The Converge Festival lineup has landed with Bad/Love, Young Lions, Sienna Skies and more set to play across Melbourne and Brisbane.
The Converge Festival lineup is here, and it’s bloody solid. The festival, which is described as “a new cultural experience for heavy music fans, combining live music & alternative culture,” will play host to bands including Bad/Love, Sienna Skies, and Young Lions.
The festival itself was revealed on social media on Sunday, with the full lineup announced live on triple j‘s CORE with Jack Bergin this evening (June 24). The event is said to fill “a gap in the market by providing an affordable and exciting mini festival,” a bit of a breath of fresh air in a time when plenty of local festivals (and even single shows) are eye-wateringly expensive.
The festival is co-headlined by Bad/Love and Young Lions, but there’s plenty more where that came from. If you weren’t tuning in live to CORE to catch the lineup announcement, we’ve got you covered with the full rundown on the acts set to hit stages in Melbourne and Brisbane this September.

Described as “more than just a music event”, Converge Festival joins Elated Music Festival (also featuring Sienna Skies) as another community-focused event celebrating heavy and alternative music and its fans.
The event itself won’t just be showcasing local acts on stage, though. We’re also in for installations from fashion brands, DJs, tattoo artists doing live flash (if you’re keen to get a festival tough sticker), and artist signings.
Now all that’s left to do is score your tickets and kick back until Converge Festival kicks off in Brisbane in September. Get keen, folks.
