Brunswick Music Festival, one of Melbourne's longest running and most cherished community music festivals, returns for its 38th year from 1-8 March 2026.

Produced by Merri-bek City Council and carefully curated by local legend MzRizk, BMF brings a massive week of live music programming to Brunswick, celebrating the suburb's significant contributions to live music. This year’s installation of BMF centres on community, with a program reflecting the smorgasbord of sounds that shape Brunswick.

Kicking off on Sunday March 1, Sydney Road Street Party will see four stages spanning surf-punk to South African jazz, Turkish classical to youth Pasifika harmonies. Roving performances, pop-up acoustic sets and iconic venues opening their doors.

The festival then rolls into a week of non-stop live music across Brunswick’s well-loved venues and outdoor spaces, including performances from: Alfi Antico & Go Dugong, Khaled Kurbeh, RAFET, Rita Bass, DJ Krush, Xylourides, François K, Ganavya, Horns of Leroy, Fred Leone X Radio For Ghosts, Allysha Joy, Cool Out Sun, Jace Clayton, Pirritu, Leon Rodgers and many more.
