Music Events in Castlemaine

Joel’s iconic songs come to life with unique jazz flair, great anecdotes, musicianship and huge energy.

Experience Mad Vantage, the instrumental prog-metal/nu-jazz project from multi-instrumentalist Solune, exploring complex rhythms and soaring melodies. With support from Selene and MINUTIAE, this promises to be a night of unapologetic and electrifying music.

Icelandic song-poet and raconteur Svavar Knútur returns to Australia, joining forces with Portuguese-Canadian Nico Paulo to play Castlemaine for the first time. Catch this Nordic troubadour at the Taproom and prepare for a night of raw emotion, laughter and unforgettable storytelling.

Castlemaine Idyll is Castlemaine's annual talent contest. Local singers. Live band. Famous judges. A family inclusive event. Food. Bar. Plus fun & talent for miles... Castlemaine Idyll 2026 will take place at Lot19. This year’s event will feature 30 live performances, an extended running time (after-show DJ's & dancing, anyone?!), guest judges, hot outfits, great catering and perfect weather (we have our fingers and toes crossed). We're also bringing back KIDS KARAOKE on the small stage from 1pm.

Join us for a wonderful evening where stories are sung, hearts are lifted, and music truly matters. This special concert brings together the unmistakable voice of Luke O’Shea and the warm, roots-soaked sounds of JC and the Tree for a performance that promises connection, emotion and pure musical magic.
