Foreshore

Porno, pyros and politics are normally all you can expect when dropping into the nation’s capital most times of the year. Get yourself there in late November, however, and you’ll find yourself in for a major surprise – and it comes in the form of Foreshore Music Festival. Presenting a diverse and ambitious line-up, ranging from major internationals to sensational up-and-comers right here. The festival’s origins go back to 2007, and has returned year after year to Commonwealth Place, fittingly on the foreshore of Lake Burly Griffin.
