Ocean Sounds Festival 2027: one Saturday of live music by the sea on Churchill Island
The tenth edition of the Ocean Sounds Festival sticks to a single outdoor day: Saturday 9 January 2027, on Churchill Island, a small island off Phillip Island (named Millowl on the poster) in Victoria, Australia. The ground is flat and suits every age group. It is run by The Hills Are Alive Group, whose crew also stages NYE on the Hill and The Hills Are Alive. Its History page lists editions back to 2018, with two of them in 2022. The organisers acknowledge the Boon Wurrung people as traditional custodians of the land.
The bill blends Australian headliners with island talent. ARIA Hall of Fame member Missy Higgins brings her album The Second Act. The Living End, formed in Melbourne in 1994, play rock with punk roots. Pete Murray carries Longing, a number one in 2025. The Sunshine and Disco Faith Choir lean towards disco and house. Selve, led by Loki Liddle, a Jabirr Jabirr man, cut their album at Abbey Road. Phillip Island's own Elly Poletti reached the Top 6 of The Voice in 2023. Rageflower and a Millowl Dreaming performance rooted in Boonwurrung culture round off the day.
Gates at noon, music from about 1.30pm, close around 10pm; set times come later. On Moshtix an adult pays 139 to 159 Australian dollars by release, ages 6-17 pay 54 to 59 dollars, ages 1-5 pay 10, plus booking fees; tickets are named, non-refundable, and the show goes on rain or shine. Four bus routes leave from Cowes, Rhyll, San Remo, Cape Woolamai or Venus Bay; drivers need a 25-dollar car pass that funds local environmental work. The site is cashless with no outside alcohol, but rugs, low chairs and empty bottles are fine. Wheelchair access is step-free. Tents are not allowed on site; for a bed, the accommodation page points to Phillip Island and San Remo.
Save 9 January 2027 for the Ocean Sounds Festival, one of the festivals in Australia worth following this Australian summer.
