Polaris are officially taking heavy music out of the sweaty bandroom ecosystem and dragging it into the sun.
Their first ever curated summer event ‘Life’s A Beach’ hits Riviera Beach Club in St Kilda next month, and the set times have now arrived. If you’ve been itching for something that feels less like a standard tour stop and more like a full day heavy hang, this is it.
‘Life’s A Beach’ is a one day Melbourne event headlined and curated by Polaris, stacking a proper mix of local hitters as well as some international punch, the lineup is stacked: We Came As Romans (USA), Thy Art Is Murder, Ocean Sleeper, Caskets (UK), Terminal Sleep, Reliqa, and Headwreck.
It’s a bill that covers melodic metalcore, hardcore, post-hardcore, and more.

Polaris drummer Daniel Furnari summed up the vibe behind the event, saying:
“Putting together an outdoor fest that we can call our own has been a little pipe-dream of ours for a while now – and this coming summer felt like the perfect time to dip our toes in, so to speak! We’ve hand-picked a killer mix of old friends from abroad and at home, some familiar favourites and some of the best up-and-coming local talent. We’re so psyched to have the chance to create a new experience for our fans in such a unique and beautiful location. We can’t wait to have a mosh as the sun goes down, and most likely throw ourselves into the waves as soon as we walk off stage! Life’s a beach baby, don’t forget it!”
