We are delighted to announce the program for April Sun, held in the grounds of the St Kilda Triangle, directly adjacent to The Palais Theatre, just got a whole lot bigger.

Few bands enter their fifth decade of making music with all the fierce creative energy of their early years, like psych-guitar masters The Church. A body of work stretches across 25 albums and 40 years, a soundscape of sharp pop hooks and towering guitars complementing frontman Steve Kilbey’s lyrics and vocal tones.

Joining The Church will be ARIA-winning Bob Evans, the musical alter ego of Jebediah’s Kevin Mitchell for more than 20 years; he lands at April Sun with his new LP Tomorrowland, fresh off the press and ready to be revealed to fans for the first time.

Grammy award-winning, international chart-topping British music legend Leo Sayer has 16 hit albums and 26 hit singles to his credit! One of the most successful acts the UK has ever produced thanks to bangers like Thunder In My Heart, More Than I Can Say, Moonlighting, The Show Must Go On, One Man Band, I Can’t Stop Loving You, Orchard Road, When I Need You and You Make Me Feel Like Dancing he returns to his adopted homeland for April Sun.

A night of icons with Australia’s beloved musical treasure Marcia Hines is joining Leo. A career spanning five decades, 22 albums, selling 2.6 million copies, Marcia has garnered countless chart-topping singles and multi-platinum records. Marcia is an inspiration to women and Australians everywhere, constantly reinventing herself and setting industry benchmarks since she moved to Sydney from Boston at the tender age of 16 to star in the Australian production of Hair.

Melbourne’s high priestess of soul Kylie Auldist is the soulful voice behind the 2016 worldwide hit ‘This Girl’; she’s the leading lady of Australian funk/soul stalwarts ‘the Bamboos’ and a celebrated solo artist in her own right. She possesses a voice that can run the gamut from soaring vocal pyrotechnics to heart-wrenching tenderness, and her down to earth warm (but no BS) personality permeates through everything she does.

The award-winning producer/artist born OPIUO remains a consummate innovator. Edging past genre borders and boundaries at a ceaselessly prolific pace. The award-winning producer and artist born Oscar Davey-Wraight roots fluid blockbuster showmanship in lockstep with funkified grooves, rattling bass, and symphonic dance-floor wizardry.
