Hot Licks Music Festival

As long summer days roll on, Mount Gambier’s once dormant volcanic crater lakes are set to explode - but don’t expect a hail of fire and brimstone. Instead of burning boulders, sound will streak across the skyline as a contingent of Melbourne’s finest underground bands and musicians flood the iconic basin on Saturday February 13 for the inaugural Hot Licks Festival.

Bridging the gap between rural youth and their city counterparts, Hot Licks will bring the finest of Melbourne’s burgeoning young musical talent to Mount Gambier, proving that physical distance is no match for artistic endeavor. With irrepressible young musicians including Redcoats, Boy + Girl, Wolfie & the Bat Cubs, Dozers, Teen Archer, Learn the Splits, Dancing Heals, Guests of Ghosts, Ross de Chene, Hurricanes, Jumpin' Jack William, Neil Wilkinson and Lucy Roleff the festival is set to bring the pulsating underbelly of Melbourne’s band scene into the wild. Championing the creative talent of youth, Hot Licks aims to smash the barriers between youth communities - with art as the common thread that binds us all together.
