guitars, atmospheric keys and dynamic percussion into a cinematic soundscape. Known for immersive live shows, their 2025 self-titled debut album was hailed by Claire Mooney of Triple J Unearthed as “one of the best releases of 2025”.

Perth’s Dani Enli is shaking up modern pop with her fearless fusion of Jersey Club, R&B and trap. A self-produced, self-written powerhouse and skilled dancer, she’s racked up viral hits like “till the end of time” and “I LIKE YOU”, each with millions of organic views on Instagram. Dani’s electrifying live shows supporting Kennyon Brown, DJ Noiz and Teo Glacier have established her as a bold force, championing Asian representation and redefining global pop.

Bel Kil create a magnetic blend of indie-pop, mixing sharp songwriting and raw emotion with lush production with vocals. Bel’s EPs My Year and Wasted Emotion have earned her Spotify Editorial playlisting, spins on Triple J Unearthed, Rage and more. On stage, she’s captivating, lighting up venues and festivals across Australia. Catch Bel and her band when they bring their electrifying energy to Groove Tunes.

Groove Tunes in the brainchild of Dina Bassile, a passionate advocate for inclusivity and accessibility in the music industry. As a person who uses a wheelchair, Dina has firsthand experience of the gaps in accessibility within the Australian music scene. In response, she founded her business, Tibi Access to help open-up gigs and events of all sizes to everyone – a mission that led to the launch of Groove Tunes.

Alongside Groove Tunes, Dina has led and consulted on patron accessibility for the Australian leg of Taylor Swift’s The Era’s Tour, collaborated with St Kilda Fest to introduce Auslan interpreters for the first time in the festival’s 43-year history, created an accessible stage at BIGSOUND and received numerous awards in recognition of her work.

By embedding accessibility from start to finish – from venue design and ticketing to performance interpretation – Groove Tunes proves that accessibility and atmosphere go hand in hand.

Four years on, it’s incredible to see how this festival has grown into a community that celebrates music, connection and inclusion.
