Haydays Music Festival

2023

'HAYDAYS' is bringing some of the hottest international acts in the current global market to Hobart City. The large-scale, two-day/night, non-camping music festival will see 5,000 punters on the 27th & 28th December 2024. Particularly leaning into ‘Electronic Music' as a feature genre, via a new location for events, founded just 10 minutes from the Hobart CBD, at the picturesque Cornelian Bay. A stunning location with both bay and mountain views, seated under the great kunanyi/Mount Wellington.

For Vibestown Productions and its flagship event 'Party In The Paddock' it also provides another storyline in the next chapter to this ongoing tale; as ‘Beyonce’ has a ‘Solange’, so will PITP have a brand new baby sister in 'HAYDAYS' - the sleeker 'tastemaker' sibling that is about to hit the island. 2023 sees the first iteration of the festival that is set to be an inaugural event for many years to come.

Party in the Apocalypse

Party In The Apocalypse - Pt1 and Pt2. ‘PITA’ was the (COVID-safe) urban rendition of the late, great PITP and was inspired by the wild times that we lived through. With a fresh perspective on the word 'Apocalypse' and its origin meaning of fundamental change, it’s an important time for music, culture and art to stay alive.
Part 1 held on the 27th and 28th of December in Launceston and Part 2 held on the 25th and 26th in Hobart, this two day, non-camping music & arts festival battled with the ever changing COVID19 restrictions to bring some of the country’s best bands to the state.

VIBESTOWN + LUCA BRASI PRESENT

'Til the Wheels Fall Off

2016 - 2019

Til The Wheels Fall Off, needs a seatbelt warning before entering! It’s general knowledge that this notorious Tassie weekender is just a great excuse for local punk royalty ‘Luca Brasi’ to get all of their best mates and favourite bands together for one hell of a bender! Although the amount of Red Boags consumed is on par with the amount of brilliant live music, featuring some of the country's best up and coming punk music and heavier rock genre artists. TTWFO was founded by the ‘Luca’ boys themselves back in 2014 and has very much enjoyed a blistering 6 years, taking a pause in 2020 to assess if “the wheels have fallen off” yet! Who knows what looms around the COVID corner, hopefully more of these weekends!

Royal Eve

2016 - 2017

For a two year stint, from 2016-2017 Vibestown took on the honorary role of running Launceston's official NYE festival. Held on the waterfront of Royal Park, Royal Eve had an annual turnout of 6500 punters and provided the greater Launceston community with something special to do on NYE. Featuring local and interstate musical lineups with acts such as Blue King Brown and The Wolfe Brothers, the festival also had a big emphasis on family fun activities and the highly anticipated NYE fireworks. Royal Eve was a great time for many and an all inclusive NYE celebration for everyone.
