Palace Foreshore is St Kilda’s premier seaside live music precinct.

Situated on the historic St Kilda Triangle, directly adjacent to St Kilda’s iconic Palais Theatre, Palace Foreshore returns in 2025 to present a curated series of international and local artists across high summer.

Some of the most celebrated, cutting edge and forward thinking contemporary music acts from around the globe will perform against the stunning backdrop of Port Phillip Bay from 27 February - 14 March 2025.

Palace Foreshore acknowledges the Traditional Owners, the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation as the custodians of the land we are on. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging and recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded.
