Regional Victoria’s beloved Winter Sounds is back, once again transforming the picturesque towns of Daylesford and surrounding villages into a haven of music, community, and mid-winter magic.

Taking place across four wholesome wintery days, Winter Sounds celebrates live music in intimate, unusual and atmospheric spaces, from country halls and bush schools to historic churches and aboard vintage trains across the region.

Now in its third year, Winter Sounds 2025 will feature acclaimed Australian artists alongside emerging talent, offering a diverse mix of rock, folk, alt-country, soul, and contemporary sounds -all performed in intimate and cosy venues including St Peter’s Church in Daylesford, Glenlyon Town Hall, Clunes Town Hall, The Old Schoolhouse at Kooroocheang and Bullarto Hall, accessible via the charming Spa Country Railway.

Winter Sounds 2025 will include live performances from Bad//Dreems, Caitlin Harnett and The Pony Boys, Cash Savage and The Last Drinks, Charm of Finches, Daisy Kilbourne, Grace Cummings, Maple Glider, Quality Used Cars, Sarah Blasko, Sweet Talk, Tim Rogers, Vika and Linda, and Watty Thompson.

Produced by the team behind the award-winning Riverboats Music Festival in Echuca-Moama, Winter Sounds is designed to bring people together through the shared experience of music, with carefully curated lineups, warm hospitality, and the unmistakable charm of regional Victoria in Winter.

Come and join in around the fire drums this Winter.
