This year hits different. We’re celebrating 20 years of St Kilda Festival memories the best way we know how – with sun on the water, music in the air, and a lineup of absolute legends right on the sand.
When the main stage crowds surge and the streets are buzzing, Republica becomes your festival home base. A place to regroup, refuel, and dive straight back into the action without missing a beat. Whether you’re chasing your favourite act or just soaking up the atmosphere, we’re right where you need us to be.
And if you’re starting early, we’re open from 8:30am all weekend for breakfast, coffee, and beachside views – the perfect way to ease into a big festival day.
THE SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR FESTIVAL WEEKEND
We’re bringing together some serious talent to mark two decades of St Kilda Festival memories.

Simon Phillips & Friends – 3 Hour Jam Set
A true local legend returns, bringing some old-timers back with him for an extended live jam packed with feel-good classics, musical chemistry, and that loose, electric energy only a proper session can deliver. It’s the kind of set that feels spontaneous, nostalgic, and completely at home by the beach.
Soltribe x Jason Heerah x Carmen Hendricks – 4 Hour Extended Set
As the afternoon rolls on, Soltribe join forces with powerhouse vocalists Jason Heerah and Carmen Hendricks for a huge four-hour musical journey. Expect soaring vocals, deep grooves, and dancefloor moments that build steadily as the sun begins to dip over the bay.
