For the first time, Pitch Music & Arts have revealed their esteemed Arts program alongside the music lineup, featuring a range of Australian and international artists curated to encompass a broad scope of mediums and provide visual delight, rest, and play to patrons. This year’s program includes Adnate, Anatolik Belikov, Ash Keating, Builders Club, Clayton Blake, EJ Son, ENOKi, Georgia Treloar, Henry Howson & Ambrose Zacharakis, Jaqui Munoz, Joan Sandoval, Lukas Rafik Mayer, ØFFËRÎNGŠ (aka Melissa Gilbert), Petra Péterffy, Rachel Lyn & Cameron Trafford, Raquel Villa, Reelize Studio, Sam Hayes, TERRAIN, Tetrik, and UnitePlayPerform.
Returning to the festival will be the Pitch Pavillon and Pitch Precinct joined by new addition, Club Serra. Curated and produced by ØFFËRÎNGŠ (aka Melissa Gilbert ) – the creative force behind the UnitePlayPerform universe – Pitch Pavilion offers a hybrid habitat designed for the exploration of tangible artworks, contemporary performances and immersive sonic landscapes including ambient DJ sets, wellbeing workshops, inspirational talks and mindful activities.
Pitch Precinct, hidden among the campgrounds away from the main arena, will be hosted by some of Australia’s most revered, forward-thinking crews including Animalia, Kayzar, Kiki Bouba, Luna Blessings and Urban Analytics, fostering a safe space and eclectic music hub.
The newly added Club Serra, named after the rolling hills of the Serra Range in the Grampians, is designed as an ode to community and fostering connection. Club Serra will celebrate local talent with a lineup of collectives, labels, and parties such as Bex, Hannah D, Toni Yotzi [b3b], House of Silky, Mind Detergent, Vessel Records, Chuleo Club and Skylab Radio.
Following three consecutive sold-out events, tickets for Pitch Music & Arts will again be secured through the ballot system. This process once more requires patrons to agree to the ‘Pitch Pledge,’ which encourages positive contributions to the Pitch community, respectful behaviour, and a ‘leave no trace’ approach. Ballot registrations are now open and will close on Monday 25th November at 9am AEDT with tickets to go on sale to those drawn in the first ballot draw later that day.
Pitch Music & Arts invites patrons to escape the ordinary, immerse themselves in nature and delve into an amalgamation of music and art. The festival offers the opportunity to forge and foster connections with fellow electronic enthusiasts and savour the enrichment of shared experiences.
